Politically better times to stop this were before ICE was given the money or before the warehouses were bought.
The next best time to stop this is before the warehouses are up and running and a lot of people's wealth and income begins to depend upon them continuing to run and even to be filled up.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

America is hayrides and hay bales. It is haystacks, Donald Trump and growing hay, sitting on the soft hay with a little hay between your teeth and hay in your pocket

Trump’s “fraud crackdown” list is a political hit list. He targets his critics and attacks the watchdogs who actually root out waste.
Meanwhile, he continues to pardon allies who stole millions from taxpayers. The real fraud is pretending Trump is helping the American people.

Fox News, et al., refer to this agency as being part of "law enforcement."
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

I pull for them to win every game and also get the #1 pick. Is that logically consistent? This is sports fandom, what do I care

I'm extremely biased but this starting five, healthy, is actually insane.
The Indiana Pacers just traded for Zubac and are currently tied for the best odds at the 2026 No. 1 pick 👀
With Haliburton healthy next year, how far could this roster — and a potential top pick — go?
