I think we're going to do fantastically. President Trump's proposed $1.7 trillion budget promises more than $100 billion in cuts to non-defense federal spending. It increases spending at the border, coupled with cuts to foreign aid.

In just a few days, the TSA will start looking for a star in the upper right-hand corner of driver's licenses as Real ID's become a reality for domestic air travel. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has now launched Real ID Tuesdays, which will make an additional 5,200 appointments available every other Tuesday going forward.
In Maine, state leaders there sent a letter to DHS and TSA asking for a phased-in approach to enforcing the REAL ID. The request coming after Maine's secretary of state said estimates showed fewer than 50 percent of travelers had a compliant ID while traveling through the state's largest airport.

As she crisscrosses the country, many are wondering if Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans to run for president. Well,

They say she raised more than $9 million in the first three months of the year, her strongest quarter ever, with more than 200,000 individual donors. But Vice President J.D. Vance suggests the Democratic Party has a bigger leadership problem.
I think to the extent that Democrats have a leader, Donald J. Trump is the leader of the Democratic Party. Because they're against him. Because they're just against everything that he does. During her event, AOC also challenged Border Czar Tom Holman to, quote, come for her after he threatened to refer her to the Justice Department for giving advice to migrants on how to avoid being deported. That's Fox's Madeline Rivera in Washington. Ocasio-Cortez is criticizing the Trump administration for attacks on free speech and cut
