The Trump Administration set a fake quota for ICE arrests, and are now acting on it by causing chaos in Los Angeles.

They’ve opened up a new frontier in immigration enforcement in America.

POLITICO looks at Trump’s backtracking in:

1. Tariffing China
2. Firing Powell
3. Annexing Canada
4. Bombing Houthis

“.. These limits, both self-imposed and not, are starting to define the contours of an otherwise unbridled presidency.”

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

1. The DOGE website is garbage.

The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.

And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.

So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

New tool reveals Musk has overstated verified DOGE savings by at least 92%
