Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons. This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal

President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs. In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities. This isn’t just a budget cut—it’s a threat to our safety.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free. - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks. - All workers get pensions.

These dedicated civil servants are damn good at what they do & our communities are better served by having them on the job. This sends a powerful message to Musk & Trump that we will not back down & we'll keep pushing until every federal worker can continue their essential work.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.
