Yes, American taxpayers, all of us, will be paying tens of millions of dollars to upgrade this private plane to allow it to be Air Force One. This too is a direct gift to Trump and his family from all of us.

FACT CHECK: Donald made more money pretending to be a successful businessman on "The Apprentice" than he ever made being a businessman. FACT CHECK: He's made more money pretending to be a selfless public servant than he ever made being a businessman. He only does ANYTHING for his own benefit.

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

The Trump administration was ordered to stop cutting research grant funding, but records from a whistleblower appear to show they haven't been complying with this order. Court orders aren't optional. This is a dangerous direction for the country.

Shortly after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, to be held on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

Hopefully this data can be used to identify any additional people deported to El Salvador on March 15 whose identities are still unknown. Their family and loved ones have a right to know where they are and what happened to them; knowledge which Trump administration has so far denied them.
