"They" might be the most dangerously misleading word of our time. Disaffected white men with right-wing leanings is the only unifying trait here.

FURLOUGH ICE. Do not allow yourself to be complicit in this administration's lawless abuses. HISTORY HAS ITS EYES ON YOU.
Tom Kennedy (@thomaskenn.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't understand. Why would you prioritize polling whims to remain in office (and complicit in what this administration is doing)? Furlough ICE.
Tom Kennedy (@thomaskenn.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, at this point wouldn't a government shutdown be a good thing? Our essential services have been gutted and I'd be just fine with ICE getting furloughed.

Right right right. Police your speech so you don't magically make people support Christo-fascists. Because surely the random person using language to try to (checks notes) humanize homeless PEOPLE are the real problem. The lack of agency everyone pretends right-wing folks have is kind of insane.

Ignoring the likely made up numbers, 'making money' like a business is not what countries do. I'm sure he thinks he can pocket profits like he does with his corporation but people need to wake up that the "country making money" at the expense of the people is what we rebelled against in 1776.

I donât think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make whatâs happening now look like childâs play. And people are disappearing.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.
