More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical. Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsโ and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.
Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department. A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

Freedom to decide decide when to form a family, who to form it with and how we identify ourselves is a freedom this country is born of abuse and struggle. We are better for the freedom and that freedom is endangered by those who want to tell people who they are allowed and not allowed to be.

Trump brought Prop 50 upon himself
Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.
This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.
As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.
I predicted Trump would do this this last Monday on Maddow.

That and all the other news that happened today. Will be giving you updates all night. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
Letโs be clear: The Trump Administration has the resources and the legal authority to fully fund SNAP benefits. Not only do they have the ability, but they have also been ordered by a court to do so. And they are still choosing not to.

I'm sure there are places around the world in which Hindus are being massacred, Muslims are being massacred, etc. and we won't invade those countries much less even say anything about it. Another sign of their Christian nationalism. This is holy war to them. They're on a mission from God.
