It is true that no one has grasped this scope.
But there are ways to deal with it.
First, track the way that Kristi Noem is converting it to personal grift, like her propaganda campaign.
Next, illustrate how this is a funding shift, from things Americans like to body snatching they hate.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The judge should order everyone involved to be held in contempt *behind bars* until Belloza is returned to her home.

![During World War II, British intelligence was able to glean details of new German technologies simply by considering their code names. For instance, when they heard of a new system known as Wotan, Reginald Victor Jones asked around and found that Wotan was a one-eyed god. Based on this, he guessed it was a radio navigation system using a single radio beam. This proved correct, and the Royal Air Force was able to quickly render it useless through jamming.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mes2cq5c4kbe2gc64u7yxblm/bafkreib4i5xnvodzolj24afczrmnlbnupviuic6ohwtoplwazofcmm4qja@jpeg)

Trump wants the next presidential inauguration to, unconstitutionally, be him -- and he wants it inside a big ballroom with an underground bunker to keep the 1 million citizens wanting to storm the White House to prevent this at bay
"The latest plan, which officials said was still preliminary, calls for a ballroom much larger than the West Wing and the Executive Mansion. Mr. Trump has said publicly that he would like a ballroom big enough to hold a crowd for a presidential inauguration."

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
