Can confirm: Just spoke to him, and Barber and two others were, in fact, arrested.
Story coming.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Do Democrats in Congress understand that an opposition party has to actually oppose things? Like with actions, not just half-hearted disapproving statements?

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?
Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.
Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Republican education policy seems to be to do whatever it takes to keep good educations out of reach of as many people as possible.
“Republican lawmakers are considering a change to tax policy that would make college more expensive for students receiving grants and scholarships to help pay their tuition bill.”
Republican Proposal Would Make College Scholarships Taxable Income
Republican lawmakers are considering making college scholarships fully taxable to help pay for continuing tax cuts that mostly benefit wealthy families.

How can this be the same paper that broke the Watergate story? It’s immensely sad to see my hometown paper go out like this.
God this is so grim
