This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not *in spite* of inadequate vetting but *because* they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.

Medical debt was set to be eliminate from credit reports in March, but that now appears to be on hold indefinitely because Trump has paused all new regulations and because the Treasury secretary has paused work at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

BLACK HISTORY — As Harlem’s movement lost steam in the 1930s, a number of Black Chicagoans wrote poems, authored novels and created art that reflected sharply leftist socio-economic views, as well as the scrappy, urban industrial culture of the city.

🚨 Illinois friends, phone Sen. Tammy Duckworth now and urge her to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act, a MAGA bill that adds no new protections for anyone + serves only to harm immigrants and stir up hatred. Keep calling!
- DC: (202) 224-2854
- Chicago: (312) 886-3506
- Springfield: (217) 528-6124
What does the Laken Riley bill "have to do with the wrenching loss of Laken Riley, or really any problem in our dysfunctional immigration system? It doesn’t. It just creates more problems — humanitarian, economic and constitutional." ~Catherine Rampell ❌️ #SenDuckworth, please oppose MAGA & vote NO.
Opinion | What does the Laken Riley Act have to do with Laken Riley? Almost nothing.
This is a terrible, demagogic bill that exploits a horrendous murder.

I think about the Wendy Carlos quote about being a barometer for other people’s relationship with themselves all the time. It takes a lot to endure something as vulnerable as gender exploration and transition and there are a lot of people who balk at the idea of showing themselves that respect.
