You mean like the money Congress appropriated for USAID or the Department of Education or NPR - money you just decided you weren’t going to spend? *Those* kinds of appropriations?

Fuck all the way off, Trump administration

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck.

Wonder where they got the idea😬

Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

It’s sickening that even what should be a staid, informative press conference at the Pentagon over a bomb attack devolves into a gross, slavish adoration of Trump’s “greatness” with a slam at Joe Biden thrown in for absolutely no reason

There is no way I can convey the complexity of the systems in a B747 but if you think there are no security concerns in the US president flying one that comes from a foreign government then you are naive to the point of stupid.
