Due to a new GOP-backed law, Tennessee is revoking driver’s licenses for immigrant residents who have LEGAL STATUS to be in the U.S. People are just trying to get to work and provide for their families. GOP is sabotaging our economy b/c they want to torment immigrants. 🎥 @attorneymartinez

This is the plan and we all need to be ready for it I would only add this: SCOTUS will defend them at every turn and declare the coup is legal
Here's what's going to happen. Trump loses the midterms. He declares massive voting fraud calls supporters to attack immediately. Go puses to accept results FBI seizes ballots and voting machines within days. Results stall for weeks, Republican officials cancel results in lost districts. What are new votes? Protests are up troops deploy under the insurrection act, January. Third, Congress refuses to seat the Democrats. This isn't a prediction. It's a pattern they've already done each of these things.

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Trump never had a strategy for his war on Iran. He went from "4 weeks" to "the war is won" to "after the midterms." Working families are drowning under the economic strain while he escalates—sending 10,000 more Americans into harm's way.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.
(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
