Day 3, unrest continues in Los Angeles against immigration raids. Most protests are peaceful. But some agitators destroy property. Pink benches from Grand Park are used as a barricade. LAPD advance with tear gas, flash bangs to move the demonstrators back. A protester prays for peace. @latimes.com

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

No one voted for Trump to destroy the Department Of Education via EO to enable the privatization of our public schools. Without federal funds, millions of students in underserved communities would suffer, deepening educational inequities and widening the opportunity gap. Congress must act now.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
