To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

It was always about oil, not drugs.

It’s why there’s been no evidence of drugs.

It’s why they haven’t wanted to leave survivors.

The US seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela further proves this.

They’re saying they’re keeping the oil.

It’s piracy and murder.

Albanese leaving Australian children to be massacred by the UAE is what? What is this man?
Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home.

Albanese is refusing to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there ‘compounds risk to all of us.’ Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
