They actually have been doing this some, I hear. But you know, losing TSA Precheck seems like a pretty okay sacrifice for grinding fascism into dust
And for folks now fearing “what if they revoke my TSA precheck,” well lately the precheck line at PHL is longer than the regular line, so... 😂😂

Genuine question about Senate Democrats' new demands re: DHS funding:

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

All the Western leaders waxing lyrical about the International Rules Based Order have allowed this to happen contrary to --- checks notes --- the International Rules Based Order.
Death in Gaza isn’t limited only to drones, gunfire, artillery shelling, infectious diseases, or the grinding famine. It can come, too, from the very act of eating, after a prolonged period of starvation. Malnutrition has already claimed hundreds of lives, yet in Gaza, even food can kill.
In Gaza, We’re Struggling to Reintroduce Foods to Bodies Adjusted to Starvation
A sudden influx of nutrients after famine can cause spikes in blood glucose and fatal electrolyte imbalances.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
