The fascist regime has now funded what every fascist regime wants: an unaccountable paramilitary entity, operating outside and beyond the control of the military, judicial, and state/local systems, and primed to transform into an all-purpose repression force, likely to foster death squads.
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Destroy the little bit of a safety net we still provide as you give more money to those who already have it, all while giving unprecedented funding to federal law enforcement in the midst of a president seeking to unconstitutionally and illegally use federal law enforcement.

What could go wrong?

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Disgusting. Partisanship, greed and cowardice in equal measure. I hope (but do not expect, sadly) that Trump, Johnson, and every single GOP member burns.

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls.

Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11.

The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors.
FCC blocks ban on prison phone price gouging, benefiting top Trump donors
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will no longer enforce a rule capping the price of prison phone calls, according to an announcement made Monday by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening
Helluva @notusreports.bsky.social scoop showing that Trump has no idea what's in his budget bill. Seems like something that ought to get a lot more attention.

Also this: a republican house member actually admits that they are attacking medicaid. Yes, they are.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

Terms that everyone on this platform should be familiar with.

Starve the beast

Social Darwinism

Nothing that is happening right now has anything to do with corporate or billionaire greed. That is the distraction. It’s all about confiscation.

Now google the above.
