NEW: Women across the country are victims of what’s called coerced debt—and it is ridiculously hard to crack down on.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced a new initiative that would lead to more unhoused veterans being forced into guardianships.

It's part of a long history of poor disabled people's civil liberties being threatened. https://t.co/8Ew6XpVAAl

Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Trump’s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content.

And his new role could grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare. https://t.co/vYmGlJ9W5z

“They want me to hide or leave or disappear, not to be visible and active in public society."

The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would compel banks to collect citizenship information from customers.

If this happens, it would “add another layer of difficulty for survivors and immigrants" and “will make getting a bank account nearly impossible for many of them.” https://t.co/VUkYrKv0PS

Manhattan's borough president wrote that federal agents “used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl” when they “purposefully deceived campus housing/security to gain entry to the student’s apartment.” https://t.co/SGgxn67diW

The administration could require proof of legal status to bank—which many survivors, documented or not, won't have. https://t.co/D9DgK5S5ki

Veterans accuse him of stolen valor. His international arms company is deep in debt. He had a restraining order placed on him last year. And he's widely disliked.

“Let’s just call this what it is,” Colbrt said on air Monday, “Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV.” https://t.co/sGGzaW1K7H
