What I don’t understand is that the funding really hasn’t changed. At least our federal taxes are still being collected and will still be due. Zero reason for not continuing. Plenty of money to gift to Milei or plenty for our own country? Or if govt shut down is 10%+ of year, do we get 10% back?!?

Stephen Miller’s wife Katie loses her shit and comes complete unglued because she claims that when Cenk said “the Millers lie” that was an anti-Semitic comment. Totally unhinged wacko.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.

For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.

Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

I told the officers nearest to me that I had all my paperwork, including my
U.S. Employment Authorization Card, my Social Security Card, my Florida-issued REAL
ID, and my Mexican Passport.
14. The officers walked me to my car and retrieved my paperwork.
15. The officers reviewed my paperwork and used what I believe was facial
recognition to confirm my identity.
16. At first, they seemed satisfied, but another officer (who appeared to be a
supervisor) said that they could not trust my paperwork because “the Biden Administration
made a lot of mistakes.”

After about 20 minutes in zip-ties, the officers decided that they would not let me go, and they replaced my zip-ties with handcuffs and shackles around my legs.
18. I was in shackles for several hours before the officers finally told me that
they were “giving me a second chance” and let me go.

We first revealed Mobile Fortify in June. It takes the CBP system usually used when people enter or exit the US, and puts it into an app to be used on American streets www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

Joseph Cox @josephcox.bsky.social · 2d

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”
