Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.
They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

You break it, you own it.
Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.
When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

Bottom line: Elon's vendetta against USAID and the federal workforce is shredding all of the systems that the USG has built up to protect the US homeland against global outbreak risks.
Scrambling to recall a few staff and issue some belated funding is just window dressing.
