The Worst ICE Agents Are Coming Tens of billions of new dollars plus a rush to hire 10,000 new agents equals a disaster in the making.

ICE is now the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. And that fact raises a question: What exactly are they going to do with all that money?

The latest Huddled Masses from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-worst-...

Harry Enten: "Inflation in my mind was what cost Joe Biden the presidency more than any other factor. It brought him down. But guess what? Donald Trump at this point, his net approval rating on inflation among independents -- it's actually worse than Biden's was a year ago! Minus 45 points!"

Do not close your eyes!
Do not close your ears!

Abuses are happening in our name.

As the US government commits atrocities, we have a choice:
Speak out or be complicit.

ICE just got 170B & will hire 10k more officers.

With $45B to create internment camps-5x the budget of the Bureau of Prisons.

That's not a dog whistle It's clear that white supremacists are currently running the social media and public relations shops of Federal agencies and that's dangerous for all of us

Trump Admin public affairs shops are openly trolling. Now they're posting white nationalist messages and the target audience is hearing it loud and clear. As a former Army spokesman I find it incredibly dangerous. My latest dives into the meaning in DHS's most recent 'Manifest Destiny' meme.

🚨 Unearthed: In January 2024, Trump reposted this Truth Social post questioning the FBI’s handling of “the Epstein tapes.”

Now his administration dismisses the tapes as a “hoax.”

Screenshot of article that reads: When looking beyond just Harvard and Columbia, one thing becomes clear, said Dominique Baker, an associate professor of education and public policy at the University of Delaware, the president is inciting an “outright attack” on higher education, and he has no plans of slowing down. From the political ousting of University of Virginia president James Ryan to the legislative termination of countless academic programs in Indiana with little to no faculty input, Baker identified one defining thread: curtailing the power of democratic institutions. “We are in a very dangerous time, both for U.S. higher education, but more importantly for our country,” she explained. “These types of outright attacks on colleges and universities are typically the moves of autocrats and dictators, often seen as signs of authoritarian takeovers.” She later added, “if one wanted to overthrow our constitutional republic, these are the types of moves you would make.”

Reporter: How do you feel about the Columbia settlement?

Dominique: Let me tell you about public universities in Republican-led states...

I appreciate that I get the kicker on a lot of these stories because I'm the most grim

Trump is plotting the biggest tax rise in global history The burden for paying the bulk of the president’s Liberation Day tariffs will fall on consumers, potentially at some $600 billion a year

Richard Carlson, Journalist Who Led Voice of America, Dies at 84 The father of the conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, he won a Peabody Award for television reporting that uncovered a car company’s fraud.

Tucker Carlson's father Dick is dead. He was a transphobic television figure with no journalistic standards who involuntarily outed people. And obviously he helped turn his son into an utter irredeemable scumbag www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/b...

Signalgate and the Trumpian Reflex to Lie Dishonesty and gaslighting undermine self-government.

One of the tired old truisms of post-Watergate Washington is “It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.” Usually it’s both—but this coverup reflects the cult-like insistence on unreality as a sign of tribal loyalty.

John Avlon on Signalgate:

An image featuring the logo of Indivisible and text stating "We're not giving up in the fight for trans rights." The background is striped in light blue, pink, and white.

Today, we’re celebrating trans communities’ vibrancy and perseverance in the face of attacks on their very existence -- and fighting for a future when all our trans and nonbinary siblings can safely live authentically and freely.

No hateful law or executive order can erase your identity.

Keep boycotting.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.
