Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

@kenwhite.bsky.social looks like one of the judges from the 9th circuit panel in the afge litigation is calling for en banc rehearing. Isn't this usually something that comes from the parties rather than from the original panel?? www.govexec.com/workforce/20...
Appeals court will reconsider decision to allow Trump’s anti-union order to take effect
The announcement comes as the Trump administration has seemingly reneged on promises to hold off on fully implementing the edict until lawsuits seeking to block the order are complete.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.
Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.
She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

A true democracy would hold Trump accountable for the mass scale corruption - the crypto coin, the insider trading, the Musk self dealing etc.
