"Trump & Thune About to Rip Away #Health Care & Whig-ify the #GOP Jan 1 - https://www.blueamp.co/p/trump-and-thune-about-to-rip-away

"There are certainly no lack of examples of their glib dishonesty and putrid amorality. But one that perfectly sums up the Jonestown GOP Caucus is their nonchalance at allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the only way millions of Americans can afford healthcare, to just disappear. Like Mike Johnson’s testicles when #Trump enters the room"

Judge rules #Trump troop deployment in #LA #illegal

The federal judge found that the deployment exceeded legal limits that generally prohibit the use of the #military for domestic law enforcement.

The Trump admin illegally used thousands of military #troops in #California, a federal judge said on Tues, in a ruling that accused Trump of effectively turning nearly 5k #Marines & #NationalGuard soldiers into a national police force.

But ProPublica found that at least three of the president’s Cabinet members have done the same thing.

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells.

The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.

Ohio Chaplain’s Case Shows How 9/11-Era Terror Rules Could Empower Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

The U.S. government is trying to deport Ohio children’s hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, alleging tenuous connections to terrorism. If DHS succeeds, experts say it could hand the Trump administration a “sledgehammer” to use on mass deportations.

Department of Homeland Security called the supreme court decision a victory and vowed to continue to “flood the zone” in Los Angeles while accusing LA mayor Karen Bass of “protecting” immigrants. “DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles. This decision is a victory for the safety of Americans in California and for the rule of law. DHS will continue to arrest and remove the criminal illegal aliens that @MayorOfLA is protecting,” read the social media post.

Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Trump Wants to Crack Down on “Debanking,” but He’s Dismantling a Regulator That Was Doing Just That

An executive order seeking to stop banks from discriminating against customers could be undermined by the administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which had been investigating the practice.

Interesting— the person #trump plans to posthumously commend with the highest civilian honor claimed in 2023 that there were “prowling Blacks” who “go around for fun to target white people.”

And in 2024, he said, “We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.”

It turns out Lisa Cook, the #Fed governor that the #Trump admin tried to oust “for cause,” doesn’t seem to have committed mortgage fraud after all. Imagine that.

She said her non-primary residence was meant for “vacation home” property use in loan documents & called it a “second home” in a security clearance questionnaire.

Her lender knew it was a non-primary residence, for which she agreed to terms and even paid more than the primary-residence mortgage rate.
