Every time I say I'm shocked by this administration and its enablers, I rebuke myself for being shockable.
But honestly, they keep finding new ways to be despicable.

Here’s what they found:
Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.
Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.
But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.
That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.
Fund care, not punishment.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone
