This is self-destructive behavior that needs a goddamned intervention: Trump wants to get rid of the CHIPS Act, which will lead to thousands of jobs in the US in places like Ohio, Texas, and Indiana, just because it was signed into law by Biden. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/t...

Census population counts determine the apportionment of Congressional seats, and in turn, Electoral College votes. The lawsuit claims that states like Texas and California, which have large immigrant communities, are overrepresented in Congress because noncitizens are included in population counts.

NEW: Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio and West Virginia sue to exclude large categories of immigrants from the census count and add a citizenship question to the 2030 census. This would be a radical departure from how the U.S. population has been counted in past censuses.

Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges and makes drinking water safer.

It’s interesting to see FFOTUS exposed to actual Christianity.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Dark money groups spent over $400 million to capture and control the court. Those extremist judges are now attacking:

✔️Reproductive Rights
✔️Voting Rights
✔️Climate Change
✔️Healthcare
✔️Gun Violence Prevention

And they are not done.

Voting in all elections is how we change this.

I beg DC reporters to listen to this. I've seen up close how easy it is for the Beltway press to fall into the "it's all a big game" mentality. But these things pols do help and hurt actual people. Don't forget about them.
First: Stay focused on the real people being harmed by Trump’s policies. It’s easy for DC politicians to exist in a bubble, but Washington should stay focused on the actual effects of Trump’s policies and Democrats should focus on how we can mitigate the damage.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde had the courage to speak truth directly to Trump and Vance.

This is a rare moment where no rebuttal or interruption could occur. No distractions, complete silence except her words.

Obama was right. The floodgates opened to special interest groups, silencing the people.

It's time to choose: do we want a government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Or do we want an oligarchy where billionaires call the shots?

Your vote matters. Use it.
