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.

It's so crazy to hear people defend a budget bill as having "savings" when it clearly raises the debt ceiling.

What's crazy about this is that the RED states are the ones who will be hit by it the hardest. Blue states care about their people and will actually implement the oversight.
We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections
That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan

Rand Paul is the type of Republican I grew up thinking the party was like. But today, they are more along the lines of a bunch of Marjorie Taylor Greene's

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable.
Then:
- Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary
- Meta gave Trump $25M
- Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions
Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners.
Corruption.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.
If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

DEI isn't the reason a Military Helicopter collided into a plane. It's just a scapegoat so they can try and not take accountability.
