We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

With so many wankers, fiends and goons in the Trump regime, we need a chart to keep track of them all. As ever, data quality matters at altCDC. Who’s more stupid than evil? More wanker than goon? Did we get these right? Who are we missing?

"Before joining FEMA, he was assistant secretary at DHS' office for countering weapons of mass destruction, which he has told staff he will continue to lead." So this guy, who seems to be breathtakingly ignorant, is in charge of both the federal response to disasters and protecting us from WMD.

Man, it's a good thing that President Smartdeals tore up the historic agreement that Obama forged in 2015 so a decade later we could get this much much much better one that gets Iran back on track to becoming a nuclear power.

In Florida, about 15-20% of homes are uninsured, due to the current impact of climate change. And now the Trump administration has gutted the nation's ability to forecast hurricanes and put in charge of FEMA a man so clueless he didn't realize "hurricane season" is an actual thing. Buckle up.

At some point the rubber meets the road for Hawley. If/when the ACA’s Medicaid expansion is cut back, Missouri is constitutionally obligated to pick up the fed’s share of funding. That’s a ton of cash. What’s Hawley do then? He will have to say Trump/GOP lied to him or take the hit directly.

"Nearly one-quarter of seniors live more than an hour away from their local Social Security field office." The Trump administration is reducing staff at those offices — while forcing seniors to visit more frequently for no good reason. A recipe for disaster.

Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.
