Here is one of ~50 cases we documented of federal agents--usually masked and unidentified--smashing car windows to grab the person inside.
“She is pregnant!” a man screamed, as his citizen wife sat, terrified
The agents break three windows and grab the man

Didn't Trump cite Canadian fentanyl as the emergency to impose tariffs? Seems like someone suing to block his tariffs might want to include the fact that he's cancelling funds to fight fentanyl as a counterargument to it being an "emergency."
Donald Trump says he wants to keep Americans safe from fentanyl.
Yet, he's once again putting lives at stake as he slashes and burns the very programs actually lowering overdose death rates and implementing recovery and health programs.

Trump does not know how to make “deals”. He knows how to dictate terms. Not the same thing. That’s why I was annoyed when I saw this headline in the @nytimes.com on Thursday. It’s again adopting Trump’s misuse of language. When there’s a “deal,” both sides confirm. “Trump says” is not a deal.
