Why, America? with Leeja Miller

This is just the latest in a series of attacks against trans people by the Trump regime. FREE TOYS OR GIFT CARDS FOR TOYS!

You might have missed a couple consequential Executive Orders last week in the mayhem of our current news cycle. But both orders from April 28th are important to understand the Project 2025 and Trump Administration ground game when it comes to local jurisdictions and sanctuary cities. They have a whole plan for punishing anyone who doesn't bend the knee. Steps to take today: 1. Call Your AG (Blue State Defiance) 2. Protest (50501 or Tesla Takedown) 3. Call Your Federal Reps (5 Calls) 4. Follow Your Local Reps (Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy On The Brink) Stop leaving yourself vulnerable to data breaches.

60 Minutes fights back while parent company Paramount tries to capitulate to Trump in order to push through a merger that will further concentrate the monopolization of our media industry. Trump's FCC chair Brendan Carr has been hounding every major media conglomerate (except Fox) to end DEI practices and curb negative reporting about Trump. A look at what's been happening in Hungary gives us a glimpse into our future, and it ain't lookin' pretty! Thanks to Lumen for sponsoring.

A 4 year old US-born child with stage 4 cancer is the latest target to be deported without due process, along with two other US-born children and their undocumented mothers. Trump officials blame the mothers, because of course. PLUS: Congressional Democrats might (??) be ready to put up a fight, civilians get armed, and law students fight back.

Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan was arrested this morning for allegedly helping an immigrant evade ICE. A judge and his wife were arrested this week for allegedly harboring immigrants. The message is clear: if you help immigrants, you will face consequences. Plus: Trump has three major court losses on Thursday on DEI, sanctuary cities, and voting suppression; and DHS doxxes Abrego Garcia's wife.

It's looking like the Trump admin isn't going to invoke the Insurrection Act, for now, but what about all this talk about martial law and suspending habeas corpus? Let's discuss.

All the news you missed this week, including: Trump has set his sights on watchdog groups and nonprofits, seeking to punish them by removing their tax exempt status. Also, Kilmar Abrego Garcia meets with Senator Van Hollen in what is almost certainly a photo op meant to downplay the severity of the conditions in CECOT. Also, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in the birthright citizenship case, which should give us all cause for concern!! 🥐 Thank you Wildgrain for sponsoring.

With Judge Boasberg finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court and Judge Xinis, who's presiding over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, eyeing sanctions as well, there is no doubt that the Trump administration has openly defied court orders at this point. What remains unknown is what happens next. We are all watching with bated breath to see if the Trump administration respects any judicial authority at all, or if we have reached a point where judicial orders no longer hold any sway over the regime. Something tells me it will be a secret, but also bad, third thing.   Go to https://ground.news/Leeja to stay fully informed on US Politics and see all sides of every story.

Tariff's reciprocal tariffs were announced last week, with the 10% base tariff going into effect last Friday. The news sent the market into a tailspin, the S&P 500 has almost entered bear territory, 401ks are losing dramatic value, billionaires lost billions, and no one is happy. Except for Trump and his own personal Rasputin, Peter Navarro, the architect behind Trump's tariff plan and trade wars. How did we get here, and WHY? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT WEIRD FORMULA?   Go to https://ground.news/Leeja to stay fully informed on US Politics and see all sides of every story.
