what bothers me about the Grammarly thing is that it almost certainly isn't really giving edits based on specific authors so much as giving generic advice with random names slapped on top

The DHS Attorney who had a viral public meltdown in court at the height of the ICE occupation because it was too hard to follow court orders is now running for Congress as, get this, a Democrat. If we can learn what district she is running in, we can ask why she signed up to keep folks detained.
