Today in @motherjones.com, my year-long investigation into how the Trump administration pulled over $200 million from the non-profits that provide legal aid to migrants. The ensuing scramble sent several organizations reeling, while others remained steadfast: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.com

First Trump came for immigrants. Then he came for their lawyers.

How legal aid groups survived the administration's attacks—barely.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.
