A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Trickle down economics has always been bullshit propaganda designed to convince working Americans to let the oligarchs pick their pockets
This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.
