Whoa‼️ Acting FEMA chief David Richardson just told his staff, “Don’t get in my way… I will run right over you.”—at his intro meeting.

Threatening career FEMA workers who might resist Trump’s agenda. What matters is loyalty. Obey or get steamrolled.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Many Catholic leaders weren’t amused by Trump’s ‘joke’ about becoming pope
