"Frankly, if Congress doesn't codify it, they'll go into court. My sense [is] it's really difficult to justify tax changes because the president wanted to change them,"
It should be obvious by now that the Trump administration's effort to remove large numbers of people who entered the country illegally is not only built on lies, but is doing far more harm than good. There is clear public support for Trump's effort to secure the border, but immigration reform has three parts, not one. It must include fixing the asylum system and creating more paths to legal status.
Bessent said his agency has launched a series of actions to combat fraud in the state and has launched investigations into four businesses that people use to wire money to family members abroad to do more to scrutinize transactions.

It was nearly a decade ago that Oakland voters overwhelmingly agreed in the ballot boxes that the city needed citizen oversight of the police department. Many hoped at the time that the newly established watchdog body would eventually take the reins from federal officials who have maintained control of the Oakland Police Department for now over two decades.

Craig reportedly confronted Emmer about the recent murder of 37-year-old queer mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. The video shows Craig approaching Emmer, forcefully gesturing and pointing at him as she speaks. He speaks over her, also gesturing and leaning towards her.
