Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Tired: Job growth across 9 non-government industries
Wired: Smaller job growth across 5 non-government industries
Both are 1-year job "growth" charts, for January 2025 and 2026.
Best sector under both was "Private education and health services." Under Biden up ~950k, and under Trump up 775k.

It has nothing to do with any of this and Rogers knows it. But he would rather sell out his state than stand up to Trump. This is Trump protecting a billionaire losing the monopoly he’s enjoyed for many years. Coward Rogers should lose the senate race just on this alone.
