      Now something must be done

      About vengeance, a badge, and a gun

      'Cause I’ll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system

      I was born to rage against 'em

      Now action must be taken

      We don’t need the key, we’ll break in

        Actually, members of congress have been outed many times as accepting small “legal” bribes. I recall back with the fight over net neutrality that some were selling out for mere thousands of dollars.

    Er, since when? Perhaps before all those illegal immigrants showed up in the big sailing ships?

      California Senator (US, not State) barged into a press briefing being given by Kristi Noem (US Secretary of Homeland Security), without announcing, at first, who he was. Security, can’t say who exactly, pushed him out of the room, threw him down and cuffed him.

      One one hand, he caused a fuss on purpose. OTOH, we got a solid look at fascism in action.

      EDIT: It appears I was very wrong. Padilla claims the FBI escorted him to the room. I hardly see that statement being a lie as this was in a federally secured building.
