NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.
This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.
God I wish we lived in a world where the closure of The Kennedy Center were the outrage we could focus on right now.
I’d like the legislation that makes it illegal for law enforcement to go masked to be called the Dillon Act.
Mathing that math:
2026 ICE budget: $11.6B
Big “Beautiful” Bill appropriation: $75B, available to be spent anytime through 2029.
= $86.6B available to ICE as of 2026
This is greater than the annual military budgets of all the world’s countries except Germany, Russia, China… and of course the U.S.
The words right out of my mouth.
And you know who LOVE snowballs...?!
Dude that necklace!'
Every accusation is a confession.
Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.
I'd prefer Bovino were staying in tiny little handcuffs, but I guess I'll settle for leaving in disgrace.

John Mitnick @JohnMitnick I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now. George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.
The wise fear the anger

Sounds like another extremely bad situation in Minneapolis this morning.
ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
Gotta say: Trump and the Republican Party driving the country off a cliff is not the Thelma & Louise remake I was ever hoping to see.
