With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Thank you for your service and your support of AmeriCorps, @crow.house.gov
Service makes our nation better, and AmeriCorps enables Coloradans to serve our community.
I brought together Lieutenant Governor Primavera, Serve Colorado & local leaders to discuss how President Trump’s cuts to AmeriCorps will hurt Colorado.

When you start to hear the real human stories, the true costs of this callous decision really start to hit home.
Like the 167 kids from Waldo County—many of whom have experienced poverty—who were able to participate in a wonderful 4H camp, thanks to an AmeriCorps program.
Not anymore. (2/4)

Introducing Alternative AmeriCorps: a growing movement of staff, volunteers, and supporters who stand united in defense of national service.
We're fighting back against unelected billionaires and modern-day robber barons as they attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps and erase three decades of progress.

COMMENTARY: What happens when there’s no AmeriCorps to help after the next disaster?
Trump and DOGE’s dismantling of AmeriCorps will hurt its workers and disaster relief efforts, and contribute to the disintegration of our democracy.

What We Lose When America Loses AmeriCorps
Trump and DOGE placed most of AmeriCorps’ employees on leave, gutting the agency that supports national and community service and disaster relief.

Since Hurricane Helene hit, Americorps NCCC teams have been on the ground in western NC delivering resources to victims, repairing homes, and leading volunteer efforts. The federal government is making a mistake taking them off the job. The people of NC need them to complete their mission.

I know the economics of baseball are broken and the MLB is free falling, but It is still so sad that the Rockies have decided not even to attempt to be competitive. It seems like the owners should sell.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:
Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba
They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!
