It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Q: "A 75-year-old Cuban national died in lCE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years. Is there anything you can tell us about that?"
Tom Homan: "People die in lCE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”
She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

This is not a draining of the swamp or “low-productivity workers” that the Trump administration imagines filling seats at the CDC—but the future of our epidemiology infrastructure.

News: Half of CDC "disease detectives" terminated. DOGE takes aim at US disease surveillance.
Entire first-year class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service must be out by 5 p.m., sources say. Also: a major CDC contractor "just let go," and others may follow.

Federal public health workers across HHS were terminated.
We focus a lot on the CDC, but premier public health workers are at all HHS agencies, and HHS cut over 5200 workers today.
Probation is 1 year for regular staff, 2 years for management level, and 1 year for newly promoted supervisors
