“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.

Habeas corpus, is a legal writ that demands a person in custody be brought before a court to determine the legality of their detention. It's a fundamental protection against unlawful imprisonment, ensuring individuals are not held without due process.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

In April 2024, Trump asked Big Oil execs for a $1 billion donation in exchange for deregulation and tax cuts.
Who helped broker Trump's dealings with Big Oil?
Doug Burgum — who testified today before the Senate to be Trump's secretary of the interior.

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.
Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.
