Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

As America’s largest transportation labor federation, we advocate for the strongest possible protections for passenger & commuter rail workers who face risk of violence on the job. We thank Senator Tammy Duckworth & Senator John Hoeven for introducing the Passenger Rail Crew Protection Act.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Trump is letting Mississippi get away with a massive welfare scandal that channeled money to Brett Favre and others.
The state was supposed to pay $100 million for allowing embezzlement from a federal program for needy families.
