The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

So let me get this straight, in the span of two days, federal agents blocked a reporter from accessing public immigration courts, barged into a congressman’s office and arrested a staff member for trying to block them, and raided a restaurant in military gear, tossing flashbangs, to arrest workers?

In James Thurber’s children’s book “The Thirteen Clocks,” there is a monster caused the Todal, described as “an agent of the devil, sent to punish evildoers for having done less evil than they should,” and happily there is a fair amount of that lately.
