If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.
Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.
Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.
But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.
