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.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice.
The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.
Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.
We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.
