Politicians in the District of Columbia are infuriated over several provisions of the budget bill, including one that would ban federal and local funding for abortion. On Monday, Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and members of the D.C. Council were arrested at a protest rally on Capitol Hill.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray: “I’m like Fannie Lou Hamer at this stage: I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I hope you are sick and tired. Are you sick and tired? I am tired of being a pawn in a political game. You know, last time I looked, we pay our taxes just like anybody else does, $3.6 billion in federal taxes.”
