ICE is no longer immigration enforcement. It’s a sprawling secret police with a budget bigger than some nations’ armies. No oversight. Questionable training. Just masks, unmarked vans, and executive authority. If you think this stops at the border, you’re not paying attention.

This morning, I saw a teen, dressed in black from head to toe, including a gaiter, jacket and headphones. It was 77 degrees out, so it seemed like an odd choice of clothing for a walk in the park.
Has anyone else seen teens dressing up like ice agents?

This is classic arsonist starts a fire then puts on a firefighter hat and extinguishes it to be the “hero.” And you know he’s just going to keep doing it.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry.
He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud.
This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

An aspect of the normalization of Trump is that if any other President behaved this way there would be wall-to-wall coverage about how terribly irresponsible they were with regards to the U.S. economy and American lives. This is, & I mean it literally, an insane way to govern.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.
While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

I haven't seen any mention of this and I'm concerned. Starlink is being installed at the white house, the FAA, and other agencies. Musk can turn off Starlink at will, as he did in Ukraine. Doesn't that give Musk power over a lot of critical communications? Has anyone seen mention of this anywhere?

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Funny how those in right-wing media spun endless conspiracy webs about Biden being “compromised” over Hunter’s business deals, yet Elon Musk — swimming in foreign ties, gov't contracts, and so much more — gets a free pass. Did they all suddenly run out of red string?
