Seems like if the goal was really "deportation" they'd be paying for more planes, not more prisons. It's not like they're arresting people that fast, so they must be intending to hold them for longer.
WaPo - ICE plans to speed up deportations by funneling new detainees to large-scale warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people each, located in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri. Sixteen smaller warehouses would hold up to 1,500 people each. www.washingtonpost.com/busine...

"More broadly, the whole affair neatly encapsulates the bizarre anti-free-speech free-speech discourse of the past decade, the purpose of which has been to justify restricting any speech that conservatives disapprove of while framing liberal censoriousness as equivalent to state censorship."

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Gifting this article on the CECOT story in which Sharyn Alfonsi, the correspondent on the story, is reported as writing: “It [the story] is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Happy Winter Solstice 2025! Today, Sunday, December 21, marks the official start of astronomical winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the shortest day and longest night of the year, a powerful moment when the sun appears to "stand still" before beginning its slow journey back toward longer days.

Weiss can't beat Noem's propaganda broadcasts.
The image of Kristi Noem at CECOT and the saga of the Venezuelans the US government exiled to a notorious gulag should be seared into America's collective memory.
But displays of inhumanity were a normalized phenomenon in 2025.
