Just this year, China banned the import of Argentinian beef because it contained a dangerous antibiotic banned in beef intended for human consumption since 1995. Trump is still importing Argentinian beef to make beef prices go down. He doesn’t care about *your* health, only *his* poll numbers.

In 2018, President Trump stood in the Oval Office and said that people seeking asylum should “do it the legal way” by coming here without crossing a border illegally. Now his admin is set to punish people who did exactly that; came on a visa and then applied for asylum.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.

U.S. preparing for mass visa revocation targeting up to 200,000 people, officials say
B1 visas are generally issued for business trips, while B2 visas for tourism, family visits or medical care. The move would likely face legal challenges.

The Trump administration is preparing to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourist visas from people who have applied for or are seeking asylum in the U.S. If carried out, it would reportedly be the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history and is expected to face legal challenges.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

There's no standing for states to sue over that EO yet because it's just the president of the United States officially proclaiming his order to illegally interference in state elections, and you have to wait and see how and if agencies actually follow what he said first, is pants-on-head lunacy.

When the Indiana Senate refused to do mid-decade gerrymandering, Trump posted about it nonstop & got directly involved in taking out the senators who voted against it. But when thousands of people in IN have been without power for 2 weeks, Trump posted nothing and doesn’t care.

We could have done Bessent’s economic secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Iran without the war. The Trump admin is only turning to this because the war was a costly failure, regime change didn’t happen, peace talks and threats failed, so it’s on to another plan.
