Despite a court order, Trump kept using your tax dollars to run his propaganda ads. From his gold-plated ballroom, to his new DC golf course, to these illegal ads, Trump will use your tax dollars to do everything but lower your costs. He & his minions must reimburse taxpayers.

Trump blew past deadline to halt running taxpayer-funded campaign-style ads
A coalition of nonprofits had sued, calling the ads “propaganda.” The president has said campaign funds would be used to pay for the commercials going forward.

Did you know businesses with federal govt contracts aren’t allowed to spend for or against federal candidates? How then has Elon Musk, whose companies get billions in contracts, spent hundreds of millions in our elections? The answer: A giant loophole I'm working to close.

Trump's continued attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social the Somali American community, & our Muslim neighbors are a heinous attempt to distract from his complete & utter failure as president. Every American should be chilled to the bone: these are the actions of a dictatorship not a democracy.
Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home

The search appears to be the type of action that law enforcement officials typically avoided so close to an election in the past.

Trump’s destruction of parts of a DC public park in violation of a federal judge’s order cannot go unpunished. This land, like the Kennedy Center & Yosemite belongs to the people, not him. The perpetrators need to be held in contempt.

The NIH proposal to conceal reviewer scores from program officers, investigators, and advisory councils is ill-conceived, introduces disproportionate weight to small percentile differences, diminishes the role of scientific peer review, and should be withdrawn in its entirety. a 🧵

Such an important read -- already hazy in memory and too easily whitewashed, the sober recounting reminds us how deeply disordered, broken, damaging the administration has been in less than 2 years.

Once again, an independent watchdog found the Trump admin illegally withheld funds, including ~$80 million intended for the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality here in MD. Congress must re-appropriate these funds & make clear we will not tolerate these illegal cuts.
