Recall: Cong. GOP expanded ICE’s budget by 8.5x since Trump took office last year. This massive increase in funding led to a 2.5x increase in the number of ICE agents. ICE agents receive 8 wks of training; same as TSA. Other law enforcement (police, FBI, etc.) receive at least 6 mo. of training.

The CR to reopen the gov also contained a provision that opens the door to several Senate Republicans personally receiving $500,000 (possibly more) from the DOJ. (See page 225 of HR 5371, as amended by the Senate).

Comey Indictment Shows Danger of Subservient Prosecutors

The political prosecution of a presidential enemy has left the government with a seemingly unwinnable case — and a justice system tainted by politics.

Jimmy Kimmel's defenders called his suspension an attack on the First Amendment; one said it was the most "straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen." Is it? @profunger.bsky.social explains what the 1st Amendment does/doesn't protect theconversation.com/why-jimmy-ki...

theconversation.com

Why Jimmy Kimmel’s First Amendment rights weren’t violated – but ABC’s would be protected if it stood up to the FCC and Trump

Think you know what the First Amendment means and protects? You − and a lot of Jimmy Kimmel’s defenders − may well be wrong.

I’ve passionately disagreed w/ Kirk on almost everything. But I respect his right to say it. As an American value, we must not, we cannot, allow violence to creep into our free speech & civic dialogue. We do not shoot those who we disagree with; rather, we must engage w/ respectful civil discussion.

My uncle presented a great idea tonight. All sellers of goods should post the total price of a good on the price tag (with the tariffs) AND the total price of the good *without* the tariffs imposed. Then Americans can see for themselves how much they will be paying as a result from Trump.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.
