Focus on the size of Trump’s budget for immigration police! It appears he has more in mind than immigrants? The FBI is around $11 billion. The entire US Army is at some $800 billion. ICE probably did not spend $10 billion in 2024 on enforcement. What is going on with ICE getting close to a TRILLION?

Sadly correct, thanks to Trump and his GOP. It’s going to take a long time to repair the damage he is doing, and will continue to do.

The only people with any confidence in Donald Trump‘s handling of the economy are his hard-core base. When he starts falling into the 30s, which I expect soon, it will be more telling of the feeling that his supporters will not admit publicly.

In case you had not noticed, House Republican leaders want to prevent Congress from restricting Donald Trump‘s insane use of tariff powers. Hopefully this effort can be blocked/filibustered by Senate Democrats.

Just returned from San Diego to visit Alex Butterfield on his 99th birthday. I was stunned that the New York Times all but ignored the seriousness of the current financial crisis with a London based story. Apparently, they thought it would disappear by Sunday? WRONG!

Congress (this weekend) could cancel Trump’s tariffs which are clearly destroying the USA’s (nay, the World’s) economy. It only takes a veto proof resolution by the House and Senate:

These don’t fit. Trump says Musk will lead Doge. Gov says Musk not part of Doge. Judges don’t like this kind of shady game playing. This will explode on Musk.
