200 Texas National Guard troops are returning home from Chicago, where they were sent to “safeguard” federal officers carrying out deportations. They’ve spent $4 million over five weeks to maintain a presence in the city where they were never allowed to deploy.

Once again, MAGA has turned inward and begun attacking its own. Indiana State Senator Greg Goode was the target of a swatting incident on Sunday, just hours after Trump publicly criticized him and other Republican lawmakers for refusing to redraw the state’s congressional map.

“So, they’re targeting breadwinners from these families,” said Montgomery County Council Member Kristin Mink, “and then we have companies that are then trying to extort hundreds of dollars from those same impacted families who have just had a loved one and a breadwinner stolen from them.”
NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

Democracy needs the Constitution. Without it we don’t have democracy. It’s a simple formula. Our veterans fought for the ideals our Constitution is built on. It’s worth fighting for. It’s still necessary to keep fighting for our Constitutional rights. Every day!

Now journalists cannot access the Dep of State without PRIOR ARRANGEMENT/APPROVAL.

Prior, credentialed press could access the building with a daily pass issued right on spot, pressers were open coverage as well as any “special events”. You could also apply for a permanent pass.
