This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This man is what makes America great, and we are lessened by his loss.
ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country."

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti.

He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

If they don't leave him alone we are going to end up with President Astronaut Mark Kelly.
Sen. Kelly responds: "If Pete Hegseth ... thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide…

This is correct, and part of why Senator Kelly needs to fight it, in courts of law and courts of public opinion alike--not just for himself, but so other vets aren't intimidated out of speaking up
This is designed to have a chilling effect on all retired service members. The message is that if you speak out, you risk your retirement pay.

FYI: Congress may not have known but you can put money on the mark that corporations did. They knew about COVID-19. They know about maneuvers now. Watch the automotive industry. It literally drives America and the world, not because of its product but how it's the nexus for so many others.

I live on land once home to the Choctaw. As someone of Irish descent, this connection lives and breathes inside my heart. For 18 years, this land has challenged, nurtured, and sustained my soul. I don't feel I own it -- certainly not its spirit. I am honored to belong to it, in reciprocity.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

You can commandeer every umbrella and then call the weather rain, but the people are gonna know that you're just pissing on them.
Leavitt claims the administration is complying with SNAP-related court orders but warns that "the recipients of these SNAP benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money because the Democrats have forced the administration into a very untenable position."

The reason SNAP costs "exploded" starting in 2021 was because USDA implemented a change to the calculation of how much families should spend on food each month. This change was mandated by Congress in the farm bill that passed... in 2018, when Trump was president.
