I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.
The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

We never had to doom scroll past midnight through posts about skyrocketing treasury yields, a collapsing bond market, and plunging stock futures when Joe Biden was president.
The only reason they should have called him Sleepy Joe is because we were able to sleep at night.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

On his #NJ07 tele-town hall just now, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. was asked if he supports the drastic Musk/DOGE cuts & layoffs.
He said "I do support" what the unelected billionaire & his boys are doing.
Does he really believe they're cutting "waste," not vital services?
Seriously, Tom?

If you think this journalist “peddles garbage” then doesn’t it make the fact that he was included in the Signal chat even worse? Nonsense response.
