I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Gov. Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to CA following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice.
Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

10000 days ago (November 13, 1997), Colorado OF Larry Walker is named National League MVP. Yes, I know, Coors Field, ballpark effects, altitude, yadda yadda. Maybe so, but nobody else was out there hitting .360 with 49 home runs while stealing 30+ bases and winning a Gold Glove.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Wired’s coverage these last two weeks has been exceptional. Truly the best kind of reporting. A worthy place for your subscription dollars.
DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.
For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.
Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
