This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Where is Jonathan Ross?
A month ago he killed Renee Good. Is he on the streets, armed and ready to take more lives? Is he in a cushy office somewhere, living a good life off the taxpayer dime. Is he at a training facility, teaching feds to step in front of cars, kill, and say they were afraid?

That’s it, exactly. ICE is trying to figure out how to make us scared. They tried following us home, didn’t work. Tried threatening us with arrest, didn’t work. Tried arresting us, didn’t work. Tried tear-gassing us, didn’t work. People just keep not being afraid of them and following them around.
DHS went into this quagmire with a blank playbook and in the subsequent weeks they’ve done nothing but flail around waiting for people to be afraid of them. Or, in other words:
any federal agencies born after 2001 can’t cook. all they know is wear mask, drive badly, make martyrs, do racism and lie
any federal agencies born after 2001 can’t cook. all they know is wear mask, drive badly, make martyrs, do racism and lie
One ICE guy stopped in the middle of a road in the middle of a block and turned on his lights, and it was thrilling to watch a whole fleet of commuters pull up one by one, parking at the top and bottom of the block, ahead, behind, covering all the exits, a kind of police standoff in reverse

So (7) says to preserve—but strikes me more as create—the right of state and local govts to file criminal charges in excessive force cases.
Details will matter, but if that’s a statutory waiver of supremacy clause immunity, that strikes me as potentially a REALLY big deal.

Once you decided to curry favor with Trump, you can't allow the Post to be a respected, potential critic of the Trump government. Will the Post be a right-wing outlet, or totally dysfunctional, or liquidated? It doesn't really matter. Bezos gets huge financial benefit as long as it's neutralized.

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
