By purchasing a Tesla with Taxpayer funds, Trump just signaled that the federal government is going to financially guarantee its future success.

The question isn't whether Mahmoud Khalil has the right to protest. The question is whether government agents can now seize legal residents, hold them incommunicado, move them from prison to prison, and sneer at the courts. Apparently they now can and will. https://mas.to/@gleick/114151675445173005

"Our caucus is unified," says Schumer.

Team Fight has won the CR battle in the Senate Democratic caucus.

Semafor:
