OMB’s proposed rule is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding for their own partisan and destructive goals. It is illegal and would irreparably harm recipients of federal funding and the people they serve. We must ensure it is scrapped entirely.

Proposed federal grant changes are alarming, illegal and 'bad for Boston,' say Mass. researchers and lawmakers

Trump has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so now he wants to take it over and charge ships to use it. Not only is this illegal, it’s a recipe for endless war with Iran and higher gas prices. We should not be the world’s police force. Get out of the Strait. End the war. Now.
US to take over Strait of Hormuz, charge 20 percent fee for cargo shipped through, Trump says
The U.S. will become “guardian” of the strait, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.

Judge Smacks Down Trump’s IRS Settlement And Orders Sanctions
ByAlison Durkee,Forbes Staff.
First, Trump takes a massive bribe from Qatar in the form of a $400 million luxury jet. Then, despite clear security threats, he rushes it into use, skipping many of the usual defensive systems. So, not only is this plane an illegal bribe, but it risks our national security. Corrupt and dangerous.
New Air Force One Lacks Defensive Countermeasures of Previous Model, Officials Say
Experts said the lack of such capabilities poses a potential risk when the president travels overseas. The White House defended the aircraft’s safety.
The harms of AI aren't hypothetical. They're happening right now. That is why I'm releasing my AI Accountability Agenda—a comprehensive legislative plan to take power back from Big Tech and put commonsense protections in place for workers, kids, and communities across the country.
The AI Accountability Agenda” on a purple background with faint binary code and a subtle image of people gathered in the background. The graphic lists six priorities:

Giving the power back to workers.
Protecting the privacy & safety of children and teens.
Keeping civil rights safe from AI bias.
Putting humans first in healthcare.
Safeguarding against energy & environmental impacts from data centers.
Sharing the AI wealth.
Trump is attacking Iran again and saying the ceasefire is “over,” but Congress already voted on a bipartisan basis to end this reckless war. If Trump wont stop bombing, Congress must cut off funding. I am leading the effort to slash Trump’s war machine. End the war now.
As Iran Cease-Fire Frays, Trump Faces a Muddled War and Unpalatable Options
The president appears to be confronting the consequences of a cease-fire deal cobbled together in haste, with little movement toward resolving the key issues driving the conflict.
Trump is either politicizing disaster declarations or he is attacking states where it snows—neither is good. The February blizzard was costly for our communities, and Trump must approve the Commonwealth’s need for assistance. I will continue fighting with Governor Healey as she appeals this denial.
Trump denies disaster aid for 4 Democratic-led states
The move deepens what Democrats say is the president's politicization of federal emergency management decisions.
Another video of an ICE murder and another statement from ICE leaving us wondering what’s true. It shouldn’t be this way. Abolish ICE and hold Trump’s thugs accountable.
The Washington post
ICE OFFICER FATALLY SHOOTS MEXICAN MAN IN HOUSTON DURING TRAFFIC STOP
I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.
