MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again
CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.

The Texas State Comptroller reported in 2006 that the 1.4M unauthorized immigrants in TX contributed almost $18B to the gross state product and $1.58B in state revenue while costing the state about $1.16B in services used. #IRS
This was the first and the last time Texas conducted such a study. 🤔

A 2006 study found undocumented immigrants contribute more than they cost Texas. The state hasn’t updated it since.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it?
Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

A lot of people have been asking us about the rumor that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act on April 20th. We want to remind everyone to take things one day at a time and face each battle as it comes.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.
That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

The calm of an English garden in spring time. I went to Hillier Gardens yesterday to enjoy the early blooms. The cocktail of fragrances and happy birdsong was soothing for the heart. A little spot of paradise. 🌺

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
