I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

“The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.”🤯
Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

I’ve been genuinely astounded at how quickly & effectively RFK Jr & his allies—Drs Prasad, Bhattacharya, Makary, Høeg, Oz, & Kulldorff—have been able to dismantle the US vaccination system, including vaccine R&D
I thought guardrails might slow them, but nope

On Thursday, "Border Czar" Tom Homan announced that Operation Metro Surge is de-escalating and ICE will draw down its presence in Minnesota soon. This is great news if it actually happens, but Minnesotans remain wary, and their masked maruaders may only be redeployed to other cities around the nation. It would be great to see a local reduction in harm, but there's much damage still to recover from, and a big need for financial help that has by no means disappeared. We're continuing Fork ICE …
