Vice President JD Vance’s task force on fraud claims to be focused on “finding the fraudsters who are robbing hard-working Americans.” The call is coming from inside the (White) House, JD.

Vance holds first meeting of a new anti-fraud task force targeting benefit programs

Vice President JD Vance has held the inaugural meeting of a new anti-fraud task force he’s leading as the Trump administration seeks to show it’s cracking down on potential misuse of social programs.

Trump started this war in Iran without considering the cost or consequences. Gas prices are already skyrocketing and soon, this war will drive up the price of food. Trump needs to end this war now.

The war in Iran sparks a global fertilizer shortage and threatens food prices

Farmers around the world are facing fertilizer shortages and rising costs after the war in Iran disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a third of global fertilizer trade.

To acting head of ICE Todd Lyons and any other Trump official struggling under the weight of carrying out the President’s harmful agenda, I offer you a simple solution: resign.

‘Visibly upset and struggling’: Acting ICE head hospitalized twice over stress, officials say

Several current and former officials blame intense pressure from the White House.

Trump is failing so badly at making deals (see: Iran, DHS funding, Ukraine, tariff negotiations, etc…) that he’s turned to making up elaborate fantasies.

Trump imagines negotiation with Sharpie maker for $5 signature pens

Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens. The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

President Trump called the skyrocketing price of gas due to his war in Iran “a small price to pay” – but try telling that to Americans who are having to cut back on things like groceries just to pay for gas to get to work. Trump is so out of touch.

Fuel vs food: These Americans are cutting back to afford higher gas prices | CNN Business

For Sarah Lawhun, the soaring price of gas means she’s eating one less meal a day.

The American people don’t want Trump’s war in Iran. Congress should vote NO on any defense supplemental for this reckless war.

Poll shows most Americans feel war against Iran has gone too far

While President Donald Trump's approval rating is holding steady, the conflict could be swiftly turning into a major political liability for his Republican administration.

The farmworkers' movement was never just about one man. Today, we honor the workers, families, organizers, and survivors whose labor feeds our nation and who will continue to lead the fight for fair working conditions and civil rights.

You cannot be pro-life or pro-family and support what’s happening at Dilley. This is state-sanctioned child abuse. We need to shut down Dilley.

Wormy food, intimidating guards, sick kids: Inside ICE’s only family detention center

First-person accounts paint a bleak picture of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas.

Just to be clear: President Trump is threatening to wipe out Iran’s energy infrastructure – which is likely a war crime. Congress shouldn’t fund this war and be complicit in this.

Trump issues new threat to Iran's energy infrastructure if a ceasefire isn't reached 'shortly'

Trump's new threat in a social media post and earlier comments in an interview with the Financial Times that suggested American troops could seize the country's Kharg Island oil export hub highlight a...

Gas prices are still WAY up – across the country and here in San Diego – thanks to Trump’s war of choice in Iran. This continues to be a huge blunder on the part of the Trump Administration and Americans continue to pay the price.

Where to find gas around $5 in San Diego

While averages hit $5.85, a few stations still offer cheaper fill-ups.

Transgender service members with extremely valuable experience, training, and expertise have been kicked out of the military because of Trump’s discriminatory ban. It’s a disgrace.

The Betrayal of Trans Troops : Up First from NPR

In his first term, President Trump required transgender service members to register with the diagnosis of gender dysphoria in order to continue serving openly in the military. Now, amidst Middle East ...

TSA keeps Americans safe and our airports running. ICE does neither of those things and is still being paid thanks to billions of dollars from Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. Let’s pay TSA, rein in ICE, and end this chaos.

This is the first time a mom has been charged under Georgia’s heinous anti-abortion law but it won’t be the last. No one should have to live with the fear or shame of making the health care decisions that are right for them.

Woman charged with attempted murder under Georgia abortion law

A 31-year-old U.S. Army veteran has been charged with attempted murder, the first time that a mother has been charged under Georgia’s restrictive abortion law.

What a creative way to say Trump has no plan in Iran…

Fox News article headline that reads: Trump's Iran strategy showcases 'doctrine of unpredictability' amid strike threats and sudden pause. Subhead: Iran denied any negotiations were underway as the US continued expanding its military footprint in the region. By Morgan Phillips. Fox News. Published March 24, 2026 5:00am am EDT.

Donald Trump’s heartless and cruel deportation policies are ripping parents away from their U.S. citizen children. Most of these parents have no criminal backgrounds or only minor records like traffic violations. No child deserves this.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids

A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Oh look – Donald "mail-in voting means mail-in cheating" Trump just voted by mail. So maybe all his baseless attacks on mail-in voting aren’t actually about election security, they’re about suppressing the right to vote for millions of Americans…

Trump, Who Calls Mail-in Voting ‘Cheating,’ Just Voted by Mail

President Trump had no plan before launching this reckless war, and he still doesn't have one three weeks later. The American people deserve better than this.

COLLINS: Who's gonna be in control of the Strait of Hormuz? Who's gonna be in control of that? TRUMP: Uhhhh it'll be jointly controlled COLLINS: By who? TRUMP: Maybe me. Maybe me. Me and the next ayatollah, whoever that is. There will also be a serious form of regime change. Look at Venezuela.

Trump isn’t concerned about airport lines or TSA workers – and he’s definitely not interested in negotiating with Democrats to rein in ICE. He’s focused on a voter suppression bill (the “SAVE America Act”) that will block millions of Americans from voting.

DHS funding talks in limbo after Trump calls on GOP to link bill to SAVE America Act

Senate talks aimed at ending the 38-day DHS shutdown hit a new roadblock after President Trump called on Republicans to hold out for passage of the SAVE America Act.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govMar 24(source)

ICE does not belong in our airports (or in our communities). Republicans in Congress should join Democrats to fund TSA immediately – and we shouldn’t give money to ICE (an agency that is literally killing people in the streets) to do it.

Long lines persist at some U.S. airports despite arrival of ICE officers

President Donald Trump has suggested the agents would be arresting undocumented immigrants at airports.
