The Trump administration has been, in the eyes of anti-abortion activists, dragging its feet on restricting the abortion pill since early 2025, seemingly concerned about the electoral implications. But now, in a court document, its laid out its plan.

I'm running to secure the American Dream by saving Texas schools and putting money in your pocket. Greg Abbott is running to help his megadonors get richer.

today, the fuel clock for diesel hit $50 billion- businesses and consumers have since March spent $50 billion more on diesel compared to the same time last year. adding gasoline's $78.46 billion, the tally is $128.6 billion more spent on fuel vs a year ago.

Identity Crisis - The American Prospect
Citizen access to public agencies is a basic public function. Why does government contract out the process of verifying identity to a for-profit monopoly company?

Treachery and sabotage. Trump absolutely cannot keep us safe. He doesn't even care to. He is actively depleting our defenses and leaving us vulnerable. He should resign or be removed

Nichols has this right. Trump should resign, and failing that, it should be the easiest call for our politicians to impeach and remove him. He didn't deserve the second chance. He's already a massive failure. He can't do the job, can't keep us safe. Every day he weakens us more. Trump needs to go

In Dec 2018, Trump literally said he was proud to shut down the government, and then he did so, with both houses controlled by Rs as well. He is completely unable to oversee a government that serves the American people or just do the basics to keep us safe. And now he's endangering us again

There is a lot of focus on motive because the Trump administration is shockingly petty, vindictive, and malicious. But apart from that, they simply can't do the basic job, whatever the excuse. They can't handle even minimal services, and they can't keep us safe

It only becomes more clear Trump and his administration can't keep us safe. Beyond the outrageous pardons of violent criminals and a mass drug dealer, he has shut down health research and will oppose disaster relief by FEMA. International relations are tanking too. Only 2.5 days so far!

A victory for the government in this case would greenlight long-term mass civil detention at a level not seen since Japanese internment during WWII. It would represent the largest change in how the US treats immigrants facing removal since 1996, and remind us again that the 96 law must be erased.
