I suppose one silver lining of the DOGE experiment, which yielded little else of value, is that we now have some precedent suggesting Trump's successor can raze ICE to the ground and salt the earth by executive fiat.
“They put Trump’s name on the trucks.

This is the clearest possible signal that ICE is intended to be a personal, partisan police force that exists at the disposal of Trump.

This is not a choice someone makes if they intend to leave office in three years.”

This new report shows how Trump's Department of Justice has turned into a corrupt pay-for-play system that harms our economy and leaves Americans paying the price.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

The 280 beds are opening at a pre-existing jail known as the “Work Ethic Camp” (seriously), a minimum security facility designed for prisoners eligible for rehab and work release.

Considering the facility is reportedly only 200 beds, it’s not clear whether they intend to build a new wing or what.

Hey, Literally Every Media Outlet,

It's not a Ukraine-Russian war; it's Ukraine defending itself against Russian occupation and annihilation.

When an American President stands alongside a murderous dictator and declares to trust that man more than our public servants across the aisle, more than our nation’s Press, he’s stepped out into the stark light of day and revealed himself.

Democrats said defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would impact the emergency alert and warning system. Republicans called that “lying and fearmongering”.

Trump has attacked and undermined vital nonpartisan data, including:

-BLS monthly jobs numbers
-DC crime statistics
-EPA emissions database
-NOAA & National Weather Service forecasting

Like every dictator, Trump knows the major enemy of tyrants is an educated public.

The glacial lake outburst flood at Mendenhall is still just beginning and waters are already higher than last year's damaging peak. Depending on how quickly the lake drains, it could unfortunately be a record flood for Juneau. I hope residents have had the support they need to prepare and evacuate.

Thou shalt not complain about crime in D.C. when you’re a convicted felon who incited a violent mob to attack Congress with the goal of hanging your own vice-president.

Oh also, thou shalt not complain about crime when you just transferred a convicted pedophile to a luxury resort prison.
