NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

NEW: Both Pro-Life Wisconsin and Planned Parenthood have registered in support of a bill to expand Medicaid coverage for new low-income moms.
Despite the bipartisan unity, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says, “We already have enough welfare in Wisconsin.”

Ok all you folks who were born after 1975 (and those of you who don’t remember), it is time to read about the Tonkin Gulf incident because I suspect we are about to witness a repeat. How else will we be able to justify an attack on Venezuela.

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

I’m shocked the guy who hired undocumented immigrants (Polish laborers) w/no safety equipment and paid them $4 an hour in 1980 (then stiffed them) to tear down Bonwit Teller (including art deco friezes promised to the MET) is demolishing the East Wing of White House w/bad intent.

Dismissed them as “manufactured outrage”
And kept demolishing the East Wing on Tuesday

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death
He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.
Then ICE arrested him.
If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
