Ok, week one and where are we? I've come to the conclusion that the branches of gov are a game of rock, paper, scissors and the orange turd and his project 2025 minions have come in with a mallet. The checks and balances are not going to save us from this dictatorship

3:00am and hitting the ice cream. Images of the WH being destroyed keeping me awake. He, and his thoroughly corrupt and morally and ethically challenged cronies, need to be stopped now. But how? Somehow, I don't think ice cream is the answer.

People tooling around on the river in their amphibious car without a care in the world. Wanted to scream at them "Don't you know democracy in the US as we knew it ended yesterday?" But I don't think they would have heard me. 😡

Every fucking R that voted for this bill should be primaried and then condemned to sitting in the 🍊💩's shitter with him after a marathon meal of many, many McD's filet o'fish - on a time loop for eternity

Besides the (by now very realistic) nightmare scenarios, there are more mundane political implications: this is a police force that can be used to affect elections. I predict that it will be deployed to discourage voting in Democratic strongholds in the next elections.
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.

Lindsey Graham doesn't want you to know the name of his opponent but will try every last pathetic attempt to save his seat.
My name is Lee Johnson. I am a Democrat running to retire Lindsey. If you are with me I need you to share this and follow my account. Let’s end this nightmare.

I love it when my Representatives hold Press Conferences.
I wish they could arrange to mic the press so we can hear the questions, not just the answers. OR they could restate the question to make their responses more coherent!
