🚨This should be a FAR bigger story than it is.
A far-right group has sent a deportation list to the Trump administration, claiming it is supporting its efforts to deport pro-Palestinian students.
Last week the group tweeted: “Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month.“

So many people on Facebook commenting that AI or robots could do federal employees jobs so Musk should just fire them all. But when you look at their Facebook profiles many of them work jobs in HR or other office jobs and when pressed, none of them think their job can or should be done by AI.

I met Carter years ago at a pharmacy convention. Dude is a real POS.
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia) has introduced a bill to "authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland"—and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland."
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland,” Carter said.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

Indeed. We were promised tariffs would bring back manufacturing, create jobs, haul in revenue. (This isn't true, but it is what Trump/GOP promised.)
Instead we're getting a big nothingburger: Mexico promising to do something meaningless it already did before which didn't help.

We've been here before. In 2019, Mexico deployed 15,000 National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border at Trump's demand. It had zero impact on fentanyl smuggling — because it's not migrants who are smuggling fentanyl in the overwhelming majority of cases. The fentanyl flow continued to rise each year.
