Republicans are building a police state. Their promise to "get government off our backs" was always bullshit.

We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

With no end in sight, National Guardsmen deployed to DC grow weary | CNN Politics With each phone call home, the troops describe a mission unlike any other.

The frustration: the expense & the lack of clarity & purpose on the mission to deploy at home.

There is no purpose other than power. This is not ok.

From this week's #MemoToMembers: #NLIHC urges HUD to reverse plans to drop seven fair housing cases involving disparate impact discrimination. Weakening this protection risks allowing harmful housing practices to persist without accountability. More here: nlihc.org/resource/n...

Social Security pulls field office staff to answer overwhelmed phone line The agency, which serves 73 million beneficiaries, has struggled to improve customer service amid cutbacks, long wait times and a crashing website.

Remember when the Trump admin tried to shut down the Social Security call line — falsely claiming 40% of callers were “fraudsters”?
