Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

You're in the Trump administration, or you're a Republican in Congress. You consider yourself a decent person. You lack the nerve directly to contradict Trump. But you COULD post your own comment on Rob Reiner to make clear Trump wasn't speaking for you.

Sadly, no domestic food banks anymore. Maybe hunger is going to move people to vote.

I think anyone who is remotely serious about winning the Dem nomination in ‘28 must be ironclad on four points.
1. Abolishing ICE
2. Vigorously prosecuting and all Trump admin criminal acts
3. Razing anything Trump has slapped his name on - on day one
4. Reforming the Supreme Court

Having a chat and agents verifying my identity 5 times in a row as I get transferred to different departments is good basis for an accessible and secure customer service.
It would be beneficial if they could actually also answer questions and help resolve problems.
