Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

The most alarming step on the road to fascism, empowering unfettered ICE agents and expanding their ranks. No one is safe, especially in my minority-majority state of NM.
I spent years reporting on the wave of criminality and corruption that ate the Border Patrol away from the inside after its last hiring surge. Now Congress just approved even doing worse to ICE. A look, specifically, at what will go wrong: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/four-fears...
Four Fears about ICE, Trump's New Masked Monster

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Today, a DOJ lawyer confirmed that the U.S. plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia if he’s released from pre-trial criminal detention.
The lawyer said the government won’t wait until Abrego faces trial.
Less than two weeks ago, a White House deputy press secretary decried that as “fake news.”

@tedlieu.bsky.social Congress must investigate 1) where did all of the plain clothes ICE agents come from, 2) are they being paid a bounty, and 3) when was this authorized.
These soulless people see this as a lucrative business for “doing what they love” (his words not mine.)
You know who else had that same energy? Slave catchers in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
