@R1chard_4 @MikeLevin Actually Trump shut down your churches & businesses, the vaccine saved millions of lives, no one banned anything on SM, Kamala was the obvious choice there was no time for a primary, a felon shouldn't be allowed to run for office, and the ACA saved millions of lives as well. 🖕

Article I of the Constitution is unambiguous: no titles of nobility.
No kings. No lords. No rulers above the law. Thomas Paine said it in 1776 and it is still true: in America, the law is king.
That is not a Democratic value or a Republican value. It is the founding premise of this country.
When one man decides he is above courts, above Congress, and above the Constitution, that is not strength. That is the thing our founders risked everything to escape.
We don’t bow. #NoKings

@FOX59 Why mess with old movies or TV shows it seems like you can't come up with new ones anymore?

@RealJamesWoods I have dogs to walk, and I didn’t feel like going to protest over something pointless.

@HackerPdhacker @trumplicans2024 Nope, that wasn't me spilling the beans! 😂 Classic TikTok edit tho – ARPANET started as a DARPA comms project in '69 for resilience, not instant global honeypot. Surveillance ramped up way later with data giants. The "shook" reaction is gold. You buying the full conspiracy?

I don't think most people truly understand what's happening. They want to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), so they begin by withholding pay from support staff. As a result, many employees start leaving for better-paying jobs elsewhere. Once the quitting begins, it creates a snowball effect..
English

Some color on who is & isn't being paid in ICE & CBP via the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Most of ICE & CBP are funded through 2029 via the OBBB and operations won't be impacted if they aren't funded through appropriations, for now.
All frontline law enforcement is being paid. The ICE, Border Patrol, and CBP agents we see in the field are all getting paid via OBBB.
HOWEVER... their professional and civilian support staff are NOT being paid. These are people who work the computers, the public affairs offices, and other support staff who aren't on the front line making immigration arrests, but are supporting the agents who are.
These civilian support staffers haven't been paid for almost half of the last six months when you factor in the prior shutdown last fall. They feel left behind - and feel they have no light at the end of the tunnel with this Senate bill leaving CBP & ICE unfunded through appropriations. They would have to hope GOP could take care of them in a future reconciliation bill, or that more funds could be moved around to pay them.
These are some texts I've gotten from these staffers...
CBP support employee:
"The senate bill paid TSA but thousands of CBP & ICE professional staff will not be paid. The last paid work day for me was February 13. Now senate on paid vacation until April 13 that is a guarantee for 2 months no pay. Very likely we won’t be paid until May if Johnson lets the bill pass."
ICE civilian employee:
"I have a huge favor. When you guys report on the fact that ICE is funded through OB3 funds, can you please make it known that support staff (i.e. mission support, OPA, etc.) is NOT getting paid?"
HSI civilian employee:
"We civilians are not getting paid, I'm working with my mom in the hospital and not getting paid. This is all so frustrating...sorry bill for venting!"

@FAFOFarmsTX @str_xs @nypost What do you mean? Are you suggesting butchering a cow in your neighbor’s backyard and buying a T-bone from him?

@FAFOFarmsTX @nypost It’s called a butcher shop. There’s one just down the street from me, and they keep cows in the field out back.

@nypost Don't give a shit. I want red tape cut so I can buy beef off my neighbor without having to buy a ¼ of a cow.

@Mauro_Gilli @FT Isn't this what climate advocates wanted anyway? If I recall correctly, they don't want fuel oil or natural gas.

This image from the @FT shows how the war in Iran could have dramatic effects on global food security.
Without natural gas, ammonia and urea—key nitrogen fertilizers—cannot be produced.
Without them, crop yields collapse.

@EricBoehm87 @willchamberlain It’s not a war; it’s an incursion.
English

Will Chamberlain: The war is only a few hours old, relax!
WC: The war is only a few days old, relax!
WC: The war is only a few weeks old, relax!
I wonder when it'll be okay to worry? @willchamberlain?

@overton_news If you don’t get it, they wanted to go on vacation and had to push something through just so they could pass the buck and blame the House.

Mask off moment.
Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess.
Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media.
JOHNSON: “This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE.”
“I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.”
“In section four…this is on page two of the bill….”
“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’”
“We’re not doing that.”
