While 1.4 million federal workers go unpaid, the tear gas, the bombs, and the cranes at the White House keep getting funded. They call it modernization. Let’s call it what it really is: demolition of the People’s House & democracy.

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.
