While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege 1/3

While a little shaken up from the incident, I remain undeterred by this intimidation tactic by House Republicans to have a 24/7 state police presence to intimidate me and my colleagues. 2/3

This is also why I stand with my colleague @NicoleCollier95, who has refused to go along with this charade and is still on the House floor 24 hours later. We will not be intimidated by this, and history will remember this. 3/3

DC National Guard members actively training to carry pistols in capitol mission Sources confirm to The Handbasket that task force members are preparing to be armed.

SCOOP — Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me.

This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know they’re making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.

Dang, now how am I gonna keep up with you? Letters?!
