Congress appropriated the money for transportation projects. If Congress wanted to tie it to immigration for some reason they could have, but they didn’t. A Transportation Secretary is not Congress.

The point that @ericswalwell.bsky.social is making is that President Trump knowingly shared faked "evidence" to try to convince the American people that Abrego García doesn't 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 due process. Don't fall for it - we're all legally 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱 to due process per the Constitution. The MS13 is fake.

The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush says that while Attorney General Pam Bondi offered her personal sympathy to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro over the arson attack, she refuses to label the incident as domestic terrorism—even though she labels attacks on Tesla property as domestic terrorism.

The biggest problem with them purchasing these vehicles is the lack of charging stations and EV infrastructure in their small towns. The irony is that the legislation for the expansion of the electrical grid was cut by Trump.

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1927...

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Kids: Sources
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.

Judge orders urgent release of DOGE records, citing ‘unprecedented’ power and ‘unusual secrecy’
It’s the first significant ruling in a growing legal push to pierce DOGE’s secretive veil, a decision that undercuts Musk’s repeated insistence about the operation’s transparency.

Remember: Musk is a coward at heart. A weak man, not a strong one. A fragile ego just like the guy he shares an office with.

Trump talks about loving veterans (left). Then fucks them over. 80000 jobs to be cut at the VA. He is a treasonous disgrace. apnews.com/article/vete...
"OUR VETERANS HAVE DELIVERED FOR THIS NATION AND NOW WE MUST DELIVER FOR THEM" 

TRUMPAP headline: 

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo

A former HS friend is a MAGA veteran. He works at the VA. He posted on FB two days ago that he’ll be upset if he loses his job but ‘if that’s what needs to happen to get this country back on the right track then he’s willing to make that sacrifice.’ He’s fine w/all the cuts. They’re in a cult.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Billionaires have gotten $3.8 TRILLION richer since the Trump tax scam, and many pay a lower tax rate than working families. They don't need more tax breaks! BUT Trump has ensured that they can continue to rig the system for themselves.
