Raw Story Exclusive

A chaotic town hall for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday ended in the arrests of two men — who were tased by local police — and a woman arrested on a "vulgar language" charge, all spending the night in jail, a protest organizer told Raw Story.

Andrew Russell Nelms, 40, and Johnny Keith Williams, 45, were arrested at Greene's town hall at the Acworth Community Center in Acworth, Georgia, on Tuesday, on two charges — simple battery of a law enforcement officer and obstruction of a law enforcement officer — and Kiyana Davis, 28, was arrested on a city ordinance charge for "vulgar language," according to a news release published by the Acworth Police Department.

Ivan Raiklin, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who calls himself the “secretary of retribution,” has circulated a so-called “Deep State target list” of President Donald Trump’s political enemies for more than a year now.

Although his promise of spectacular “live-streamed” arrests of hundreds of political figures up to and including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on fancifully concocted charges of treason and other purported violations of law has yet to materialize, Raiklin was able to enlist new allies after Trump vacated the convictions of more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants.

As the Trump administration freezes billions of dollars in federal funds at the nation's most elite universities, some smaller colleges serving large numbers of diverse and low-income students are watching with existential dread, fearing that the administration will come for their federal funds if they speak out against President Donald Trump's sweeping executive orders.

Tribal colleges and universities and minority serving institutions are particularly vulnerable when it comes to potential federal funding cuts, threatening some schools’ very existence or, at the very least, leading to jobs cuts and the shutdown of research and student programs, current and former university administrators across the country tell Raw Story.

WASHINGTON — Republican U.S. senators are shrugging off the party’s punishing defeat in Wisconsin Tuesday, with some coming to Elon Musk’s defense despite the billionaire becoming a lightning rod many credit with tilting the state supreme court race away from the GOP.

“No. He was helpful,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Raw Story the day after progressive Judge Susan Crawford beat her conservative opponent, Judge Brad Schimel, by 10%.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on Capitol Hill are laughing off — publicly, at least — the angry voters who keep storming their town hall meetings from coast to coast.

“I'm not worried about it,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) told Raw Story. “It helps that Democrats are showing their colors.”

WASHINGTON — Congress may have created the Department of Education in 1979, but don’t expect this GOP-controlled Congress to try and salvage their predecessors’ handywork.

WASHINGTON — The House developed a six-month bill that would continue funding the government and raise the debt ceiling, while making drastic cuts, but some senators aren't fans of the legislation.

And they're floating just a 30-day stopgap.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs were stumped when asked about massive staffing cuts coming for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
