How much is Trump demolishing the East Wing about wanting his tacky new ballroom (permits be damned!) and how much is it about being *really angry* about the turnout for the "No Kings" rallies?

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening.

Make statues of this.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

In Congressional Dem lawsuit against ICE for prohibiting their oversight entry, ICE provides a filing abt what is funding detention operations during shutdown. But it doesn't specify what is going where in how much.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

8. Additionally, certain ICE operations during the lapse in annual appropriations are being unfed by appropritions made through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) ... Appropriations made through the OBBB are a distinct source of funding with defined amounts for specific purposes and are not used to fund all of ICE's operations throughout the lapse in appropriations.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

People should absolutely be writing about how ICE's occupation of their cities is transforming life in these places, and they should be publishing it in print on paper - not just social media posts. There needs to be a record of this. Things are changing in measurable ways for the worse every day.
