This is just a terrible take. Large chunks of the US government have been destroyed and rebuilding is the first order priority to ensure people get the services they need. The second to make sure it never happens again. Efficiency? Nope. We need a Marshall Plan for the US.

More than 1.5 million kids were missed in the last U.S. census. The undercount was 2.1% for children <18, and 5.4% for those <5, the highest rate of any age group. Now the Census Bureau is proposing major changes to 2030 Census rules that could make some children even harder to count.

Deporting people to unsafe countries that they’ve never been to and have no connection to is inhumane and unjustifiable. Incredibly disappointed to see the Supreme Court allow this to continue until they hear oral arguments. This policy is illegal and must be stopped.
