If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.
The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

Look at photos of US troops in Fallujah. (eg here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... )
They're armed like these ICE agents in Chicago.
But none of them are wearing the cowardly face masks of today's ICE thugs. Like the one throwing a young, female Congressional candidate to the ground.
