As Virginians face a growing cost crisis, President Trump is politicizing funding for critical USDA programs that help feed vulnerable children, hardworking families, senior citizens and rural communities.
A political stunt from an administration that uses the machinery of government to target its perceived opponents while extending leniency to those aligned with its interests
Trump has 'weaponized' the Justice Department, saying it has shifted from pursuing criminal prosecutions to conducting 'political persecutions against political enemies.'

As South Carolina’s Attorney General, I have been proud to stand with him. And I never backed down. When President Trump needed fighters, I was in the fight.
Everyone, regardless of their income level, is entitled to equal justice under the law.
Romulus simply was not – and never would be – the appropriate place for a large-scale detention center.
My hope is that we’ll be successful at the district court level with the court, and that Omaha will not decide to do what Lincoln did.
