Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.
Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits.

I chose not to watch the Orange Troll’s speech tonight. Instead, I chose to binge watch one of my favorite shows. I’m streaming “American Greed.” Yes, I see the irony.

Someone suggested binge watching something other than the news for a while to reduce the stress brought on by the events of the last two weeks. So I’ve been obsessively watching “American Greed.” I may have chosen poorly.

So all the good work that Lutheran Social Services do with children, foster care, adoption, day care, services for special needs children & adults, senior and family services can just be ended by a criminal and a megalomaniac billionaire? Are there no rules/laws and recourse? Insanity!

So the party that is outlawing abortion and birth control is now cutting off financial support to Lutheran Family Services which has historically provided child adoption services. I know thus because my late mother's adoption was thru them in 1929.
So..... WTF?

Eh idk attacking Lutheran Family Services is not a good move... They’re a massive non profit faith based organization that works with youth and families- including adoption services. Republicans fund those organizations. I can imagine many of the employees vote R and many R donors donate to them

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

Missing from this discussion is that Lutheran Family Services provides behavioral health, early intervention for young children, kinship care for kids in foster care, and a host of other things. These places have budgets stretched to the limit to provide care for the most vulnerable.

Lutheran Family Services provides affordable mental health services to people who could not otherwise afford it. What do they think this organization does with the money?

Elon Musk Stops Payments To Lutheran Family Services On The Advice Of Michael Flynn - Lawyers, Guns & Money
It’s possible that Elon is just trolling us all, but he seems to have real government records. Lutheran Family Services operates elder care in South Dakota. These payments are probably Medicare and Medicaid. And Michael Flynn? Josh Marshall has a thread on what he’s found. This is from the middle of it. Seems like it’s […]

Elon Musk and DOGE are now publicly targeting Lutheran groups for cuts.
Among those listed: Global Refuge (formerly LIRS), one of 6 faith-based groups that have long helped the govt resettle refugees.
Not clear why Musk contends this funding, which is longstanding and well known, is "illegal."

I venture to say that Lutheran Family Services do more good for more Americans than Elon Musk and Mike Flynn ever have or every will.
Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down
Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?
