Of course I'm no fan of status quo ante FBI, much less DEA, ATF, etc. Hardly ideal on the civil liberties front, the lot of them. Still, not *everything* they do is bogus. Sometimes they do go after actual bad guys doing real bad stuff. Turning that off like flipping a switch is... not a great plan.

It's more of a slow burn relative to everything else going on, but the fact that federal law enforcement for everything other than the immigration thuggery has effectively stopped is going to have consequences.

This doesn't seem great.

“The limits to FPS's authority off federal property are the edges of the constitution on one side and necessity on the other.”

"There is simply no legal barrier to FPS taking action off federal property where a reasonable nexus to protecting that property exists."

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:
DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property
In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

Farmers are getting hot hard by tariffs locking them out of the Chinese market. There's talk of a bailout.

So obviously Republicans are cutting a billion dollars to buy fresh produce for schools...

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Trump gets boosted.
His followers get buried.

If you haven’t gotten your updated COVID or flu shot yet go do it. Science doesn’t care about politics, but politics sure cost us a lot of lives.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Reminder: the President may be allowing his secretary to undermine access to vaccines for others and promote anti vaccine misinformation, but he himself is fully vaccinated, including this year’s flu and Covid vaccine.

In this, do as the president does, not as his secretary ‘s ACIP minions say.
