Sean Duffy articulates with clarity what America's golden age will look like: you will drive a Ford station wagon that guzzles gasoline, pollutes the environment, and will kill you dead if you get into an accident... and you will love it.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Florida is sending random undocumented immigrants pulled over in traffic stops to the Everglades detention camp, and because the whole thing was set up haphazardly, they still don’t have any easy way to find out if someone is detained there (like at any normal detention center or jail).
Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law.

There are no end game metrics to the ICE detention program. No rules, no standard of engagement, no clear goals. It's reactive, uncalibrated, open-ended, shapeless, unaccountable, sloppy, and blindly quantitative.

The proposed budget is larger than the FBI, DEA, ATF, and IRS/Treasury combined.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

2. He disrespects them by saying he "rebuilt the military" in 4 months. The military is already larger than the next top 10 nations combined.

Fun fact: Democratic women make up only 22% of the House of Representatives, but have submitted 52% of the 537 amendments to this heartless reconciliation package.

Mother is a verb as well as a noun, so I hope everyone can honor whatever mothers them and whatever capacity to mother they have, or the equivalent in whatever gender language works for them.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

This is how to respond to the Abrego Garcia issue! Thank you, Mayor Pete!
The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.
