Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe.
We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.
That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Just thinking out loud …
How about giving our teachers a $50,000 signing bonuses, $100,000 salaries, and $60,000 in student loan forgiveness.
You know, like ICE receives for tormenting and abusing our immigrant community.

Y'all cannot conceive of the level of pure rage I feel every time I read about something Brooke Rollins has done. She's malicious and incompetent.
They're making hungry people reapply for SNAP. There no widespread SNAP abuse. There are billionaires abusing us so kids and elders go hungry.

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid of “fraud.”

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
