After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Bulgarian Chicago business owner dies in ICE custody, sparking calls for 'immediate investigation' https://abc7chicago.com/post/bulgarian-chicago-business-owner-nenko-gantchev-dies-ice-custody-family-congresswoman-call-immediate-investigation/18301520/

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

House Democrats should just start going into chambers and holding their own shadow House session, do speeches, rename post offices, whatever. make a big stunt of it & when Mike Johnson complains say "we're here, where the hell are you"

Let’s see if Chuck Schumer can redeem himself. He should announce that Senate Ds will use every tool of the minority to block action on bills and confirmations unless and until Rs have Public and Private hearings on the reckless security breach and demand accountability and action.
