Last year, the president of the United States asked Americans to sacrifice for his tariffs while he pocketed $2 billion.

Interesting detail from the Oval Office meeting with farmers last week, right after the SCOTUS ruling that handed a win to pesticide company Bayer

- A South Dakota farmer, there to witness an EO signing, decided to tell Trump that the ruling was a major disappointment. He said he felt families were being “poisoned by these chemical companies and didn’t have recourse anymore.” The president seemed concerned, the farmer said

- The farmer was backed up by RFK Jr. and Calley Means, who reiterated the political problem it posed for the MAHA movement

- RFK Jr. and Means framed the ruling as a black eye to MAHA, multiple people in the meeting said, and Kennedy said the executive order on regenerative agriculture would be an important part of repairing relations with the MAHA supporters

A federal judge recently shut down a database the Trump administration used to check voters’ citizenship. The program had incorrectly flagged thousands of eligible voters.

Now, four Republican-led states say they’re entitled to have their access restored.

The blatant corruption is just staggering.

As Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again. Read and share my letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/g8bFrhZ9Dg

Trump used an image from a dignified transfer for six U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in a fundraising email promising donors access to “private national security briefings.” https://t.co/F5uDcbmmkO

I know the President is flying to North Dakota today to visit the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library… but it should be noted this visit comes only two months after he ignored Roosevelt’s descendants who asked him to save the Boundary Waters.

Roosevelt was the first American President to protect the Boundary Waters back in 1909. He was a staunch conservationist and thought of public lands as the birthright of every single American, and he was a huge Minnesota enthusiast (below you’ll see Roosevelt delivering his iconic “Speak softly and carry a big stick” speech at the 1901 Minnesota State Fair, just four days before President McKinley was assassinated and Roosevelt became Commander in Chief).

President Roosevelt’s descendants wrote: “Theodore Roosevelt was active in preserving our greatest wilderness terrain on both the East and West coasts - it became one of the greatest enduring legacies of his life. It is now time for all of you to get in the Arena with him. We implore you to do your own parts to ensure TR's common-sense approach to conservationism is as strong today as it was more than a century ago. There is no better way to do this than to preserve the greatest wilderness terrain in the middle of America's Heartland: The Boundary Waters.”

Yet Trump signed the legislation selling out the Boundary Waters two months later.

Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria with a 20% mortality rate, has been spotted in multiple U.S. waterways.

This comes after the Trump administration disrupted water monitoring systems and slashed CDC programs that studied the bacteria.

NEW: In the term ending last year, the Supreme Court passed a troubling milestone: The Shadow Docket overtook the normal process.

That means more unsigned decisions with no reasoning and secret votes from the highest court.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Any other FBI Director would have resigned before this story broke. The real news here is that Trump is willing to tolerate this.

The Trump admin has given Event Strategies, which organized the January 6 Ellipse rally, $ tens of millions in federal funds to arrange 250th anniversary events. That's happening while a partner at the firm doubles as a top Trump adviser on public events. https://t.co/EbYoNnGLjp

Trump's "net worth is off the charts, bigger than what it was prior to this presidency." @maggieNYT says we're just scratching the surface when it comes to how Trump has used the presidency to inflate his wealth.

When we found out Eric Swalwell was a sexual predator, we ran him out of Congress within 2 weeks

SCOTUS officially defined Trump as an adjudicated rapist & his name is in the Epstein Files almost as much as Jeffrey Epstein’s, yet Republicans remain loyal

We are not the same🤬

The Trump administration is planning to cut down DC's oldest cherry tree to make way for a new Trump golf course.

At the behest of GOP partisans, the Roberts Court blew up campaign finance limits today in NRSC v. FEC & handed corporate donors a green light to funnel cash straight to political parties

Six Republican justices sided with billionaires over the American people
