It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Who voted for more concentration camp beds than all of the prison beds in the country, and more ICE thugs than US Marine corpsman?
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Monstrous:

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Waste, fraud and abuse, all three.
"A child is dying of malnutrition about every 15 seconds, and meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers have already purchased 185,000 boxes of Plumpy'Nut that taxpayers own that is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island gathering dust."

War crimes
“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Trump is having a hard time understanding why Panama, Canada and Greenland haven’t nominated Donald for the Nobel Peace prize.
Trump is whining that he won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize “no matter what I do.”

Trump has already seen what health inspectors can do to his ratchet golf course restaurants and that’s why he doesn’t want officials visiting his concentration camps.

Fox apparently overlying fake “crowd cheers” during the speech. Does Kamala get to sue fox for “ten billion $“ for this obvious fraud? I guess we know why trump hates pbs.
This is why your Fox News-watching relatives think half the country supports Donald Trump. Notice Fox doesn’t turn the camera to the crowd. 👀

“Iran would never launch missiles if (trump) were president”, is holding up well.
Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

To be clear, ICE is disguising themselves and lying to elementary and middle school officials in order to infiltrate schools, and kidnap American citizen children so that they can abduct and deport one or more of the child’s immigrant parents.

Masked agents making warrantless arrests with a “do what you need to do” mandate.

"In Irvine, Calif., ICE agents drove a phalanx of military vehicles ... seeking a resident’s son who had allegedly posted fliers alerting neighbors to the presence of ICE agents"

We said we wanted the government to “protect our kids from armed gunman”, not “send armed gunman to kidnap kids.”
the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
