Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

This is unsurprising but disgusting all the same
CBP quietly revoked protections for at-risk people in custody—including pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and those with serious medical conditions—calling them “misaligned” with enforcement priorities. The rules required basics like diapers, formula, and water.

US Customs and Border Protection Quietly Revokes Protections for Pregnant Women and Infants

Former heroin addict turned HGH guy with worms in his brain who plays around with roadkill and only drinks raw milk: Everyone else is stupid and, frankly, their teeth work too good.

Gen Z bears a disproportionate share of our national gun violence crisis. It also appears to be the only generation to experience gun violence as the leading cause of death.

In response to the federal spending bill that could cut more than $1 billion from D.C.'s budget, hundreds of residents began lobbying senators, urging them to amend the bill.

What did they hear? To contact the reps in their home state. 😵‍💫

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

Here's the thing. There's no community or freedom or civil right you can sacrifice to the right wing that will satisfy their lust for control. You give an inch, they will mandate a mile.

And Americans want unapologetic leaders who see through the manipulation and refuse to back down.
