Instead of lowering costs for Americans, Trump and Vought want to make it easier for giant corporations to scam families out of their money.

💥Trump promised over 40 times during his campaign to end Russia’s war against Ukraine in ONE DAY if he was installed as President or even BEFORE then. Did it happen yesterday? I can keep asking this every day until Trump leaves… and I’m positive I’ll HAVE to.😏

More from today's ruling on Trump's DOJ...
![It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and
typographical errors. Indeed, even attorneys employed by the Texas Attorney General—who
professes to be a political ally of the Trump Administration54—describe the DOJ Letter as
“legally[] unsound,”55 “baseless,”56 “erroneous,”57 “ham-fisted,”58 and “a mess.”59
The gist of the letter, though, is that DOJ is urging Texas to change the racial compositions
of CDs 9, 18, 29, and 33. From the premise that Petteway forbids a plaintiff from proposing a
coalition district for purposes of an effects-based vote-dilution claim under VRA § 2,
60 DOJ leaps
to the conclusion that whenever a legislature enacts a map that happens to contain one or more
coalition districts, that legislature has necessarily and unconstitutionally engaged](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7vj2towokzui3hgna5u5u46f/bafkreifmj4c5xq7wh5gac236547ibkyiydgoypfh4iks23n7wf43wjughu@jpeg)

This is terrifying
Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.
ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.
If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?
