Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

Just try to imagine the public outcry and wall-to-wall media coverage if President Biden had cancelled $8 billion in funding to red states.

I missed this yesterday but Geogetown Law's Center on Poverty and Inequality did a very nice visualization of the impact of the OBBB act on state governments. As with Medicaid, the GOP foisted a lot of costs onto states to pay for their tax cuts. www.georgetownpoverty.org/issues/snap-...

Portland is clearly a test run—your blue state is next. Any non-compliance with the demands of the fascist regime upon your local/state governments will be deemed Rebellion and will lead to federal troops being deployed to suppress you and your rights. So do not expect a free and fair 2026 election.

Portland sees the steepest DROP in homicides in major cities and Trump wants to send troops to do what exactly? More performative nonsense wasting taxpayer dollars from a weak dictator.

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

The Trump and House R budgets would both take a chainsaw to K-12 funding—$35 million and $41 million per congressional district, respectively. Cuts fall heaviest on rural schools and those in low-income and majority-of-color congressional districts. See how much your CD would lose in school funding:

Anyway, 72 percent of Americans support universal background checks and 76 percent support extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs). Maybe Congress should take those things up
