Today is a good day to take note of all those telling you how swimmingly this is going to work out so you can stop paying attention to them forever We have illegally and under false pretenses launched a war that in no way benefits us and isn't going to ever truly end A MISTAKE WE HAVE MADE BEFORE

I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.

This is clearly worrisome. Equally concerning is the grant agreement language allowing the gvt to terminate grants whenever it deems the research doesn't align with admin priorities. As research takes years to start/implement, that uncertainty will keep many worthy projects from even starting.
