Gov't Will Officially Label Many Black Folks as Terrorists Under New Trump Directive The U.S. Government used its resources to target civil rights leaders and organizations throughout the 20th century. Trump's latest move might see it happen again.

It will be real interesting when they start arresting Neo Nazis and the KKK.
Oh wait.
You mean they won't actually be arresting domestic terrorists?

We wanted to draw attention to an issue affecting Menomonie, Wisconsin. A proposed $1.6 billion data center on 320 acres of farmland (located between 650th and 690th Avenue) has drawn strong opposition. The City Council quickly annexed and rezoned the land to โ€œRestricted Industrial,โ€

US appeals court says Trump cannot continue foreign aid cuts A U.S. appeals court on Friday declined to block a lower court ruling that said President Donald Trump's administration could not unilaterally cut billions of dollars of foreign aid, requiring the administration to quickly move to spend funds on projects authorized by Congress.

A win! The federal appeals court chose not to step in, leaving in place a lower courtโ€™s directive that the Trump administration must continue making billions in foreign aid accessible.
