In an attempt to avoid a #GovernmentShutdown at the end of next week, #Trump & #House Speaker #MikeJohnson are pitching a #stopgap bill that would keep federal dollars flowing through Sept 30. Trump & Johnson are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among #Republicans while still giving Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of #Congress & the #law.

“I don’t get to decide who comes into our country, & where they go after that,” Wu responded. “Our job is to keep people fed, & healthy, & safe when they arrive in our city. And we do that in order to make sure that everyone across our community is safe.”

This is absolutely outrageous. 🤬During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

POLITICOLoudermilk tour group taking basement photos 'raises concerns' for Jan. 6 panelThe select committee released video footage that shows the group taking photos and videos “not typically of interest to tourists," including security checkpoints.

In another revoltingly hypocritical move, #HouseRepublicans say #LizCheney should be criminally investigated, for investigating #Trump’s #Jan6 #coup attempt.

House Republicans on Tuesday said their one-time colleague, fmr Rep Liz Cheney of Wyoming, should face a #criminal investigation for her role on the select cmte that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
