We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

Building security at 26 Federal Plaza sent a message to employees addressing the ICE presence. Text of email was shared directly with me. “These actions are being carried out in accordance with directives issued by the White House and may continue for the foreseeable future.”

I don’t think this has really sunk in among the public. This President, all by himself, created a brand new tax that is going to wreck your reality for quite a while. He did it without authority, without Congress, without good cause, and without a plan to succeed. He screwed you all for money/power.
