What can you do today? Traveling for the holiday? Know your rights and share with others. #staysafe
If you’re flying this holiday season, know your rights before heading to the airport.
Know Your Rights | Enforcement at the Airport | ACLU
At the border, you are likely to encounter Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, and you may encounter Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. HSI is part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Know your rights in these scenarios.

We can greatly exaggerate their success but we should not underestimate the damage it did to real people and families.
DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

Musk said the initiative would save at least $1 trillion. But its website claims to have reached only $214 billion.

I was an Eagle Scout.
I learned more about military planning than any course by supporting the USMA camporee that I ran my senior year---a tradition of over 60 years.
Scouting was my path to three decades in the Army.
This is a self own. And it will cost us.
