6/ The federal shelter system was set up to house and help reunite "unaccompanied" immigrant children with family in the U.S., usually after the kids crossed the border alone.
Now the system has been turned on its head. The administration is “creating unaccompanied children," one advocate told us.

5/ Over and over, all over the country, that's all it took: a traffic stop.
We counted around 150 kids who ended up in federal shelters — oftentimes separated from their families — because they were in a vehicle that got pulled over.

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

"Everyday Americans" translation: people that do actual work for a living
Private jets for a cabinet secretary. Renovations for a ballroom and bathroom. And now a revamp for a golf course…
This president has plans to help improve everything except the lives of everyday Americans.

ICE claims it was a mistake. Sighting, they thought he was the person they were looking for.

"It’s proof that the American right has spent better part of the last decade letting algorithmic spam tell them what they want to hear, astroturfing themselves into believing that some silent majority out there believes in their worthless MAGA crusade."
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

ICE raids have terrorized families, deported lawful residents, & shattered communities. Masked officers throwing people into unmarked vehicles sounds like something out of a horror movie, not America.
