👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID
1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.
2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

POTUS spent approximately $17M in taxpayer dollars to attend the SuperBowl. Where’s DOGE on this waste?
Meanwhile, a dozen eggs at my local grocery is going for $7.49 because bird flu is still spreading. CDC and NIH are facing massive funding cuts.

Trump’s Super Bowl interview was another display of authoritarian rhetoric, evasive answers, and self-aggrandizement, with a pro-Trump buffoon leading the discussion. His blackshirt politics are no longer subtle, just a blatant attempt to reshape democracy in his image.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Rural and tribal communities rely on Medicaid to access basic health care. Cutting it would worsen health disparities in already underfunded tribal health systems. We must protect Medicaid.
