in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

Corporate profits have hit record highs.
CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.
We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.
But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

I guess "ocean" isn't one of the words they test when the president makes his monthly visit to the dementia ward.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.
Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.
And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

One way for the media to win back the respect of viewers would be for them to show us that they have some self-respect of their own.
When you let the president denigrate and humiliate your colleagues without saying a word, you're not really giving off a "holding the powerful to account" vibe

A team working for Tulsi Gabbard last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines.
