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.

This is what a lot of us have been worried about.
This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs.

Defense Secretary Hegseth must go, using unsecured Signal endangers lives
Text SIGN PMODWN to 50409 — The reported actions of Secretary Hegseth in sharing sensitive operational details about the Yemen strikes through unclassified private channels raise grave national security concerns. Leaking classified information, even inadvertently to personal contacts, is an egregious breach of protocols safeguarding intelligence. This compromises operational security and risks undermining the military's ability to carry out its mission safely and effectively.
Such lapses in judgment from the Defense Secretary are unacceptable. They demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding about protecting classified information that jeopardizes national security.
Enough is enough.
Restoring confidence in the leadership of the Pentagon is paramount. Thorough investigations must be conducted to ensure no classified information was actually exposed, and stringent disciplinary measures should follow if violations are confirmed.
The apparent mishandling of intelligence by the highest defense official is extremely concerning. Urgent action is needed to address this breach and prevent future incidents that could put American personnel and operations at risk around the world.

Trump has revoked a U.S. citizen’s Social Security benefits in the hopes they would leave the country.
This comes after the administration filed 6,000 immigrants into the SSA’s “death master file,” stripping them of their legal ability to work and receive benefits.

STOP TRUMP. THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL EMERGENCY
Text SIGN PUYADG to 50409 — This is a constitutional emergency.
El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do.
So now there is no more rule of law.
No Habeas corpus.
No authority of scotus.
Trump can have anyone captured, detained and sent to a foreign concentration camp.
YOU MUST STOP THIS.
Who will be next?
