We should all be sick to our stomachs at the utter senselessness of these West Virginia National Guard troops being shot
There was no reason for them to be in DC. Crime has been lessening. There was little for them to do.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
