A HUGE part, and I've noticed this since I was a snot-nosed 20-something telecom beat reporter, is that widespread U.S. corruption is genuinely not a consistent contextual presence in mainstream corporate press narratives
I admired the spirit of @ossoff.bsky.social's line of attack against Donald Trump—that his "is the most corrupt administration of all time, and everybody knows it." The problem is, it's not actually true. Everybody does not know it. We should examine why. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.
The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

“Ethics waiver.”
The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

ICE needs a military-sized budget because it is at war with the United States.
ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran.
ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:
