NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Just an obvious lie
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

He’s still repeating that lie. Video link in replies.
I hate these people
FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.

BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

To recap: Trump is spending money Congress never appropriated to pay federal employees with guns, and cutting programs and grants even when Congress has appropriated funds.
They literally have a contingency fund for SNAP that they are refusing to use.
No Speaker has done more to weaken Congress.

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

NC5 is now helping bring in food to help hungry families because Governor Lee won’t.

(Other Republican-led states have stepped in to help their folks)

Some other ideas:

Beef jerky sticks
Ravioli cups/ pasta cups
Oatmeal cups
Crackers
Saw this idea on insta, and grabbed some ramen cups, macaroni and cheese cups, and chip bags to have available for trick or treaters.

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

I love how people are using Halloween as an opportunity to help their community, and I’m excited to participate.

Mike Johnson: "On Saturday, things are gonna become very dire."
I look at my kids and am constantly struck by how fast they’re growing, the cruelty of time, etc etc. Let them be kids while they can.
Tired of this nonsense about what kids are too old for trick or treating. They’re still kids! Let them enjoy it ffs.
I promise this isn’t the only incident of this happening
Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business.

If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s.

Here's one! toastedseattle.com
