Fascinating that a number of those refugees here are likely due to Facebook's spreading of misinformation that led to murders and chaos.

The administration just announced the end of TPS status designation for Burma, which will affect anyone from Burma in the U.S. with TPS status right now.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

Unsealed when? Yesterday?
Last month? Last year? 3 years ago?
If the information is true (with social media. it is getting harder and harder to tell), the timing does matter IMO.
And why would this be sealed in the first place?

Social media taught us that our untrained, unprofessional, uninformed opinion is not only wanted, but valid.
So people think they need opinions about things they know nothing about.
