This graph of overtime expenditures is just crazy
Graph of police overtime expenditures vs year from 2014 through 2024. It shows a dramatic increase starting in 2020, with no signs of slowing down. The 2024 amount ($28.1 M) is nearly double the 2022 amount ($15M)

OP didn't display:
Truth Social is where the man who thinks he runs the country announces his latest move X is where the man who actually runs the country gets his ideas for the president's next move Threads is where people proudly resist both of them by patronizing a different billionaire who agrees with whatever the president says Bluesky is where people are absolutely furious with the president's latest move and know exactly who the blame: the headline writers at the NY Times Facebook is where people think the president's latest move was opening a casino for dolphins in Gaza with Jesus and they love it.

Hello, My name is __, I am one of your constituents. I live in __ and my zipcode is __. I’m reaching out to speak to you about some extremely distressing reports I have been hearing that The Trump Administration is planning to completely eliminate the CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention, as quickly as within the next 24 hours. If the Trump Administration were to follow through on this it would destroy any chance we have to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S., dismantling critical prevention efforts and leading to an unnecessary resurgence of this preventable disease. The work of the CDC Division of HIV Prevention is essential and it is not something that can be covered by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program or by state budgets. If this funding is cut, the services it funds will not be replaced, meaning more people will contract HIV, more people will get sick, and more people will die. I urge you to publicly condemn the proposed elimination of the CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention and to demand that the Trump Administration honor its past commitments to ending the HIV epidemic in the US. Thank you for your time. If needed, I can best be reached at __ [preferred contact information].
