NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

By an entire parsec, the Trump administration has undertaken the most illegal set of budget actions in history. This is why we desperately need guardrails to restrain and go after budget malfeasance from the White House.

Testing for "approval" in electorate when there is no correlation between which policies people favor/oppose and which become law reveals you have zero theory of change. You do not want to defeat this bill.

If you’d told me 25 yrs ago that It’d be cheaper to deploy solar + batteries vs new gas or coal fired power plants and that bc some idiot grifters are so terrified to admit that climate change exists, we get nonsense like this, I’d have smacked you for being a such a damned fool.

The fragility. It burns.
Imagine the fragile ego require to claim that a student could undermine the Middle East peace process oh wait right this is Marco Rubio we’re talking about.
The Trump administration has said why it's seeking to deport a Columbia student who is a legal permanent U.S. resident: because his activities could “potentially undermine” the Middle East peace process, a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that was reviewed by The New York Times shows.

What we’ve seen since 2016 is the problem that emerges if white people truly start voting like a white identity party. The irony is that as much as right-wing media complained about the Great Replacement theory, they are now making gains with Latinos (esp. men).

Gramsci's famous assessment in the 1930s seems urgently relevant here: "the old world is dying, and the new struggles to be born. In the interregnum, a variety of morbid symptoms appear." Another translation adds the phrase "now is the time of monsters." We face monstrous problems indeed. /5
