Deeply sick stuff, but they'll be lucky if they can reach even 2 million deportations at the current rate they're going. As @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social tells me in this piece, they won't be able to deport even half the undocumented population: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.
ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.
