Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Let's be clear about what's happening right now: Trump and Musk are dismantling the Social Security Administration from the inside.
It has nothing to do with efficiency — it's about sabotaging Social Security while they rig the government for billionaires like themselves.

Trump claims there's nothing he can do. But as I wrote to him today, the VP of El Salvador told me explicitly — the ball is in Trump's court:

Donald Trump is tearing up our Constitution, tearing down our economy, and tearing apart our government.
It's been 100 days of lawlessness, chaos, and failure from Trump, Musk, and their cabinet of billionaires — and Americans across the country have paid the price.
Shameful.

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.
The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.
Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.
