Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

A tool. A dull one.
GALLEGO: You have no independence to make a decision whether the president deserves $10 billion?

BESSENT: Again, that is a DOJ matter

G: So the DOJ will entirely make that decision? You have no say?

B: Correct

G: So would you just have to write the check if you were told to write it?

B: Correct

“If you read or share only one article today, make it this:

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

This is what oligarchy is about:

If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

Schumer cave-in to Pedo Trump 🤝 cut a last-minute deal to avoid a shutdown — sacrificing the DHS funding bill and punting ICE oversight into a short-term CR.

Government stays open.
ICE accountability delayed.
House approval still uncertain.

This isn’t a solution — it’s a pause.
