I would also like to know where this money is coming from. Is there congressional authority for this spending?
If the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador, then there must be a contract, which should be public.
If there's not a contract, well, that's a problem.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

Dems. Hold the line. Do not vote to fund DOGE (the government). Make the GOP fund the government or let them shut it down. They’re the majority.
All of these Republican congressmen who said in these past posts that they will never vote for another CR will vote for another CR on Tuesday.

Biden really played the long game by diligently cleaning up the mess Trump left him, but rigging things so that the economy got bad as soon as Trump returned to office. For a sleepy guy, he's sure been pulling a lot of strings!
