ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

The Trump administration is considering restricting entry to citizens of an additional 36 countries, in what would be a significant expansion of the travel ban announced early this month, according to a State Department memo.
Trump administration considers adding 36 countries to travel ban list
An internal memo reviewed by The Post sets a 60-day deadline for the targeted nations to conform with certain requirements, or face a full or partial entry ban.

Notable clip today👇 in light of the news that the Trump administration successfully pressured ABC into suspending Moran
Reposting by request the exchange from Trump's ABC interview about Abrego Garcia's tattoos here on Bluesky 👇👇👇
TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed!
MORAN: That was photoshopped
TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.

Eliminate the cap and Social Security is fixed.
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.
Does that sound fair to you?
