ICE now has over 70 billion dollars to build more concentration camps. Just in time for Independence Day. God damn you, America.

Amen. It is cruel, hideous & inhumane in conception & execution. An indelible moral stain on America. Immigration reform? Of course & we have the resources to do it well. But it should welcome immigrants & refugees (we need & should want more) & always treat them with decency, due process & dignity.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Say what you will about Trump threatening to strip citizenship from his critics and have immigrants put into concentration camps in a swamp, but he never did anything truly power-mad like forgive student loans.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

“GOP Rep. Hal Rogers, who has represented most of eastern Kentucky for more than four decades, voted for the House bill and has not publicly addressed its SNAP cuts. In his district, 22% of households are receiving SNAP benefits.” Rogers has been in Washington way too long & gotten way too comfy.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

I hope the racist lie that immigrants eat pets, the lie that all the Wall Street Bros wanted to "legalize", was worth Trump arresting lawful immigrants,Trump exploding the deficit, Trump playing games with tariffs, and now Trump bombing Iran illegally. Good thing we "legalized" racism, huh?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
