Stuck in a long security line at the airport?

Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ bill to fund DHS agencies that don’t conduct immigration enforcement, like TSA.

Remember this. www.cnn.com/us/live-news/tsa-staff-s...

Lots of documented evidence proves immigrants, including those undocumented, are significant contributers to the US economy and other institutions. They do the hard dirty jobs to produce American food. In 2022, they paid $96.7 billion in taxes. They hold $299 billion in spending power... ETC!

While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Hello?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department.

But there’s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...
