Does convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell get a deal from DoJ if she
implicates Trump? Not a chance in hell.

Does Maxwell get a deal from DoJ if she exonerates Trump? Probably.

She knows both things very well. She's a criminal & a liar given incentive by DoJ to lie to benefit herself.

Delayed for THREE DAYS

When there could have been immediate response, as I know first hand.

#Texas- republicans are responsible for the deaths

Sens. Gallego and Blumenthal are asking the DHS inspector general to investigate Kristi Noem's "disastrous" response to the Texas floods, arguing that her policies "needlessly delayed FEMA's response to the crisis and caused preventable loss of life and suffering."

Fascist republicans must be removed.

#Disinformation: #SocialSecurity email praising Trump’s tax bill is a lie

The #SSA sent an email claiming Trump’s bill eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients.

The reconciliation bill–which #Trump called the #OneBigBeautifulBill before signing it after #Republicans in #Congress passed it–will strip people of their #HealthInsurance, cut #FoodAssistance for the #poor, kill off #CleanEnergy development & raise the #NationalDebt by trillions.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress are working out how to use U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill to gain an edge in the 2026 midterm elections. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/04/world/politics/republicans-democracts-2026-midterm-elections/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #congress #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats

After days of intense behind-the-scenes pressure from the White House, Congress proved to be no match for a president at the peak of his power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/04/world/politics/trump-win-politcal-power-extend/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #congress

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved President Donald Trump's tax-cut package on Thursday, which will now go to him to sign into law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/04/world/politics/trump-big-beautiful-bill-pass/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #donaldtrump #republicans #us #congress

#HakeemJeffries talked about #Republicans rollback of #Biden-era #CleanEnergy#TaxCredits. Jeffries pointed to a letter from several #HouseRepublicans who had asked for those credits to be preserved.

Jeffries has at times singled out members of #Congress whose seats #Democrats hope to flip next year. He has been particularly critical of Reps #DavidValadao of #California & #JuanCiscomani of #Arizona, who both have objected to the bill’s provisions at various points but have voted to advance it.

The #Trump admin has declined to release nearly $7 billion in federal #funding for #schools that helps pay for after-school & summer programs, support for #students learning English, #teacher training & other services.

The money, which was already allocated by #Congress, was expected to be released by Tuesday. But in an email on Monday, the Trump #Education Department notified #state education agencies that the money would not be available.

The #Trump admin has taken an aggressive approach to cutting back the federal government’s role in #education, including plans to eliminate the Education Department entirely. Though only #Congress can abolish the department, the Trump admin has taken an ax to education staffing & #funding more broadly as it seeks to whittle down the department.

The admin has suggested that it may seek to eliminate the nearly $7 billion in frozen funding. [which it absolutely cannot do]

#RussVought, the director of the White House #OMB, said during a #Senate#Appropriations Cmte hearing last week that the admin was considering ways to claw back the funding through a process known as rescission. The admin would formally ask lawmakers to claw back a set of funds it has targeted for cuts. Even if #Congress fails to vote on the request, #Trump’s timing would trigger a #law that freezes the money until it ultimately expires.

“No decision has been made,” Vought said.

“It’s catastrophic,” said Jodi Grant, executive director of the Afterschool Alliance, a group that works to expand after-school services for #students. She estimated that the federal dollars for after-school & summer-school programs — about $1.3 billion annually — support 1.4 million students, mostly lower income, representing about 20% of all students in after-school programs nationally.

The move is likely to be challenged in #court & has already been criticized [correctly characterized] as #illegal by #Democrats & #teachers#unions, who emphasized that the money had been appropriated by #Congress & was approved by #Trump in March as part of a broader #funding bill.

“This is lawless,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
