I should note: by my count, this makes at least four clergy members *that I know of* who have been shot with pepper balls or rubber bullets fired by ICE/DHS agents in recent weeks — two Presbyterians, two Methodists and a UCCer.

Big year for photos of clergy enduring pain while protesting ICE.

I’ve been saying for a long time that Democrats should be holding press conferences in front of the White House daily. Now they should be holding press conferences daily in front of the destruction of the East Wing.

Does seem like there’s a non-zero chance that the shutdown never really ends and that Congress has already abolished itself.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2d

I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.
