Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty.
Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.

like another of those moments where Nancy ambles over to the stable and says, time to put this horse down
Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

"The letter was put together swiftly by Rep. Derek Tran, a freshman Democrat from California who flipped a GOP-held district in 2024 by roughly 600 votes."
👀 Frankly this is extraordinary. Beltway reporters may choose to dismiss this is a performance art but this is not normal. House/Sen Dems often have tactical differences but they never call out each other so publicly this way.
Schumer has completely lost it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Kids: Sources
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.
