I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

There are numerous tax cuts and loopholes in the "big, beautiful bill."
But it boils down to this simple fact:
Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and meals from millions of people.

Trump hasn't done a lick to address rising grocery costs despite campaigning to bring them down on "day one."
And his CDC deleted reports on the spread of bird flu, which is driving up egg prices.
But don't worry, he just promised an executive order to bring back plastic straws.

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work.
