Trump’s move to shrink the Social Security Administration could result in some not receiving payments “for months,” a staffer said this week.
The staffer, who worked out of Baltimore and deals with payment systems, warned that nearly a quarter of his team is gone or will soon be gone.

NEW: Thanks very much to @itstygrey.bsky.social for getting me started down this path, but apparently nearly all of these tattoos are NOT from members of Tren de Aragua. Instead, they're stolen from random places on the internet, some nearly a decade old, and from tattoo artists around the world. 🧵
Adding some more context here: The document linked above also has an unclassified ICE HSI list of some Tren de Aragua tattoos and "identifiers."
Wearing a Michael Jordan jersey can get you halfway to being deemed a TDA member, and having a nautical star tattoo can get you the rest of the way!

10,000 people unemployed

Lose their insurance
