Of course the Trumps’ massive payday from the UAE — prior to the White House easing chip restrictions on the UAE — is a huge national security risk and financial conflict of interest. And a GOP-led Congress won’t do anything about it:

I don’t believe Tom Homan. I think this is a ploy to get @democrats.senate.gov to fund DHS. They lied about deescalation last week and I don’t believe a word the Cava Czar says.

Trump 'border czar' Tom Homan says 700 immigration officers will be withdrawn from Minnesota immediately.

Roughly 3,000 officers are currently deployed in the state.

The average public school in the U.S. has 500 students. ICE is currently detaining over 7 schools' worth of children, many of whom are being held in inhumane conditions.

Children do not belong in government detention.
Black graphic with a shape of a child's head filled with red dots to symbolize kids in ICE detention. White and red text reads "ICE has detained at least 3,800 children under the second Trump administration."

Again, not once has the media asked “Can we afford ICE?” the way they obsessed about affordability with Biden’s student loan debt relief or Obama’s health care plan. And the media surely isn’t going to ask “Can we afford this?” about this crazy military spending increase 🤔🤷‍♂️
