Boosting ICE funding is bipartisan. This column chart shows ICE funding from 2016–2025. In red are Trump budgets, from 2018–2021. In blue are Biden budgets, from 2022–2025. ICE funding went from $6.8 billion in 2017 to $8.4 billion in 2021, to $10 billion in 2025. The 2025 budget passed after Biden left office but largely continued 2024 funding. ICE spending rose by less than $50 million. Data: CRS, Public Law 119–4. Source: https://www.stephensemler.com/p/boosting-ice-budgets-is-bipartisan

"All major transformations, whether political, institutional, or social, over the past two centuries have been achieved with a reduction in inequalities and a form of movement toward equality. Climate change, the great challenge of the century, will not escape this rule for a simple reason: as soon as you make major transformations, you have consequences on the distribution of efforts. And the only way to achieve these transformations is to do so in a fair manner."

7 out of 9 planetary boundaries breached. Not great!
From the first page of the Executive Summary of the report linked in the quoted post: The Planetary Health Check (PHC) report provides an assessment of the state of our planet. It is based on the Planetary Boundaries (PBs) – the nine processes that are known to regulate the stability, resilience (ability to absorb disruptions) and life-support functions of our planet. Each of these processes, such as Climate Change or Ocean Acidification, is currently quantified by one or two control variables. The 2025 PHC report concludes that seven out of nine Planetary Boundaries have been breached, with all of those seven showing trends of increasing pressure – suggesting further deterioration and destabilization of planetary health in the near future (Fig. ES 1). FIGURE ES 1 - Planetary Health at a glance. Just as a blood test provides insights into a human body's health and identifies areas of concern, this Planetary Health Check evaluates the 13 measured control variables across the 9 Planetary Boundary (PB) processes to report on Earth’s stability, resilience, and life-support functions – the overall health of our planet. The 2025 assessment shows that seven of the nine PBs have been breached: Climate Change, Change in Biosphere Integrity, Land System Change, Freshwater Change, Modification of Biogeochemical Flows, Introduction of Novel Entities, and Ocean Acidification. All of these show increasing trends, suggesting further deterioration in the near future. Two PB processes remain within the Safe Operating Space: Increase in Atmospheric Aerosol Loading (improving global trend) and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion (currently stable).

A graph from the Pew Research Center titled "On average, Congress has become more conservative over the past five decades". It plots the average ideology of members of congress, in both the House and the Senate, based on their DW-NOMINATE scores. It shows an overall steady movement toward being more conservative from the 1970s to 2022, with the Senate generally being more conservative than the House.
