Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.
Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.
Never delivered one.
Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.
Now Russ Vought is taking that away.
But only in blue states.
NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under todayโs deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."
