John:
Hello from Capitol Hill.
Welcome back from the Easter break. This week, marking the 100^th day of Trump 2.0, kicks off what Punchbowl speculates could be “the most important (three month stretch) of Trump’s second term.” Lawmakers are back in Washington and marking up the draft components of the budget reconciliation bill to enact major Trump priorities. Today, the House Homeland Security, Armed Services, and Education and Workforce committees will mark up their respective portions of the bill. On Wednesday, Oversight and Financial services will do theirs. The Big Six (Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, Treasury Secretary Bessent, Senate Finance Chair Crapo, Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett) met yesterday to discuss paths forward for the reconciliation bill, following an earlier meeting between Johnson and President Trump.
Today marks the highly anticipated 100^th day of President Trump’s Second term. Everyone seems to agree- this has been one of the most transformative periods in American history. He has signed over 130 executive orders ([link removed]) , effectively brought a halt ([link removed]) to illegal immigration, deported ([link removed]) over 100k criminals (including heinous child sex offenders ([link removed]) ), signed the Laken Riley Act ([link removed]) into
law, made huge strides towards ending the Ukraine War, began the dissolution ([link removed]) of the Department of Education, dealt grievous blows ([link removed]) to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, protected ([link removed]) women’s sports from the intrusion of men, shrunk government, strengthened ([link removed]) the military, protected ([link removed]) college students from antisemitism, and much (much) more. MAGA allies and commentators have hailed this as an unprecedented
realignment of government and culture towards Trump’s populist-nationalist vision. On the other side of things: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called this period “100 days from hell ([link removed]) ,” while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a 12-hour “sit in ([link removed]) ” on the Capitol steps to protest President Trump.
The arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan by the FBI for allegedly obstructing justice has become a new flashpoint of President Trump’s clash with both activist judges and opponents to the enforcement of immigration law. Dugan reportedly misdirected law enforcement when they showed up to apprehend an illegal alien criminal at her courtroom, leading to the criminal attempting to run from ICE. Judge Dugan’s affair has inspired the likeminded Judge Monica Isham to refuse to hold court ([link removed]) , stating “she has no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp…” Attorney General Bondi reiterated ([link removed]) the administration’s dedication to enforcing the law, regardless of who breaks it: “…we’re sending a very strong message today if
you are harboring a fugitive, we don’t care who you are. If you are helping hide one, if you are giving a TdA member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and prosecute you. We will find you.”
