Starting to wonder if functionally shutting down FBI and normalizing masked heavily-armed men demanding entry to homes has made US less safe?

The order PERMANENTLY BARS TRUMP from freezing funds, canceling states’ buildout plans, or interfering with the program. In short: The 50 states, DC & Puerto Rico now have certainty needed to build a nationwide charging network FREE from the threat of unlawful interference!

El Paso TFR is not like the 9/11 nationwide airspace shutdown. DC & NY restrictions were created later. A ban on all flights over a U.S. city—including medevac and police helicopters—has no modern precedent.-CNN

Even the folks in r/aviation have no idea what the fuck is going on in El Paso, especially because the airspace restriction is only up to 18,000 feet.

The FAA has issued a separate security NOTAM for Santa Teresa, New Mexico, banning all flight operations in the affected area for the same time window and altitude limits as the El Paso airspace closure, citing “special security reasons.”

Here's what I don't understand: the majority of the immigrants are out in society supporting themselves and paying taxes. The government wants to round them up and put them in prisons where we have to pay all their expenses. How does this save us money or prevent them from collecting welfare?

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

This is what the folks in Congress do with the small amount of time they spend doing their job. I’m fairly certain constituents would prefer they work on more pressing matters, such as healthcare, job creation, immigration reform, affordable housing, almost anything else but this.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

WHY has no one in the Epstein Files been charged? Epstein and his girlfriend, and literally no one else.
DOJ has spent more time and resources protecting the criminals than investigating them. Even as a blanket cover-up it doesn't make sense.

Several survivors of Epstein's global child trafficking ring are now dangerously exposed because the DOJ is either spectacularly sloppy or trying to intimidate people. Or both.

What pisses me off more than anything is the rabid coverage the traditionally important press gave to the Biden family in all things negative and the virtual silence given to this group of self dealing conmen. They have let this country down immeasurably, historically, in every way possible.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Republican tax cuts are REALLY helping America's wealthy donor class ... that's swell.
While the rest of us suffer under the weight of having to pay to keep the gov't running, large corporations are paying up to 86% less in taxes.

Holding ICE to the same standards as state and local law enforcement isn't unreasonable. Upholding our constitutional rights isn’t either.
