Trump’s MAGA faithful remain stubbornly loyal
They believe in a concept they have of the president, not in the reality.

Private prisons announce $1.4 billion in revenue as immigration detentions climb
That revenue does not include net proceeds of $1.6 billion made by CoreCivic after the recent sale of four of their facilities to the Department of Homeland Security.

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Capitalism is neat because the world's first trillionaire had the resources to end global hunger and instead actively chose to starve hundreds of thousands of people to death

Three fertilizer producers control 90% of the market in North America. Thanks to their dominance, they can take advantage of shocks (like Trump's Iran War) and jack up prices on farmers. Nutrien, one of the biggest, saw earnings increase 631% in Q1. Farmers get squeezed while Big Ag rakes it in.

The same administration that told you America was broke that we “have to gut the Forest Service”, slash public lands budgets, and fire federal workers to save money, just spent $29 billion on the Iran war. In only a few months.

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting. 🐻🧸 Yummy.. #nationalpark #bears #salmon #wildlife

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.
