They’re not going anywhere, but I don’t see them having the same national pull without the man himself. Of course those of us in red states still have to deal with them.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, join the right wing criminal syndicate ecosystem and get rich selling their souls to Satan.

It's like the vibe shift in the middle of Goodfellas after the Lufthansa heist. The momentum, excitement, glitz and glamor, etc. are no longer on their side, now it's trying to control the infighting, jealousies, competing visions and interests, key people slipping up and not following orders, etc.

And to be clear, I don't mean either the Trump family, or the vulture grifters in his orbit, or the groypers, Claremonsters, postliberals, integralists, neo-Confederates, etc. are going anywhere. And yes, there are 3+ more years of this term.
It's just that "MAGA as we know it" has been fracturing

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

What did Arendt say about the fictional nature of totalitarian movements? Something like they disappear so quickly because nothing was there all along. I forget exactly how she put it.

I don't think MAGA is dead but it certainly seems to be in its dying throes, its Blitzkrieg on democracy from earlier this year has stalled out and the internal contradictions of its fragile coalition that is only held together by a shared rapaciousness and cruelty are ensuring its days are numbered

ICE has just under four years to spend $29.9 billion, they are going to outsource AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to contractors because money is essentially not a problem anymore for the agency.

It's one thing to lead a group of criminals in planning and executing a big heist -- but now that the cops are on the way, the hostages are beginning to stop following orders, and there are disagreements on how to split the bounty, things are quite different

The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics.
The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
