President Trump and Republicans’ massive tax legislation would force the government to undo billions of dollars in electric vehicle investments made by the U.S. Postal Service. This would mean auctioning off nearly 7,200 brand-new postal EVs.

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t — LA Public Press
When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits.
Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.
SEC. l203. RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT.
No court of the United States may issue a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order against the Federal Government (other than a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order issued in a case proceeding under title 11, United States Code) if no security is given, in an amount proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by the Federal Government, when the injunction or order is issued pursuant to rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure after the date of enactment of this Act. No court may consider any factor other than the value of the costs and damages sustained when making
its determination of the proper value of such security, and that determination shall be appealable upon issuance of the preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order under an abuse of discretion standard.
