That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only just using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise.

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:β€œFor this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness.

My dad flew transport in the Solomon Islands campaign, including Guadalcanal. He said, they took supplies in and brought the injured out. One sentence. I learned a couple years ago that the supplies were usually huge tanks of gasoline. A life-long Republican whose service is disrespected daily.

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.

Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsβ€”and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.

Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn’t own the planes. The planes also don’t have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.

A spokesperson for Spirit didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski were going to buy 10 jets without engines from Spririt Airlines that Spirit didn't own.

Trump said he’d be β€œhonored” to release SNAP funds with guidance from the courts.

Today, he got that guidance from Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island, FOR THE SECOND TIME.

And he immediately appealed.

BREAKING:

A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits.

Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November β€” by tomorrow.
