Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Gomez: They got a simple plan defund, defraud, and lie. They're gonna defund Social Security, Medicaid, education, anything that helps the man and woman who's trying to get by to put food on the table or to pay rent. And then they're going to lie about it.

When the world loses confidence in the dollar, it will move on as quickly as the felon in chief did to destroy it. They do not have to put up with this nonsense and will move right on without us. Fat chance the U.S. will ever be in a position of leadership again. Impeach these people already.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Repeat after me - there is no plan. The entire global economy hangs on the whims of one guy. Also, Howard Lutnick promised me all those millions of jobs screwing tiny screws into iPhones were coming back to the United States.

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

Indiana Republicans are advancing a ban on using student IDs for voting. The move would make it even harder for young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout. boltsmag.org/indiana...

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

The Trump admin is gutting cutting-edge climate + health research. I spoke with a scientist who lost funding for a 3-year, $4.2 million center to study climate change and the progression of Alzheimer's. It's just one of ~20 centers like it now at risk: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

An Idaho teacher was told by her principal to take down an "Everyone is Welcome Here" poster in her classroom. It's a symptom of President Trump's crackdown on discussions of inclusivity in schools.
