Three years ago, Democrats and Republicans came together to honor the police officers who defended us, the Capitol, and democracy on January 6, passing a bill to create and hang a plaque in the Capitol honoring their bravery.
But Speaker Johnson has refused to allow the plaque to be displayed.

1. DOGE fires everybody at USIP.
2. A DOGE guy from GSA gets installed USIP's acting president.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.
