Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

Grift that keeps on grifting.

I read these things and try to understand Vance's process in creating these casually cruel posts. Does he draft and edit and chuckle at his peurile wit? Or does he acknowledge the moral cost of his allegiance to Trump? What a sad human he is.

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

Sen. Kelly: “This is not making Americans safer. It is clearly doing the opposite thing…We can enforce our laws without federal agents killing people in the streets of American cities…Kristi Noem and…Stephen Miller, both of them should be out of jobs.”

After everything I have done to defend this country — 16 years in the army and six tours overseas — I never imagined the greatest threat to our country would come from within our own borders.  It’s time to take our country back.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Government announcements with an eye firmly on ordinary people and improving our lives. We see ground rents capped, reforms in our pet fees, free AI training for every adult and more social homes with bidding starting in Feb. And our pubs given extra help. 👏👏👏

Need to repost this, as it seems many people have seen the lies and misinformation Zack posted here and have believed him. But he shared was deliberately misleading...read on below to find out why...and please do share to make sure others realise it too.

What does a Labour government ever do for you? Well here are 14 things they have done TODAY! How many can you say other parties even have the first clue about? 1. Upgrades to more grass roots sports facilities 2. 450,000 disadvantaged students to be supported by new AI tutoring tools 1/8

The Labour government have today announced an update on additional support for pubs & live music venues in regards to business rates, following lots of discussions with a range of MPs who had been putting forward a case. It is definitely worth listening to counter the nonsense from the Tories. 1/6

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

ICE pointed guns at a retired couple in a church lot and lied. No warrant. No rights. Just terror. PAXIS tells us that’s unconstitutional. You have the right to remain silent, see a judicial warrant, and not open the church door. PAXIS holds that line. Learn more & support: www.paxis.app
