BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!
Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

Chicago to be ground zero for mass deportations, Trump border czar tells Illinois Republicans
Tom Homan made his remarks at a Northwest Side GOP holiday party. He also warned Mayor Brandon Johnson about the deportation plan, saying, "If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way."
