Tom Homan-Trump’s choice for Border Czar
Said claims that the administration would start mass sweeps of cities was “ridiculous”
Now-as Trump readies the military to conduct mass deportations
Homan promises “shock and awe”

1/ Hey, Bluesky community! Thanks for taking an interest in what we do at @ProPublica.org.
I’ve spent this year reporting on the people and policies to expect in Trump 2.0 — from Project 2025 and attacks on civil servants to MAGA's plan to “eradicate” all mentions of climate change.

Despite foreign influence, billionaires pulling out all stops and losing a candidate 3 months before the election this election was razor close. No there is no mandate for these radicals. That will not stop them, but we can make them PAY FOR IT!

These plans for using the military for mass deportations and domestic ops is much more dangerous than you can imagine. I know because I saw what happened in Iraq. We must rally and push back. Check out my latest post and I hope you'll subscribe for free or paid! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

At 4:03 AM Trump posts that he is prepared to use the military to round up migrants in a mass deportation effort after Mike Johnson, Tony Gonzales & other Republicans spent the weekend saying this was not the case.

Does anyone else get twitchy palms and the urge to kick throats when reading about "rambunctious lives" and having sex with unconscious, non-consenting bodies as NOT actually rape? 🤬
Reminder: When RFK Jr. was asked whether there were additional allegations of sexual assault against him, his response was that he "had a very rambunctious life."
Sexual assault in the Trump Administration/inner circle is a feature, not a bug.

My God, I had missed this about Pete Hegseth: he thinks that if someone passes out drunk, it isn’t rape to have sex with them. So… yay, guess I wasn’t raped in 2012.
Just in case there is any ambiguity: If you’re passed out, you cannot consent to sex. Absent affirmative consent, it’s sexual assault
