BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Democrats in the House are sending threat letters to the law firms kowtowing to Trump that they're doing criminal bribery, maybe they should work some up on the myriad crimes DOGErs are doing and send them out.
This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

Cuomo held up Citi Field mass vaccine site amid beef with de Blasio

We will never out republican republicans.
Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good.
Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.
