[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Plaintiffs in Virginia federal court case challenging Trump's $1.7 billion slush ask judge to permit some "discovery" and review... to determine if the slush fund truly has been scrapped by Trump Admin.

Attorney for plaintiffs: “We’ve seen this administration say one thing and do the complete opposite far too many times, and we’re asking the court to have them show us the truth about their assurances that the slush fund has actually been abandoned"

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?

TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

The court's ruling reaffirms: the federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways based on political targeting, fear, and discrimination.

We're pleased the court recognized the devastating human consequences of these policies.

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

The Trump administration's slush fund is unconstitutional and corrupt. It would take taxpayer money without Congressional authorization to possibly reward people convicted of beating police officers. I'm fighting in Congress to stop it - and today I'm taking new action to block in the courts.
