Funding for more money for ICE requires 60 votes in the senate.
Get on your phones and call your Democratic Senator with a clear NO.

I reckon there have been more mentions of the word "genocide" in Australia's mainstream media in the last two days than in the previous two years.

One small upside to these rushed, illiberal "hate" laws that government ministers can't seem to explain:
I've never heard so much "Are people allowed to say '𝑰𝒔𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆'?" in mainstream media interviews. Galling that govt can't answer, good that even Karl Stefanovic is asking.

I'm excited to announce I'm doing a new Bloomberg column about the business of fashion. The first column is about how we can re-shore US garment manufacturing. Instead of mass deportations and raising tariffs, I argue the government should move the industry upstream:

SA? One agent was caught on video taking a bound female protester into a porta-potty...ICE required background checks, personality tests and 5 mos of training. Per Trump/Noem, they're down to 6 wks training, and zero background checks. ICE could be convicted rapists, murderers,pedos masked and armed
