Today marks 1 MONTH since President Trump's Inauguration!
— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) February 20, 2025
My colleagues National Security Advisor @MikeWaltz47, Deputy Chief of Staff @StephenM, and NEC Director Kevin Hassett will join me at the podium to discuss the President's accomplishments so far.
Tune in at 1PM ET!
Yesterday, as we all know, President Shitshow called President Zelenskyy of Ukraine a “dictator”.
Waltz told Fox News that President Shitshow is simply frustrated by the “bizarre pushback” to the US owning (he says “investing) 50 percent of Ukraine minerals.

Without a shred of irony President Shitshow posted this after calling President Z a dictator:

It was followed up by this from Taylor Budowich; White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Cabinet Secretary. It’s an official government account that Taylor shared King Trump…
Screen grab for in case Taylor decides to delete it, since he's being told off in the comments for supporting an American King and in case it needs said. This is an official government account. This is not okay. https://t.co/SvSk0EOD2a pic.twitter.com/CaJ4Gcwdr1

There is more than I shared…
This press release from the Department of Transportation is what led to the Lies Social regarding “King President Shitshow”.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration today terminated approval of the pilot for New York’s Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP). In a letter to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, the Department rescinded a November 21, 2024 agreement signed under the Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP) that effectively ends tolling authority for New York City’s cordon pricing plan, which imposes tolls on drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street.
“New York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “Commuters using the highway system to enter New York City have already financed the construction and improvement of these highways through the payment of gas taxes and other taxes. But now the toll program leaves drivers without any free highway alternative, and instead, takes more money from working people to pay for a transit system and not highways. It’s backwards and unfair. The program also hurts small businesses in New York that rely on customers from New Jersey and Connecticut. Finally, it impedes the flow of commerce into New York by increasing costs for trucks, which in turn could make goods more expensive for consumer. Every American should be able to access New York City regardless of their economic means. It shouldn’t be reserved for an elite few.”The construction of federal-aid highways as a toll-free highway system has long been fundamental to the Federal-aid highway program. Except for limited exceptions allowed by Congress, highways constructed with Federal-aid highway funds cannot be tolled. The construction of Federal-aid highways as a toll-free highway system has long been fundamental to the Federal-aid highway program. The VPPP is one of the exceptions to the general prohibition against tolling.
As detailed in the letter, the Secretary is terminating the pilot for two reasons. First, the scope of the CBDTP is unprecedented and provides no toll-free option for many drivers who want or need to travel by vehicle in this major urbanized area. Second, the toll rate was set primarily to raise revenue for transit, rather than at an amount needed to reduce congestion. By doing so, the pilot runs contrary to the purpose of the VPPP, which is to impose tolls for congestion reduction – not transit revenue generation.
The Federal Highway Administration will work with the project sponsors on an orderly termination of the tolls.

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Ends Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders
PRESERVING FEDERAL BENEFITS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to ensure taxpayer resources are not used to incentivize or support illegal immigration.
- The Order directs Federal departments and agencies to identify all federally funded programs currently providing financial benefits to illegal aliens and take corrective action.
- It ensures that Federal funds to states and localities will not be used to support “sanctuary” policies or assist illegal immigration.
- It mandates improvements in eligibility verification to prevent benefits from going to individuals unlawfully present in the United States.
- President Trump is committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.
TAXPAYERS ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: With this Executive Order, President Trump is ensuring taxpayer resources are used to protect the interests of American citizens, not illegal aliens.
- The surge in illegal immigration, enabled by the previous Administration, is siphoning dollars and essential services from American citizens while state and local budgets grow increasingly strained.
- Under current welfare laws, specifically the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), illegal aliens are generally barred from welfare programs. But if they’re granted parole, they are classified as “qualified aliens” and become eligible for various welfare programs on a sliding scale, with full eligibility granted within five years.
- According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), providing welfare to one million illegal aliens could cost American taxpayers an additional $3 billion annually.
- The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee estimated that taxpayers could pay as much as $451 billion to care for illegal aliens and gotaways that have entered the United States unlawfully since January 2021.
- The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) calculated that American taxpayers spend at least $182 billion annually to cover the costs incurred by the presence of 20 million illegal aliens and their children, which includes $66.5 billion in Federal expenses plus an additional $115.6 billion in state and local expenses.
- The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the Biden Administration’s open borders agenda, which sought to provide Medicaid-funded emergency services to illegal aliens, has cost Federal and state taxpayers more than $16.2 billion.
- The Biden Administration gave billions in taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups that facilitated mass illegal migration and provided legal services to challenge deportation orders.
- In addition, since 2021, more than $1 billion has been allocated through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to illegal aliens.
SECURING THE BORDER AND PUTTING AMERICANS FIRST: President Trump has delivered on his promise to secure the border and prioritize the needs of American citizens, taking immediate action to put an end to the previous Administration’s border crisis. Since taking office, President Trump has:
- Declared a national emergency at the southern border.
- Deployed additional personnel to the border, including members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard.
- Restarted border wall construction.
- Designated international cartels and other criminal organizations – such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua – as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
- Suspended the entry of aliens into the U.S.
- Called for enhanced vetting and screening of aliens.
- Required the identification of countries that warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals.
- Restarted the detention and removal of aliens who are in violation of Federal law.
- Directed the Administration to resume the Migrant Protection Protocols – also known as “Remain in Mexico” – as soon as practicable.
- Ended the use of the CBP One app.
- Terminated all categorical parole programs, such as the “Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans,” that are contrary to President Trump’s immigration agenda.
- Ended automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens.
- Paused the operation of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
- Ended catch-and-release policies.
- Revoked Biden’s disastrous executive actions that essentially opened our southern border.
- Detained the most dangerous illegal criminal aliens in Guantanamo Bay.
From ABC News (02/19/2025): Trump said Guantanamo would hold ‘high threat’ migrants — but others have ended up there:
Early this month, as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, the first flight carrying “high threat” migrants landed at Guantanamo Bay, home of the notorious U.S. prison camp that administration officials said would house the most violent “worst of the worst” migrants apprehended on American soil.
ABC News, however, has spoken with the families of two migrants who say they’re being held there despite having no criminal record.
[snip]
But in the weeks that have followed, as more migrants have been sent to Guantanamo, immigrant advocacy groups and some relatives of those detained claim the administration has provided no evidence that those detained are “high-threat” — and that people are being sent to the military base without access to legal counsel or the ability to communicate with relatives.
“It’s troubling enough that we are even sending immigrants from the U.S. to Guantanamo, but it’s beyond the pale that we are holding them incommunicado, without access to attorneys, family or the outside world,” said Lee Gelernt, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union.
A DHS spokesperson told ABC News last week that in addition to holding violent gang members and other “high-threat” migrants, the military is also holding other undocumented migrants with final deportation orders.
An ABC News review of 53 Guantanamo detainees whose names were published by The New York Times found federal cases associated with 14 of the names. That number does not account for possible variations in spelling, nor does it include any possible state cases.
According to federal court records, among those cases, one individual was charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding an officer during a riot at a detention center. Another was charged for allegedly being involved in an “illegal alien smuggling scheme,” and one was charged with “intentionally conspiring to transport” undocumented people in Texas.
In the other federal cases ABC News found, the individuals were charged for entry or illegal reentry into the U.S., a criminal offense.

From the Tax Policy Center.org (updated January 2024):
Q: Do immigrants pay taxes?
A: Yes. (It won’t let me copy the answer in full).
Background:
[snip]
Since the IRS does not require taxpayers to report their nationality or legal status when filing their taxes, it is difficult to measure total tax payments, benefits, or liabilities of immigrants. Per the American Immigration Council’s analysis of US Census Bureau data, immigrant-led households in the US paid $492 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2019.
Contrary to common assumptions, undocumented immigrants, or those without a valid and unexpired visa or other form of legal status, also pay federal, state, and local taxes. Because they are not eligible for Social Security numbers (SSNs), the IRS requires these individuals to comply with federal tax reporting by issuing them individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITINs). Some survivors of domestic violence, Cuban and Haitian entrants, student visa holders, and certain spouses and children of those with employment visas also use ITINs. According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, there were 5.4 million active ITINs in January 2021.
Per the IRS’ Taxpayer Advocate Service, over 2.5 million federal tax returns were filed by ITIN filers in 2019, with a total reported tax liability of nearly $6 billion. Additional estimates suggest that undocumented immigrants pay nearly $12 billion in annual state and local sales, excise, income, and property taxes (Gee et al. 2017). Undocumented immigrants also pay billions of dollars in federal payroll taxes that are withheld from their wages, even though they are not eligible to benefit from the Social Security and Medicare programs these revenues support (Goss et al. 2013).
Recent research from TPC has highlighted that even when certain undocumented immigrants are made eligible for tax benefits, such as the child tax credit (CTC), they can face various administrative barriers, including a maze of household eligibility requirements and processing delays from the IRS (Godinez-Puig, Boddupalli, and Mucciolo 2022).
Frequently debated are the short-term and long-term economic impacts of immigration in the US (NASEM 2017). According to a 2023 analysis by the Cato Institute, immigrants overall have a larger positive fiscal impact than native-born Americans when accounting for both groups’ incomes, taxes paid, and government benefits received; this is, in part, because immigrants on average pay more in taxes than they receive in government benefits at federal, state, and local government levels combined (Nowrasteh 2023).

America Is Back — and President Trump Is Just Getting Started; this is a long list of his so-called list of links to his “accomplishments in the past 30 days. It’s a very long list of links.
I have little to no name to check each of the massive links they’ve shared. Maybe tomorrow? But since it’s President Shitshow, we have no idea what Fresh Hell he brings in the next 24 hours…
Case in point:

This is an open thread
