The Trump admin is turning the Small Business Administration into the Big Business Administration. This rule would decimate opportunities for actual small businesses by opening the door to federal resources for billion dollar companies. This admin must end its war on Main Street.

Kelly Loeffler
@SBA_Kelly
President Trump’s America First economic agenda has unleashed record growth and new business formation on Main Street. Today, the SBA is proposing a comprehensive overhaul of its small business size standards to dramatically simplify industry categorization and raise applicable size thresholds.

The new rules would reward, rather than punish, success – allowing rapidly growing firms to continue qualifying as small businesses with access to SBA programs and support.

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

Tarrant County considers cutting 140 Election Day polling sites for November
County commissioners vote Aug. 4 on proposed reductions to the number of early voting and day-of sites for the midterms.

For more than 30 years, a federal court order has required the prompt release of children in immigration detention. Courts have interpreted that to mean no more than 20 days. The Trump Administration is not only violating that court order, but they are fighting in court to end it entirely.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social IMHO Congress will kill DOJ fund because of the Spouse Effect: spouses of the GOP senators and reps will be very angry at the idea of giving $1M to each of the people who attacked the Capital on 1/6, and that as a result next time Trump calls on them 10X more would come.
