Every single Democrat needs to internalize this:
ICE is a politicized operation that our tax dollars are paying for.
If Dem leaders don’t use every single legislative tool in their disposal to rein this in (ie shutting down this govt over funding) they aren’t doing their jobs.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Every new agency, it needs to be said: Musk is NOT going after DOD, which has never passed an audit.
This is not about the deficit.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.
“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while.
at any case, glad it's started.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

running the federal govt the same way I figure out which breaker powers the garage
the white house saying the medicaid portal will be "back online shortly" does lend some credence to the idea that they're just shutting the entire government down and manually whitelisting whatever they see becoming an immediate political threat
