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.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰
This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem.
Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?"

There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant.

Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence.

Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence.

The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him.

That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.
