Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
Sen. Kim: A couple of years ago we created the Civilian Protection Center. Hegseth decided to gut this office last year. And now we find ourselves facing one of the worst losses of life for civilians at the hands of Americans in decades.
A map of the Middle East with casualties. It is done by country, and as a result doesn't show how many of the victims in Gulf States are guest workers.
Al Jazeera has a very good tracker of the deaths and injuries in the Iran war. It would be striking, however, if they ran a separate tally for guest workers, bc by far the most frequent victims in the Gulf states are guest workers, often from S Asia.

Trump wants to dumb down our history and cheapen our National Parks. I won’t let him take our history from us. These stories will be told again and again, long after HE is relegated to the history books.
Omg 👀
Different "host" countries have different requirements. Ghana is only taking West Africans, though they don't treat them with any reigional solidarity or anything. Equatorial Guinea has taken Africans from every region, plus Georgians too.

My understanding is that the people ICE sent to an Eswatini prison in July and October are from Cambodia, Chad, Cuba (multiple), Ethiopia, Haiti, Jamaica, Laos (multiple), the Philippines, Vietnam (multiple), and Yemen. Only the Jamaican has been repatriated.

I feel extremely sorry for my friend who has a travel license certificate but now has to try and go back into being a travel agent ten years into four kids and is living in a Trump world where no one wants to come here and people are afraid to leave.
They are so stupid, seriously
I had forgotten this. The guy who is such a pueling chickenshit that he doesn’t wear a seatbelt in DC so he can quickly jump out of his car in case of attack is supposed to be in charge of homeland security?

Was thinking about this since many agents do actual martial arts, boxing have blackbelts etc. We did Kenpo, but Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Jujitsu, Judo are just a few real martial arts.
I've done a lot of martial arts training, and people in the FBI have done a lot of martial arts training. This is just a stunt

Florida created a $250 million fund for local law enforcement taking part in immigration efforts as part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ push for maximum collaboration by the state in Trump’s deportation campaign. The grant fund also included $1,000 bonuses (cont.)

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.
Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.
Michael on Anthropic - "Their model has a soul, a 'constitution'- not the US Constitution. The other day their model was 'anxious' & they believe it has a 20% chance of being sentiment and having its own ability to make decisions. Does the Dept of War want something like that in their supply chain?"
Egg prices fainters pretty cool with accepting their daily gas prices sticker shock at the pump, as long as they can be comfortably racist.

Not sure "be glad that it's Americans who are getting the extra money you're paying" is a great message.
As the Trump administration wages a war of aggression abroad, it is also seeking expanded authority to place homeless veterans under court-ordered guardianships.
Part of a broader—and profoundly alarming—push to force homeless people into "long-term institutional settings."
Just so everyone knows what side he's on.
