whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.

Alec is amazing. The first hour of this is a great explainer about renewable energy. The last half hour is vital to our democracy. That sounds like a very weird combo (and it kind of is), but it's absolutely needed in the current time.
Well done, Alec.

Hey @salinas.house.gov ! How about now? Now will you sign on to impeach Noem and work to abolish ICE?
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.
It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel
FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal
On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)
Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifrzrvaszfhj4bzhgtyvx3fm6ht4kc2zrwtvozijyxl3zxgp7vx6a@jpeg)

@salinas.house.gov given your recent speech on the house floor about ICE's illegal actions, will you sign on to this bill?
I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring.
We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering.
It’s time to start melting ICE.

"Trump needs to get back to the real work of solving the affordability crisis."
Good God. We are so far past that point. He's got his goons sieging Minneapolis, he's still protecting pedophiles, and he said he doesn't see why we should have elections. Impeach. Lead or get out of the way.

The Trump Administration is sending ICE to terrorize our communities, barring Members of Congress from conducting ICE oversight, all while avoiding the affordability crisis they created.

Jingle All the Way includes a scene where Phil Hartman's character sexually assaults a woman. So that's on brand.
My first thought when I see Donald Trump running away from a crowd while holding something of value?
Definitely the idea that he’s selflessly delivering it to someone else.

As both an Eagle Scout and Scout Leader, I can say for certain that Hegseth has no idea what he is talking about. Scouting America is a leadership program. Scouts go on to be business, civic, and MILITARY leaders. Hegseth's harming future recruiting and pissing off many CURRENT military leaders.
