Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.
Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.
She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.
She. Is. A. Citizen.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

On Tuesday, the GEO group for Delaney property received fire violations. City of Newark, NJ has been in court against this property because the proper permits have not been obtained in order to house detainees. Then the mayor got information that detainees were suddenly actually being housed there>

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

While the federal government has inefficiencies, experts are pointing out that the government workforce has grown little since 1980, and that some agencies and services had already been grappling with staffing shortages, including the Veterans Health Admin and the FAA's air traffic control centers.
