There are only 33 people in America who make a billion dollars or more per year.
Republicans are ready to explode the deficit, shutter hospitals and rob kids of food—
So the top 0.00002% can get a tax cut they don’t need. Read that again.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Boasberg has tied this all up in a double knot; hard to imagine either CA4 of Supreme Court's undoing it--
"Although Defts offer certain soundbite-ready assertions, they cite no legal authority [that they]

YES! The Supreme Court rules that the Trump regime must find the Maryland man they sent to the prison in El Salvador and return him to the US. Major victory! And now we’ll know what’s happening there.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.
Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉
