One recently released document showed federal officers apparently shot pepper balls at a Portland Police Bureau sergeant during a protest on Oct. 20.
Several officers then exited the ICE facility and confronted the sergeant in-person outside, reportedly telling him “help or get out of our way.”

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
