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.

Israel's military censor ordered a news org to pull a story about Netanyahu's son buying a UK apartment (in cash, for almost $600,000).

The censor "generally only intervenes if a publication contains information that could threaten national security"

While most Dems have focused on the draconian cuts to vital programs for those most in need, I have focused on the epic fiscal irresponsibility of this bill caused by massive tax cuts and huge spending increases in defense and DHS. Both equally important. There’s a lot to hate.

Despite all his bluster about fighting gangs, Trump’s corrupt bargain with Salvadoran Pres. Bukele is doing the opposite — covering up evidence of Bukele’s own dealings with MS-13 and undermining US efforts to fight the gang.
