The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Good point!
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It sounds like China is done playing nicely with the withered, old, fermented tyrannical tangerine who holds power in only America.
If you think that China can't or won't show up on our collective door steps then you've not been paying attention.

ICE is lawless . . .
Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that ICE is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
ICE generally doesn't comply with their orders, and continues to engage in the same unlawful conduct.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.
