Senator Murray, how are you going to help stop this? I heard a rumor that you are voting to support the ICE funding in the current spending bill. Please share specifics of what you are or are not doing in this regard.

Notes on the Crises Until Further Notice, Comprehensive coverage of the Trump-Musk Treasury Payments Crisis of 2025

Krugman interviews Nathan Takus on the plumbing of the federal payment system and what we know, limited as it is, about what the DOGErs are doing inside the systems. Yikes

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Me too!
