Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

I get why people are upset about SCOTUS putting a temp freeze on SNAP funding. But Justice Ketanji Brown’s move is more strategic than it sounds—she said the 1st Circuit Court should rule first. Trump skipped that step and went straight to SCOTUS. See article for full context….1
