I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation
"It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

As thousands of dedicated public servants are fired tonight, remember that payroll is only 4% of the federal budget. This will not change the federal fiscal position. It will imperil public health and safety, and degrade public services.

The most confusing part? Its unclear why, and the EO they cited in their statement to me doesn't even mention renewable energy.
