At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

UPDATED based on yesterday's CBO score. The House GOP bill cuts $1.3 trillion in health care & nutrition assistance while cutting $1.6 trillion in taxes from the top 5%. This isn't shared sacrifice to address our fiscal trajectory--it's a direct transfer of wealth to the rich.
