MPD and mystery federal agencies have set up a checkpoint on North Capitol by Michigan.

On my block in Columbia Heights

ICE has parked outside daycares and churches. Nannies and children watched as ICE raided a business across from the Mount Pleasant library during story time. At Shrine of the Sacred Heart, an usher was arrested on his way to services. wsj.com/us-news/trump-…

Let’s be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act. Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.

NEW: A large crowd chases law enforcement out of Columbia Heights neighborhood in Washington, D.C. Dozens boo and chant "ICE go home" until they return to their vehicles and leave the area. The crowd cheers and celebrate once law enforcement leaves. @NBCNews

NEW from @AlejaCorazonHM and me: As Trump seeks to flood DC’s streets with federal agents and troops, churches are seeing attendance drops, fear, and detentions. Seven members of one church have been detained — including an usher on his way to worship. religionnews.com/2025/08/19/att…

Columbia Heights just told ICE to get out of our neighborhood. People on foot, in cars, on balconies, all telling them to leave our people the fuck alone

My colleague Aaron Parsley and his family were swept away in their home by the Guadalupe River. His harrowing story and their loss are described in one of the most important pieces @TexasMonthly has ever published. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

House Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid and take healthcare from more than 13 million people in the middle of the night Shame! #savemedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Super grateful for all the disabled activists in the room fighting to #ProtectMedicaid 💪🏼 #NoMedicaidCuts

🎉 That's a wrap! Thousands of stories shared over the past 24 hours and that’s just the beginning! Medicaid saves lives — let’s keep Republican hands off it! #ProtectMedicaid
