NINE THOUSAND people who work for the FBI — either two thirds of their agents or one quarter of their entire staff — have been diverted to doing at least some immigration enforcement by the Trump administration.

Trump’s destructive immigration policies could cost the U.S. up to $479 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Add in his massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and now the national debt has surpassed 100% of GDP. Complete fiscal negligence.
Experts estimate that the IRS stands to lose up to $479 billion over the next decade as immigrants face deportation and disengage from the formal economy. https://wapo.st/4vvl1pj

The share of Americans who say their financial situation is getting worse (55%) is higher now than at any point in the past 25 years.

We stand on the shoulders of the workers who fought for our rights. Today, we celebrate the bravery of those who stood up to ensure dignity for every person on the job.

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion.
His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history.

The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher before the Iran war.

As the Iran war enters its third month, consumers are paying for its disruption of worldwide energy production.
It’s been 60 days since Trump started this war against Iran. But this war should've never should’ve happened, and it needs to end. Now.
Under the War Powers Act, this administration is now required withdraw our troops or make their case and seek Congressional authorization.
House Republicans just caved after the longest shutdown ever. They blocked funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service for over two months, then backed down after getting nothing. Making us less safe while they make life more expensive—an awful way to govern.
Leaded gas has been gone from cars for decades, but not planes.
Rep. Jay Obernolte and I introduced the UNLEADED Act to ensure pilots, instructors, and aviation professionals have the tools they need to help general aviation transition away from leaded fuel.
More on our UNLEADED Act here:

Since Trump decided to attack Iran, people have paid $16 billion more in gas.
That’s $267 million a day.
Or the price of 19 new private jets. Every day.

Today, Trump's right-wing Supreme Court has moved to erode the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchise millions of voters.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
Today's Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act is yet another Republican attempt to hold onto power, suppress voters and erode America's democracy.
This fight isn't over. Democrats will not let Republicans turn back the clock and undo our country's progress.
This ruling is appalling, but we are not powerless in the face of it. Congress should respond by banning gerrymandering nationally.
This nakedly partisan opinion from the Court's conservative majority is yet another compelling reason to reform the Court.
3/3
Their decision today will pave the way for Republican leaders in southern states to disenfranchise Black voters at the federal level but also in state legislatures and local governments. Another desperate attempt to hold onto power.

This right wing Supreme Court has long been hellbent on killing the Voting Rights Act, one of the core achievements of the Civil Rights Movement.

Hegseth gutted the team meant to prevent civilian death. One of the first strikes in this war hit an elementary school. And President Trump continues to threaten Iranian civilians and infrastructure.
This administration isn’t minimizing civilian harm.
For many species, the Endangered Species Act is the difference between extinction and survival.
Last week, House Republicans chose Earth Day to try to gut it, but they didn’t have the votes.
This is a win for wildlife, but it’s not the end of our fight!
This is just horrid and cruel. After racing to hand out massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, the Trump administration is now looking to punish disabled Americans for relying on family support.
