I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Don’t worry there was nothing nefarious going on, we have a very good explanation. Our concentration camps are just overcrowded and infested with disease.

NEW: ICE says there was nothing sinister about their multiple relocations of Mahmoud Khalil: there's a shortage of detention space, Manhattan doesn't have true overnight facilities, and the Elizabeth, NJ, detention center has bedbugs storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Due to the lack of available detention space available to ERO New York, aliens arrested by ICE in that AOR are often detained at facilities in other AORs. This is an operational necessity to prevent overcrowding in ICE facilities. Orange County Jail in Goshen, New York did not have available detention space to accommodate Khalil and many ICE detention facilities throughout the Northeastern United States are near or at capacity and engaged in efforts to relocate detained aliens to regions with available bedspace. 10. Between March 8, 2025 and March 9, 2025, ERO New York transported sixteen detained aliens, including Khalil, from ERO New York's AOR to New Orleans Field Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ERO New Orleans") AOR. Most of these transfers were for ongoing detention, while a small number were being staged for removal. ERO New Orleans has administrative control of eight different detention facilities, meaning that AOR is often able to accommodate transfers when other AORs are not. 11. Newark Field Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ERO Newark") indicated that Elizabeth Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey was experiencing and continues to experience a bedbug issue that prevented them from accepting detainees as full transfers. ERO New York did not request bed space from Philadelphia Field Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ERO Philadelphia") or Buffalo Field Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ERO Buffalo") based on awareness of general paucity of bedspace in those AORs compared to the known availability of bedspace in ERO New Orleans' AOR, as well as the need for those AORs to accommodate their own ongoing operations. While Khalil was at 26 Federal Plaza, ERO sought and obtained bedspace for Khalil from the ERO New Orleans Field Office. The bedspace request for Khalil was made at 10:49 p.m. on March 8, 2025. The travel packet for Khalil and his escorting officers was finalized at 3:57 a.m. on March 9, 2025, with a flight scheduled for 2:35 p.m. on March 9, 2025. 13. ICE's facility at 26 Federal Plaza is a Hold Room facility used for detention of individuals awaiting removal, transfer, EOIR hearings, medical treatment, intra-facility movement, or other processing into or out of a facility and it does not have beds or overnight medical staff. ICE ERO policy number 11087.2 dictates that absent exceptional circumstances, no detainee should be housed in a Hold Room facility for longer than 12 hours. 14. In compliance with this policy, upon completion of initial processing, Khalil departed 26 Federal Plaza at 1:40 a.m. and ICE transported Khalil to Elizabeth Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, where he was physically present and booked into the detention facility at 2:20 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (3:20 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time) on March 9, 2025. Elizabeth Detention Facility has comprehensive overnight accommodations for detainees such as beds and 24-hour medical staff. As stated above, Khalil could not be housed at Elizabeth Detention Facility long-term due to the bedbug issue, so he remained there only until his flight to New Orleans. 15. At the time Khalil filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Southern District of New York, he was detained at Elizabeth Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. 16. On March 9, 2025, Khalil departed Elizabeth Detention Facility at 11:30 a.m. and was brought to the airport to be transported to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Facility in Jena, Louisiana. 17. On March 10, 2025, Khalil was booked into the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Facility at 12:33 a.m., Central Time and he has been detained at that detention facility since that time. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 14 day of March 2025. WILLIAM P JOYCE

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

it sucks to have a job and passion that requires you to be online 8-12 hours a day due to the constant access to news / announcements. i’m burnt out beyond belief. even the things i once loved have now begun to feel pointless. design used to be my sanctuary but now it’s on the list of draining me.
