Wow.
Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.
No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

"Only 16% of Europeans still see the US as an ally, new survey finds"
Are Europeans finally waking up?
A survey published today finds that the proportion of Europeans who view the US as an ally or an adversary are approaching the same levels as how they feel about China.
But European leaders haven't gotten the memo.

Only 16% of Europeans still see the US as an ally, new survey finds
An ECFR survey published today finds a dramatic shift in how Europeans view America. More now see the US as a rival or enemy than as a friend. Conversely, Russians no longer see the US as an enemy.

Russia is likely helping the Iranian regime suppress protests and maintain control in the face of both protests and insurgent attacks. @thestudyofwar.bsky.social on X (not crossposted here, so I am sharing the attached pic & text from the original tweet)
![Russia is likely helping the Iranian regime suppress protests and maintain control in the face of both protests and insurgent attacks. Politico reported on January 13 that Russia supplied Iran with Russian-made Spartak armored vehicles and attack helicopters in recent weeks.[11] Iran received these systems before the protests began, but Iran likely acquired these systems for use in internal disturbances, including protests. Iran is very unlikely to use such equipment in any conventional modern conflict. Israel and the United States, Iran's key adversaries, use long-range missiles and aircraft that could destroy attack helicopters long before the helicopter could engage the aircraft. Attack helicopters are more capable at fighting insurgencies or addressing internal conflicts due to the lack of serious enemy air defenses that could inhibit helicopter operations. [12] Iran is facing both large-scale protests and small insurgent attacks along its borders. Armored vehicles can be used to bolster the regime's efforts to suppress the protests and broader counter-insurgency efforts. Russia previously sent Iran Spartak armored vehicles in 2023, and Iranian border guards began operating them in November 2025[13] These border guards could help support counterinsurgent operations against Balochi or Kurdish militias that operate in border areas and are conducting attacks amid the protests (see below). Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu held a phone call with SNSC Secretary Ali Larijani on January 13, almost certainly to discuss ongoing protests in Iran.[14] Iran previously sought Russia's help to quell protests in 2022[15]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jntveqzl4bagacjrwo722h4l/bafkreied6iwc7yfezi53bv3htxga3kqflh7kf5bf6wugyoqzdj3bi5hfei@jpeg)
