WEX MIN: Activist occupy McCarthy’s office, NM gun ban, CA reparations are not popular #shorts

A group of activists broke into House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) office to protest.

A New Mexico sheriff is refusing to enforce an "unconstitutional" gun ban and is calling a special legislative session to oppose the governor's 30-day executive order blocking open and concealed carrying of firearms. Democratic Gov. Michelle Grisham ordered to impose penalties on anyone lawfully carrying a firearm in Albuquerque, in response to what she called an epidemic of gun violence. In response people gathered in Albuquerque to openly defy the Governor's order.

A recent study found that 59% of voters oppose cash payments to some black residents. Experts have said black residents could receive millions in reparations.
