I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.

The Truth About Trumpβs Proposed Cash-for-Kids Savings Scheme
A new proposal for child investment accounts sounds progressiveβbut its biggest beneficiaries would be families that can already afford to save.
Donald Trumpβs new proposal for child investment accounts is a βreverse-Robin Hoodβ provision, @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes. Its biggest beneficiaries would be families that can already afford to save.

We donβt have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffsβthatβs a choice.
The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.
Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.
We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.
