So more ways to move money to the wealthy. Everyone pays for tariffs, while the GOP works on tax cuts that balloon the debt for our children. I’m sure that those “poor” Senators will do just fine.

If you want a taste of havoc poorly implemented computer changes can wreak, suggest Mr Bates vs Post Office — largest miscarriage of justice in UK history. Bureaucracy has a purpose - to prevent really bad stuff from happening.

USAID was became an agency in statute in 1998 and cannot be dissolved by executive order www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-p... Congress even specifically prohibited reorganizing it without consultation last year www.brookings.edu/articles/why...
Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?
Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.
The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

It’s likely that Trump will implement Project 2025’s proposals for the Justice Department that prioritize political agendas over the independence and impartiality. Such changes would pose huge risks to civil liberties and public trust in the system’s fairness.

The president’s illegal firing of the IGs will make corruption more likely. Congress makes the law not the President. We need the law making part of our government to hold the law breaking administration accountable.

Trump: "In California, millions of gallons of waters are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. I mean, they've been up for 40 years and about 20 years ago they turned off the water. And it's the water that comes from the Pacific Northwest."
