Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?
“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.”

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?
Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

Yeah, this is *bananas*. I think it’s approximately _double_ the usual monthly churn? For subscription service, that’s a sky-is-falling change in metrics. People get fired for .5% increases in churn at that scale.
This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.
