‘Killed off Elmo': Jeffries brings along stuffed friend for stunt on House floor
Elmo has a friend, indeed. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., brought along a stuffed friend to help make a point on the House floor Thursday. Jeffries held up a stuffed Elmo doll while accusing Republicans of targeting beloved children's shows like "Sesame Street" in their push to slash federal spending."Today, we are on the floor of the House of Representatives debating legislation that targets Elmo. And Big Bird. And Daniel Tiger and 'Sesame Street,'" Jeffries said, waving the puppet as he railed against the GOP-led rescissions Sends $9.4 Billion Doge Cuts Proposal To Congress, Targeting Npr, Pbs The moment, widely circulated online, came during debate over the Republican-backed Proposed Rescissions of Budgetary Resources from President Trump, which would eliminate over $9 billion in unspent or low-priority federal funds. Among the targeted programs: $3 million in taxpayer support for an international version of Sesame Street in Iraq. Democrats objected to what they characterized as cultural and humanitarian vandalism disguised as fiscal responsibility. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., delivered one of the sharpest lines of the day: "While you all have killed off Elmo, I urge my colleagues to vote no on this trash and I yield back," Garcia said. Read On The Fox News App Republicans dismissed the theatrics and defended the package as a commonsense rollback of bloated, ideological spending. The bill also includes broader cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports PBS and NPR, long-time targets of fiscal conservatives who argue the taxpayer shouldn't subsidize public Lisa McClain, R-Mich., rebutted, "I never realized Elmo was more important to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle than the American people." House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., pushed back forcefully: "The Minority Leader held up a Sesame Street character here on the floor as if Sesame Street's somehow going to go away," Scalise said. Sesame Street's Pride Month Post Sparks Backlash From Republican Lawmakers Amid Pbs Funding Threats "I was watching a commercial on TV yesterday where the Cookie Monster was actually doing an advertisement for Netflix because a private company is paying money to run Sesame Street. It's not going away. It's doing just fine. Very lucrative." Scalise argued the bill doesn't threaten Sesame Street's survival, only its taxpayer subsidy, and called out what he described as "far-left, radical views" being promoted through outlets like NPR and PBS."There is still going to be a plethora of options for the American people," he said. "But if they are paying their hard-earned dollars to get content, why should your tax dollars go to only one thing that the other side wants to promote?" He concluded bluntly: "They can still watch Sesame Street in Iraq. But let the Iraqi people pay for it — not the taxpayers of the United States of America's children." Even more eyebrow‑raising was the inclusion of taxpayer‑funded global health spending for procedures like the line items flagged by GOP lawmakers: $3 million to subsidize circumcisions, vasectomies and condoms in Zambia, alongside similar grants for transgender surgeries in Nepal. Republicans contended that pulling back these types of low-impact or ideological slush funds was a logical first step toward returning more than $9 billion to the U.S. Treasury. The bill passed the House Appropriations Committee earlier this week and Senate Democrats have signaled strong opposition. The bill passed the House in a 214–212 vote. Four Republicans, Reps. Mark Amodei, R-Nev.; Mike Turner, R-Ohio; Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.; and Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., broke ranks to vote against the bill.

State and local leaders on high alert for more protests over the weekend
Protests got chaotic in downtown Seattle Wednesday night during an anti-ICE protest that started at Cal Anderson Park as hundreds marched from the park to the footsteps of the Federal Building off of 2nd Avenue and Madison to voice their frustrations about how ICE has operated during the Trump administration and what is going on in Los Angeles. Seattle Police arrested 8 people as they tried to disperse the crowd after fireworks were thrown and dumpsters were lit on fire. 'These are challenging situations, right? Folks have the right to protest, but when things turn violent or folks are violating the law, there's going to be consequences,' Governor Bob Ferguson said. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell shared this statement about the arrests: 'We have heard rumors and media reports regarding ICE raids in Seattle today or this week, and are in close contact with the Governor's Office, the Attorney General's office, and King County to ensure a coordinated response. At this time, the City has not received actual notice of ICE activity from the Trump administration or DHS. The Trump administration's actions in Los Angeles are an extreme and egregious overreach of federal authority meant to escalate tensions and distract from his failures to live up to the promises he hasn't delivered on. We disagree with Trump's ICE policy of mass deportations that has already been on full display in American communities with arrests, detentions, and deportations often occurring in violation of due process. Seattle strongly supports the First Amendment rights of our residents, and we encourage residents to stand up for their values peacefully. There is no room for violence. Violence and property damage are exactly what Trump wants to spin his false narrative of our city. My administration is working closely with SPD to ensure adequate preparations and staffing for any demonstrations.' – Mayor Bruce Harrell And with more protests planned in Seattle and other cities in Washington, both sides of the aisle are worried things could get intense. 'I am concerned that one will be a little more violent. A little more dangerous and someone may get hurt there,' GOP Chairman Jim Walsh said. Governor Bob Ferguson says he has had conversations with the National Guard in Washington State if it does call for their assistance. Ferguson did say during a press conference in Seattle on Thursday given what President Trump did in California, he is concerned the same could happen to the Evergreen State. 'Oh, I absolutely have deep concerns that the decision that Donald Trump made in California could be replicated here,' Governor Ferguson said. 'By the way, his actions only served to escalate the situation in California. And we believe it's illegal,' he continued. GOP Chairman Walsh disagrees and claims that under federal law, the president can deploy the National Guard with or without the cooperation of the local governor. 'Now you may not like it. You may not like this president, but to say that what he is doing in California and what he might do up here if there are violent riots, to call that illegal is just wrong,' Walsh said. Although Republicans and Democrats disagree on the approach of these protests, they hope that whatever happens this weekend that things remain peaceful. 'And peacefully non-comply with government law or actions that they find morally objectionable. So we have to protect that right,' Walsh said. 'Anything that is not peaceful and violates the law and is violent only does one thing: it plays into Donald Trump's hands,' Governor Ferguson said. Governor Ferguson and Mayor Harrell's Office have alluded to a potential press conference on the game plan heading into the weekend protests. Stay with KIRO7 as we continue to monitor the situation.
