It's $162 million stolen from New Jersey.
The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday.
They've stolen $80M from Wisconsin students and teachers alone. How much have they stolen from your state?

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

A black box “automatic citizenship checker,” brought to you by the guys who deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia “by accident.”
So it’s a black box that an “official” types your name into when you go to vote, and if DOGE’s box says you’re not a citizen, then you’re not a citizen. Bye.
Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration records— without public notice & comment.
