Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

I once met with a Missouri libertarian who was actively trying to defund public schools, and I asked how that would impact his own children. He has nine.
He told me he homeschools them. I said you homeschool them? He said well, my wife…
Yeah.

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.
Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Remember that time Elon Musk bought Twitter, fired most of the staff and now Twitter runs like shit, doesn’t follow its own rules, lies to and manipulates its users and glitches every Monday? Yeah - that’s what he did to the government too.
Good fucking Luck, Social Security.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
