Judge orders Trump administration to β€˜stop violating the law!’ and publish spending details WASHINGTON β€” A federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to once again publish details about the pace at which it plans to spend money approved by Congress.U.S. District Court for the D...

A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending.

Why’d they yank it?
Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating β€œsavings” that didn’t exist.

Transparency isn’t optional.

Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United.

Sen Patty Murray just confirmed it: Republicans blocked her amendment to remove the provision that would defund Planned Parenthood.
She’s calling it what it isβ€”a backdoor national abortion ban. Extreme, dangerous, and wrong.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate

Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Metaphorically, who knows? Something better just has to be around that bend!

In life, it’s a beautiful little neighborhood road that winds its way down to a duck pond.

US marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles – live Marcos Leao, a 27-year-old army veteran, told reporters after he was released that the marines who detained him were β€˜just doing their job’

The Marines detained an American citizen, a civilian, in Los Angeles 🀬🀬🀬

The man has been released but this proves the military follows Trump’s orders and is not properly trained for dealing with civilians on American soil.

Everyone should be outraged!

FACT: Trump has fired more veterans than any President in our country's history, so spending taxpayer money on a military parade in his honor is a complete disgrace.
