I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Truth About Trump’s Proposed Cash-for-Kids Savings Scheme A new proposal for child investment accounts sounds progressiveβ€”but its biggest beneficiaries would be families that can already afford to save.

Donald Trump’s new proposal for child investment accounts is a β€œreverse-Robin Hood” provision, @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes. Its biggest beneficiaries would be families that can already afford to save.

Trump says that any American who shows β€œdissension” against MAGA should be β€œimmediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls.

This is fascism.

I encourage you to call your Congressfolk this morning, especially if they're Republicans. Stop by their local office at lunch if you can. They will feel this pressure. Make it agony for them.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffsβ€”that’s a choice.

The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.

Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.

We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.

The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.
