Today I learned that a graduate student at the University of Minnesota was abducted by ICE yesterday. We need a rapid response from leaders at all levels on what we can do to protect everyone in our community. I will keep working on this issue and update as I learn more.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.
A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!

Supported by billionaires like Musk, President Trump has laid the groundwork for the biggest heist in American history—the rapid destruction of Social Security, disguised as “reform.”
Because how dare Americans ask the morbidly rich to help support the middle class!

Trump and Musk’s Plan to Destroy Social Security Started Tuesday Night
It starts with cutting staff at the Social Security Administration. That will sow confusion. Then it builds from there.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Call your Reps & Senators on Tuesday. Tell them your views on the President acting lawlessly to thwart appropriations passed by Congress.
Call them: 202-224-3121
Call them: 202-224-3121
Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.
Breaking news: President Donald Trump has decided to pause all future deliveries of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine in an extraordinary move aimed at pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the negotiating table with Russia.

2. Trump doesn't really want to be President in the sense of running the US, but he does want two things above all else:
a. to stay out of prison--prison was a very real possibility for him, had Harris/Walz been elected
b. to get revenge on those he perceives as having wronged him 2016-24
