JUST IN: US appeals court rejects Trump bid to swiftly deport migrants to third countries reut.rs/431Hazh

Trump & Musk tried to punish federal employees to make room for billionaire tax breaks. We stood strong with federal workers to fight hard for this win.

What happened at DCA was horrific. Politicians from the president on down need to be focused on the victims and the rescue personnel .
No one should shoot from the hip about causes as the Transportation Safety Board conducts its fact based review.
