What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

I guess this is the answer to my question. Rein ICE in by refusing to fund more terrorism.
The Senate will vote on the DHS funding bill next week and it can’t pass without Democratic votes.
That means Democrats have real leverage to rein in ICE, but they won’t use it unless we force them to.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.
Absolutely not.
ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Truly boggling how corrupt he is, and isn't hiding it, since the Supreme Court gave him his kingship.
Trump bought $1 million in Netflix and Warner Bros. bonds after he said he’d be “involved” in deciding whether to approve their mega-merger.
Antitrust merger reviews should be based on law and facts only—not the president’s investments.

Outstanding essay. It's ME first, not America first.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
President Trump “is now basically running our country the way he ran his companies — as a one-man show free to make terrible deals. That management style led to six bankruptcy filings by his companies,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

Opinion | Trump’s Politics Are Not America First. They’re Me First.
Donald Trump is the most un-American president in our history. And in his second term, there is no one to constrain his un-American impulses.

Horrifying!!!
WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs last May.
Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

Two concerns: We need to keep protests nonviolent, even when ICE or others try to incite violence. Trump really wants to send in troops. Second: I am concerned about the slogans about ICE. Let's say "Rein in ICE" or something; the "defund the police" mistake cost elections for dems.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

Chemical companies and their trade organizations have argued that the EPA cannot reevaluate hazardous air pollution rules to account for newly discovered harms if it has revised them once already.
It doesn’t matter if decades have passed or new information has emerged.

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules
In government records that have flown under the radar, the EPA is questioning its legal authority to revise pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks.
