President Trump promised to use the Department of Justice to go after his political enemies, and he's doing it.

In addition to Comey, he's instructed his attorney general to prosecute other Democrats who investigated him, including California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff and the attorney general of New York, Letitia James.

The New York Times is reporting that Fannie Willis has received a subpoena.

Willis is the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney who charged Trump with trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

Legal experts say although the Comey case is weak and may not end with a conviction, his indictment sends a message to Trump's other adversaries that he can bankrupt them and ruin their careers.

This week, lawmakers from both chambers need to figure out how to make the numbers add up. One option is using a budgetary slate of hand and simply declaring that the tax cuts don't add to the deficit. Or if lawmakers really want to reduce spending, they could cut Medicaid. But many Republicans and President Trump have promised not to do that.

The other pressure on lawmakers is that the bond market is raising yields. The interest bondholders charge for financing U.S. debt because, among other things, It doesn't see the U.S. getting its fiscal house in order.

The judge ruled that Abrego-Garcia was wrongly deported, and the administration has admitted he was deported because of a, quote, administrative error. The judge says the government has to get him back or, quote, facilitate his return, and the Supreme Court has backed up the judge. So now...

It would seem to be a pretty simple matter of President Trump asking to bring this man back to the United States. But the Department of Justice has been resisting the judge's order, even though President Trump said on Friday, quote, if the Supreme Court says bring somebody back, I would do that.

Standing in front of a group of coal miners wearing work uniforms and hard hats, President Trump signed orders that would remove regulations for new coal mines and expedite leases for coal mining on federal land. He said the orders would crush Biden-era environmental restrictions.
