I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.
Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

⚠️ Food banks are undergoing loss of federal funding in advance of SNAP payment stoppages which will dramatically increase demand for food from the pantries the banks supply.
Out today: Feeding Texas estimates that its 20 member banks have lost a total of $57.6 million in federal funding cuts, and that’s only in immediate canceled funding. But this could actually be on the low end of the potential impact range.
Trump’s Federal Cuts Are Hitting Texas Food Banks Hard
Food pantries in the Lone Star State have lost over $50 million in funding this year, with more projected cuts to come.
