With Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it bears remembering that he once told us that the MAGA January 6 insurrectionists were ANTIFA.

Feds Send Billions to States for Highways. Locals Want a Bigger Share. Cities and counties are asking Congress to include more direct funding for local projects in the next transportation bill. States are fighting to protect existing formulas.

"We really want to fund those projects that are important for the nation, for our economy...and we don’t want to see distracting social-justice requirements"

This is the future we're in for: anti-woke infrastructure spending. It looks a lot like the past.

Trump seeks to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook President Trump says he's firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, after a Trump ally accused Cook of making false statements on a mortgage application. The president's authority to remove a Fed governor may be challenged in court.

JUST IN: President Trump says he's firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, after a Trump ally accused Cook of making false statements on a mortgage application. The president's authority to remove a Fed governor may be challenged in court.

Trump Says He Is Firing Lisa Cook From Fed Board of Governors “I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,” Mr. Trump said in a letter. Her dismissal threatened to touch off a landmark legal battle over the Fed’s independence.

President Trump said he was removing Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's board of governors, an extraordinary step that could undermine the central bank's independence and seeks to oust the first Black woman to serve on the board. Legally, a president may only dismiss a governor “for cause.”

Mississippians to Protest Trump in 7 Cities Saturday Mississippians in seven cities are holding protests against the Trump administration’s policies on June 14, building on the 50501 movement’s success.

"I saw that there wasn’t organizing going on in Mississippi, and I wanted to help stop that gap because I didn’t want Mississippi left behind in this movement just for lack of organizing,” says April Rowland, who is now leading protests against the Trump administration in Jackson.
