Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?

I'm writing to the White House β€” the public has a right to know.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs.

These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading. 🧡

White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education The planned order follows years of campaign promises from President Donald Trump to abolish the department β€” something he cannot do without Congress' approval.

BREAKING

The White House is preparing an executive order to abolish the Department of Education.

Fascism, full speed ahead.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Navy graphic with text "The Constitution is clear: Politicians don't get to decide who in our country is worthy of citizenship." Above the text is a side profile of Donald Trump and a photo of people looking up at the U.S. Capitol. A white ACLU logo is in the bottom left.

We’re suing President Trump over his executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship.

People born in the U.S. are citizens.

Trump officials issue quotas to ICE officers to ramp up arrests The administration wants to increase the number of arrests from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, increasing the chances that non-criminals will be detained.

Senior ICE officials have been ordered by Trump officials to β€œaggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500” b/c Trump is β€œdisappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign so far.”

Supreme Court to hear church-state fight over bid to launch first publicly funded religious charter school An attempt to authorize the Catholic school was challenged as a violation of the First Amendment, which limits government involvement in religion.

This is it. The next earthquake.
The next Dobbs.

Fully funded public religious schools.

Is it possible the magnitude of what was coming was suppressed prior to the election? Yep.

On what should have been the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I remain deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court turned the clocks back and criminalized health care for women. Women have and will continue to die because of abortion restrictions – it’s a terrifying reality.
