President Donald Trump issued the first vetoes of his second term, rejecting two bipartisan bills, a move to punish backers who had opposed the president’s will on other issues.
Donald Trump vetoed drinking water pipeline legislation from Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado, a longtime ally who broke with the president in November to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
He also vetoed legislation that would have given the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida more control of some of its tribal lands. The tribe was among groups suing the administration over an immigration detention center in the Everglades known as Alligator Alcatraz.
It is not kind to oppose the tyrant and if you do, he’ll make your life a living hell.
