As news out of the FBI continues to unfold in the coming hours, a point to keep in mind:

In Team Trump's first week, the focus was on pardoning criminals, including violent felons. In the second week, the focus is on ousting law enforcement. #lawandorder

The GOP’s leaked plan for $2.5T in spending cuts would likely target SNAP and children’s nutrition programs, harming millions—kids, seniors, and veterans—so that billionaires can get more tax breaks. We need to call this out and stop it.

Elon Musk is suing Media Matters for America for publishing a report that showed that ads were next to neo Nazi content on the platform. This story has it all: Musk, free speech, anti-Naziism. It’s mind boggling to me that it gets no attention.

Trump is proposing a massive detention camp at Guantanamo. Where people will be held indefinitely.

Sounds familiar.

Let your members of Congress know they can't give one cent to funding it.

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age.

If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization.

Please let me know if yours has.

What a lie. Here's the Supreme Court in 2012 making clear that simply being in the country without permission is NOT a crime: "As a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States."

It's a civil violation, not a crime.
