This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea
I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

Junior's opinion on autism is not only offensive, ignorant and wrong, but it sounds suspiciously like some of the justification given for eugenics.
“To start with, as someone who has spent considerable time reporting on autism and having the honor to get to know brilliant and talented autistic children and adults and their families, let me say this to Secretary Kennedy: (Expletive) you.”
RFK Jr. attacked kids as he lied about autism. Republicans voted for this. | Opinion
RFK Jr.'s dehumanizing language is both inaccurate and wildly insulting. It's the language of those who think kids with disabilities have no value.

Lisa Murkowski has reported that call volume to Congress has recently increased from 40 calls/minute to over 1500 calls/minute, mostly regarding the overreach by the “Special Government Employee” who has apparently taken over several Federal agencies
I think we can do better than 1500 calls/minute.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

What is frustratingly confounding regarding everything that is going on, particularly with Elon Musk taking control of Federal agencies and dismantling them without transparency or oversight is how silent the Republican majority is being.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
