A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

It’d be a slap in the face for Congress to expand tax loopholes for Big Pharma companies that are making billions while overcharging Americans.
These companies should be held accountable for prioritizing profits over people.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses—
That’s exactly what Trump did.
The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few.
You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.
