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.

Fun fact. In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded".

The head of Social Security has said he’s “fundamentally a DOGE person.” The DOGE that fired thousands of workers, threatened to shut down offices, and is now rifling through Americans’ personal data? Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but DOGE is still creating chaos.

Exclusive | Social Security Chief Says Musk’s DOGE Figures Heavily in Agency’s Plans
Despite the billionaire’s exit from the White House, DOGE remains central to an effort to make Social Security a “digital-first organization.”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies. Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.

How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring
The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Once again, this is because all of this is a job for Congress, under Article I of the Constitution. The Framers could not imagine legislators so cravenly lacking ambition & fealty to oaths that they would let the president run amok like Mad King George. Nor did they intend the courts to fix this.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system. There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

More Democrats need to speak like this. Those that do will be rewarded. It will take a while for the current establishment base and donors to realize it and we're going to lose them and that's good for the long term health of the country. Let them go. Dead weight bringing us down.

Manifest Destiny was the idea that the United States was destined to expand across North America. This belief was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans and other groups from their land. Great.

A main strategy of the billionaires who own the GOP is — when Democrats and Republicans are in power in almost equal numbers — to identify a few Dems they can corrupt with big bucks. Sinema/Manchin last time. Now looks like it'll be Fetterman. This is very, very disturbing...
