ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

NEW: Letitia James's attorneys ask the court to limit further govt disclosures in the wake of Signal messages sent by "purported interim U.S. Attorney Halligan" to @annabower.bsky.social. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What precipitates this motion now is a digital messaging exchange that occurred after the
government brought charges, between purported interim U.S. Attorney Halligan and Anna Bower, a senior journalist for Lawfare, published on Monday, October 20, 2025.4 The article and the texts between the two are attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively. As reported and as confirmed by
the Signal messages exchanged between Ms. Halligan and Ms. Bower, it was Ms. Halligan who
initiated contact with the journalist—an unusual and improper occurrence.
The exchange was a stunning disclosure of internal government information. On October 111, 2025- two days after charging Attorney General James with Bank Fraud and False Statements to a Financial Institution—Ms. Halligan reached out to Ms. Bower to claim she was "reporting

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing.

Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

So where are the so-called “savings”? The truth is, there are none. Despite the rhetoric, the government is spending more and borrowing faster than at any point in U.S. history, even as critical public services are gutted and oversight is weakened.

MAGA keeps saying Trump is “saving taxpayers money” and “paying down the national debt.” If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?
