Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal.

Comic Book Guy strikes again
Ironic given that roads reflect our political ideologies
Removal came after Texas Gov Abbott directed state DOT to withhold funds from localities if they did not remove "political ideologies" from roads.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire—who has torn up bus & bike lanes across the city—said Gov's order was "counterproductive" but that the city needed funds.
A pile of broken, colorful concrete pieces was all that remained of Texas’ first gay pride crosswalk as the sun rose on Monday, along with a few messages from protestors: “we are lucky to witness queer love,” and “don’t erase us.”
