ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.
Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.
That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.
Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint.
But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities.
Priorities.
In the middle of the night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE billions to continue the President’s mass deportation campaign.
When families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, & more, Senate Republicans proved they care more about President Trump’s wishes than the needs of Americans.
Everyone in the media knows that if they openly brag about it, that means it's not a crime anymore.
Has to be a secret to be a scandal!
Congressional Republicans made the largest cut to SNAP in history last year.
Senate Democrats just gave them another chance to reverse this terrible decision as Americans face rising grocery prices.
But Senate Republicans voted it down and refused to help Americans put food on the table.
School should be a place for learning, not a place where students are hungry. But Senate Republicans just voted against funding school lunches.
Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.
HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
Breaking news: The Trump administration’s fundraising arrangement for the White House ballroom project shields donor identities and excludes the White House from conflict of interest requirements, according to records obtained by The Post.
Last year, the flu vaccine saved 12,000 lives and prevented over 100,000 hospitalizations according to the CDC.
The Trump admin and Sen. Mike Lee are conspiring to destroy public lands for short term profit. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.
Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.
Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?
Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.
Tweet from Margo Martin, White House comms team with a photo: Text reads "Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis!" In the photo, six men are front and center, including Trump in the center on a stand to be taller (all wearing Trump red ties), hiding the women barely visible in the back.
Trump and disappearing women.
There's been some attention to this awful White House photo congratulating the Georgia Women's Tennis team but centering men.
Minimizing women is core Trump/MAGA. On Tues, Trump referred to US military deaths from his Iran War "We lost 13 men." Three of them were women.
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Here’s yet another example of TN being the testing ground for ugly GOP initiatives, coming soon to a red state near you.

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
I’ve long assumed that Samuel Alito was the worst Supreme Court Justice in recent history. But I’ve come to revise my view in light of recent comments made by one judge in particular. Let me explain... robertreich.substack.com/p/the-worst-justice-in-m...
WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
Don’t forget that Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization in Iran.
Congress has tools to rein in this president.
But nothing will happen until Republicans grow a spine and work with Democrats to stand up to him.
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
Wage growth is slowing. Inflation is on the rise. Consumer sentiment has hit a record low. Millions are struggling to make ends meet.
But corporate profits have skyrocketed despite massive layoffs and the stock market is up.
New "golden age" for who exactly?
"Some of the legislation which is great that you've been talking about—there is 0 chance that that'll be signed into law by President Trump, period, full stop. And that's the reason, that's another reason why we have to put the horse before the cart, and the horse is getting rid of him."

Joe DiGenova, whose wife once solicited payments from foreigners to lie about Joe Biden in 2019, just got sworn in to investigate things those things he lied about in the past.
Over the weekend I laid out why this is so problematic.
