«One indication of what’s to come, according to the American Prospect, is that ICE is “fast-tracking a $100 million domestic surveillance program,” which includes plans to deploy 142 intelligence contractors across the United States to create network analyses and possibly targeting packages using classified and open-source material. According to an ACLU senior policy analyst quoted by the Prospect, “It looks dangerously like the construction of an internal spying agency.”»

Their losses came as the party base has turned away from anti-Trump #resistance crusaders in favor of more broadly anti-establishment, left-wing ideologues»

Tariffs Are Hurting the GOP in Michigan – WSJ

«Michigan families have paid $27.2 billion in tariff-driven costs since January 2025, according to the business outfit Michigan Smart Trade Alliance. That’s roughly $6,658 per household.

The border taxes are shrinking the margins of U.S. auto makers, which means smaller profit-sharing bonuses for workers.
General Motors says it expects a tariff cost hit of between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion this year. That could mean $3,500 less in bonuses for workers.»
