Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.
He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

It’s a tough time for a company whose business model is simply “we own a lot of bitcoin” when the BTC price is in free fall.
They declared a Q4 net loss of -$12.4 billion compared to $671 million the year before. 😬

The beginnings of a boom are a slump? 🥴
WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one?
BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings
WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000

Pretty incredible that right wing conspiracy theorists spent years peddling QAnon - and now that the real elite pedophile cabal leads straight to Donald Trump and his inner circle, they've suddenly gone radio silent.
