An HHS source says admin also RIFed entire Office of Population Affairs last night. “Not a single staff person to run our nation's family planning program or the evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program. The Office of Adolescent Health which nested within OPA functionally ceases to exist”

Apparently Sen. Graham died from an aortic dissection. And I can tell you from personal experience that they are one of the most horrifically painful ways to die naturally. The chest and back pain along with the amount of vomiting it causes is horrific. And they’re completely preventable.

Your reminder to fire any financial adviser who tells you to put money in a Trump account www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/y... A 529 account is unambiguously better. (You can pull the moiney out, if it's needed.)

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

It has zero ties to fascism as it’s an international movement as an entity that has an abhorrence to nationalism, let alone palingenetic ultranationalism. It’s a pure democracy which is antithetical to authoritarianism.

It’s an important distinction because if it’s collective ownership by all then you aren’t talking about socialism. You’re calling for the transitory period known as the dictatorship of the proletariat, whereby all systems of ownership and the state are torn down. Essentially moving to communism
