TRUMP JUST DISMANTLED the program aimed to spot lone-actor violence and violent domestic extremists, exactly like what happened in Minnesota The day before the attack, the last top officials there were reassigned Trump is weaponizing DOJ into going after his political enemies instead of criminals
A post from USA Today reads: As 'lone actor' attacks rise, Trump cuts program aimed at spotting them.

America witnessed one of the largest peaceful demonstrations in our country's history on No Kings Day. Nearly 5 MILLION Americans took to the streets to make their voices heard against the rise of authoritarianism. It was inspiring. And I was so proud to be one of them.

The way agents treated Senator Padilla is what you see in totalitarian regimes. It is outrageous that Secretary Noem let this happen, then lied about the incident after the fact. She has proven herself to be derelict in her responsibilities.

It was sickening to see United States Senator Mike Lee use the tragedy in Minnesota to take cheap political shots, risk escalating a dangerous moment, fan the flames of division with lies while the killer was still on the loose He needs to take his posts down and apologize to the victims’ families

Buffalo’s own Solar Liberty is one of WNY’s largest home solar installers, helping families lower their energy bills. We made federal investments to boost small businesses like Solar Liberty. But now the GOP plan could devastate them, hurting jobs and manufacturing and driving up energy costs.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference in Buffalo on how the Republican bill will raise energy costs, June 16, 2025.

I’m here with GreenSpark Solar, named Rochester’s #1 fastest-growing business But they’ve already had to lay off 20 workers because of Republicans’ attacks on clean energy And they’re worried about the future of their business with the Republican bill that would hike energy bills

It’s hard to believe that the Senate Republicans would put forward a bill that’s even worse than the House bill on Medicaid, but they did. Even more people will lose health care Even more hospitals will close Even more people will have their health insurance costs skyrocket
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govJun 16(source)
The Republican Senate Finance draft cuts to Medicaid are deeper and more devastating than even the Republican House’s disaster of a bill This could lead to even more than the 16M people expected to lose health insurance and the hundreds of hospitals and health centers facing higher risk of closure

The Senate Finance Committee unveiled its changes to how the GOP megabill would execute a major tax revamp and Medicaid cuts.

The Republican Finance draft is a head fake and farce. It increases energy costs. Period. The quick phaseout for solar and wind alone will make energy more expensive, make it harder to compete with China, and kill thousands upon thousands of jobs across the country, mostly in Republican districts.

I was so proud to be in New York City today supporting Americans making their voice heard at No Kings protests and pushing back on Donald Trump’s authoritarian push to rig the economy for his billionaire buddies.
