Over a million Minnesotans rely on Medicaid, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities. We need to strengthen it, not cut it to pay for $250,000 tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

Every student deserves to go through the school day without worrying about where their next meal will come from. It was great to visit Ithaca’s school nutrition team and the IHS Community Market to see firsthand how they’re tackling food insecurity, from free school meals to take-home groceries.

This push began under Musk’s leadership at DOGE. Now it’s Thiel’s turn. And make no mistake, this is about power. With a centralized, government-controlled data system, Trump gains new tools to target critics, intimidate dissenters, and go after immigrants.

The company is now in talks with the IRS and Social Security Administration to expand further. This means personal data, from tax returns to medical records, could soon be compiled in one place, under one administration, with little oversight.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

That brings you up to speed. We're back to Valentine's Day
—the day it all clicks.'
If I'm going to do this thing, I'm going to do it right. It's going to be a full-court press. I'm going to get judg involved.
There's going to be a social media campaign. Maybe a celebrity brand ambassador. Possibly an amicus curiae brief.
Definitely some screaming into the digital void. I'm going to be an influencer.
Because here's the thing:
I didn't go to Harvard Law School to watch some former classmate tear apart the federal government while his boss
stays anonymous.
I didn't become a legal journalist just to politely nod while Justice Department attorneys who owe an ethical duty of candor to the court basically shrug and tell federal judges that they don't know who's in charge of the entity they're defending.
And I definitely didn't spend years of my life reporting on the myriad alleged crimes of Donald J. Trump just to sit back and watch him run roughshod over the United States Constitution.
So Happy Valentine's Day from the Southern District of New York. I don't need flowers. Bet I don't need chocolate.
I need an answer:
WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DOGE?

Everyone, regardless of immigration status, is entitled to due process. Deporting people in defiance of court orders is not a mistake. It’s a pattern. This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last unless we stop it.

Now they’re claiming the process had “already started” and blame a “confluence of administrative errors.” That excuse doesn’t hold water, not when a person’s rights and future are on the line.

The Trump administration is deporting people in direct violation of court orders, and calling it an “administrative error.” That’s not just unacceptable. It’s unconstitutional.

Aside from everything else that's awful about her/this: The "1.4 million illegals" she's referring to (undocumented immigrants, actually) are LEGALLY enrolled in Medicaid in states which have CHOSEN to pay 100% of the cost of doing so themselves. Federal dollars aren't paying for any of them.

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities. People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured. Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.
