if so, that’d be a 60+% cut in what ICE can spend on detention, refusing to let them allocate from one budget to another, CBP stays at the border, all stops require warrants, legal obligation to cooperate with state investigations, plus a number of other smaller measures

are those enough? of course they’re not enough. but they would be a pretty unprecedented number of restrictions on an opposition president’s primary domestic agenda from the minority in both chambers

everyone thinks the warrant thing is meaningless because it’s a law they’re already breaking, but this isn’t the case, and would end the street grabs, the home depot raids and the house to house grabs, which, depending on how it’s written, would be a huge deal, that’s more or less the end of big ops

this is just substack

you are fucking CBS news, you do not do more with less, you do more with more, that is the entire fucking point of being a behemoth

man, the “let’s pretend this enormous, longstanding organization with a long history and publicly traded shares is actually a small, scrappy startup” approach literally *never* works, it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of how organizations and businesses work

if I’m being honest, I’ve never really liked the “descendants of slave catchers” narrative about cops/ICE/etc., because even shaky historical analysis aside, it ignores relatively recent systemic issues with policing and makes it out to be some Darwinian origin story of “policus Americanus”

homan is a different kind of stupid than bovino, but he’s still stupid as shit

a) no you aren’t
b) to the extent that you can, this rapidly becomes unmanageable and unusable

setting aside who voted for it to begin with, this is what murray’s approps bill specifically prohibits.

the thing about all this is that ALL these people, at the end of the day, have no loyalty to anyone but their own ambitions and if they get a sense that there's a knife headed for them they're going to stab whatever back they can reach on their way down.

Saw a reply to this thread saying "what's cool is all these problems are solved by abolishing ICE" and... no, no they are not.

Abolishing ICE doesn't even abolish CBP. But also the massive data/privacy issues Wyden is talking about have implications far beyond even the worst 3-letter agencies.

they tell each other that their wives and children at home really do love and miss them

she’s fucking toast in addition to lewandowski

jesus, “dan walsh” is a guy low info voters choose because his name sounds normal and he’s not even breaking 100

no, you dumb motherfucker, all these tattooed gearheads don’t fucking like your soft-handed ass, this is even lamer than thinking the stripper really likes you

i *know, personally* the kinds of barbers he went to, they’re all aging dirtbag punks who have, well, questionable politics, but none of them fit into the white christian nationalist box, this guy thought they liked his think tank guy haircut and shitty beard trim

of all the stupid heel pieces of shit on the right, rufo is the one that actually gets under my skin because he’s such a smarmy tryhard piece of shit who I embarrassed the fuck out of when he posted about going to a manly barbershop

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that
