Local and State Police Are Joining Trump's 'Deportation Force' Texas law enforcement agencies and others around the nation are reviving a long-dead "task force" program that led to racial profiling in the past.

The DOGE Fraud Is Coming from Inside the House - emptywheel The reason the DOGE receipts page is so shoddy is that it serves as cover for the fact that DOGE is doing things not envisioned by USDS or Trump's original EO renaming USDS DOGE.

“It’s not that the DOGE boys are not accountants, though they are not. It’s that their function is something other than the EO authorizing their work says it is, and the DOGE receipts page exists solely to sustain the fraud that they’re still pursuing waste, fraud, and abuse.”
