Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

House Republicans are now seeking to cut the IRS budget by another billion dollars, which would let rich tax cheats off the hook even more.
The IRS is effectively unable to audit private equity, venture capital, and real estate investment firms.
Thousands of workers have been fired from the agency since DOGE and the world's richest man took an ax to it.
Now audits of these giant enterprises have dropped 80 or 90%.

Chemical companies and their trade organizations have argued that the EPA cannot reevaluate hazardous air pollution rules to account for newly discovered harms if it has revised them once already.

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules
In government records that have flown under the radar, the EPA is questioning its legal authority to revise pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks.

Trump is ordering his untrained goon army to go into states that did not vote for him to kill and maim people. That is the story.
If this is about "border protection," from "drug fueled" countries in South and Latin America: why isn't ICE in Texas or Arizona or fucking FLORIDA.
