Same week: $31B for ICE passed.
Same week: ICE stopped counting detainee deaths.
Same week: Trump’s personal lawyer nominated as permanent AG.

The courts keep saying no.

A federal judge just struck down Trump’s policy freezing asylum, green cards and citizenship for immigrants from 39 countries.

The judge: it “threw countless lives into indeterminate legal limbo” and USCIS “ignored the law.”

James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”

Nine days from now fighters walk from the Oval Office to a UFC cage on the White House lawn.

The fund was never dead. It was strategy.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

The “dead” $1.8B slush fund just sparked the biggest Republican Senate floor fight of Trump’s second term.

GOP blindsided. Blanche said “dead, period” under oath.

Democrats tried to ban it in law. Republicans blocked them.

Trump then nominated Blanche as permanent AG.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Not hiding the deaths because the numbers are good.

Hiding them because they’re damning.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

ICE had 18 detainee deaths in 5 months.

Their response today: stop counting deaths that happen within 30 days of release.

The ACLU: 95% of ICE deaths are preventable with adequate medical care.

The Senate today: gave ICE $31 billion.

Schumer: “They’ll answer to the American people.”

Amendment after amendment. Vote after vote.

Remember in November.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Todd Blanche: “The fund is dead. Period.”

Senate Republicans today: voted to keep it alive when Democrats tried to ban it permanently.

Also today: $31B for ICE passed with zero Democratic votes.

Two protesters killed by federal agents in January. No policy changes required.

The DOJ being asked to investigate is run by Trump’s former personal defense lawyer.

One conviction in 20 years of this network.

Don’t hold your breath.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Epstein’s assistant Sarah Kellen just named two new alleged abusers before Congress:

— Philip Levine, former Mayor of Miami Beach
— Frédéric Fekkai, celebrity hairstylist

She wants to testify more. She wants immunity.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Bolton is no hero. He helped start the Iraq War.

But Todd Blanche — Trump’s personal lawyer — is now the permanent AG.

The DOJ prosecutes who Trump wants prosecuted.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

John Bolton is pleading guilty to sharing diary notes with his wife and daughter.

Trump: 40 classified document charges — dropped.
CIA official David Rush: stole $40M in gold bars — arrested.
Bolton: shared notes with family — felony plea.

Meanwhile: Medicaid cuts. Gas above $4. Iran war day 95. Social Security facing $500/month cuts by 2032.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Trump demolished the White House East Wing to build a 90,000 sq ft personal ballroom.

Asked his Republican Senate for $1 billion to pay for it.

They said no.

He tore down the People’s House for a ballroom they won’t fund.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

As acting AG he:

•Created a $1.8B slush fund two judges blocked
•Pursued indictments against Trump’s critics
•Banned IRS from auditing Trump

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Trump just nominated his personal criminal defense lawyer as permanent Attorney General.

Todd Blanche represented Trump in his 34-felony-count conviction.

Called it “dead, period” on Tuesday.

Made permanent AG on Wednesday.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

Trump will veto it. But his own party just said: enough.

[Progressives 4 Democratic Republic @PDRNow]

BREAKING: The Republican-controlled House just voted 215-208 to end Trump’s Iran war.

He never got congressional authorization. 13 Americans dead. Gas above $4. 95 days.

GOP leaders tried to cancel this vote two weeks ago. It passed anyway.

That’s historic.
