It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.

Authoritarianism in plain sight.
Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.
She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

If any assignment editors are reading -- I bet a full accounting of all the financial support Elon Musk and his companies received from the federal government would make for great reading when he inevitably tells all the poors they have to start making sacrifices.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Anyone else get the feeling that Jared Kushner’s Middle East Peace mission was a criminal scheme that involved selling his position, secret intel and himself to hostile foreign actors for money to help settle his debts?
