If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.
Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.
Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

This summer, I asked Republicans why they bothered attending committee hearings, since they’d been ordered by the Speaker to stay silent throughout.
They took it literally — and have gone from refusing to debate, to now refusing to show up at all.
A shameful debasement of the People’s House.
