A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp.
Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M.
An utterly cruel and costly waste.

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.
What happened next?
Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).
Everything is for sale.

Excellent & informative thread. Read all of @asharangappa.bsky.social posts to learn how misinformation is used to manipulate.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention
