I would also add that Trump has pulled lots and lots of federal agents normally tasked with investigating serious crimes off those duties to do immigration enforcement with ICE. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?

Good news. I think I've come up with a policy idea that can both eliminate the harm that Trump's trade war is doing to farmers AND also reduce the cost of groceries for regular Americans. (You'll never guess what it is.)
Farmers get a bail out in the face of the costs they've born from Trump's trade war. Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans.
Now riddle me this: Why not bail out consumers who are paying more for imported goods?

There's a lot going on, and immigration law is notoriously labyrinthine. But it's still wild both that (1) the Trump administration is trying to treat millions of non-citizens who have lived here for years/decades as "arriving aliens"; & (2) *hundreds* of courts have (almost unanimously!) said "no":
195. The Immigration Detention Flood
The Trump administration's attempt to quietly—but massively—expand who can be detained pending their removal has been met with overwhelming pushback from a remarkably large number of district courts.
