Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

My father-in-law, a naturalized Pakistani-American with a TS clearance who worked in defense his whole career, was just in Italy on businesss (for his non-defense retirement career). He was supposed to arrive back in the US on Wednesday, and none of his family has heard from him for 2 days. The only word on our minds was “detention.” My brother in law finally filed a police report yesterday so they would go to his house for a wellness check.

Turns out he’s fine - he just had the brilliant idea of changing phone carriers while he was out of the country, and none of it worked when he got back home, so he was completely off the grid for 2 days. Whew.

It still really brought home -as if any of us needed it - just how insane this administration is that anyone in this position would even have to think about these scenarios. Trump is ruining so many lives, and for absolutely nothing.

Asked about returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Bukele says he won't "smuggle a terrorist" into the U.S.

Not sure which word used in its context is causing Merriam-Webster and me more heartburn: Miller using “kidnapping” as the definition for bringing back a man originally kidnapped by ICE, or Bukkake using “smuggle” for returning a wrongfully kidnapped individual back to his rightful country of residence. Fuck all of these people.
 
We’re taking our first actual steps across the rubicon and into the cool zone.

We’ve been on that trajectory for a while, but I think we’re there. Open defiance of unanimous scotus rulings. Telling a foreign dictator to build five new concentration camps for US citizens. ATF agents being rebadged as ICE and saying “Take him anyways”.

Call your governor’s office and ask when they’re having lunch with their adjutant general.

Update - it has been a little over 2 weeks and nothing has been delivered (I told her to pay for the expedited service). I'm not concerned about anything yet though. I'm sure there is chaos at SoS just like every other department, and whatever paperpushers they still employ are dealing with the usual surge of new passport requests and renewals in advance of the summer travel season.

If it's delivered before the end of April, I'll consider it a normal transaction. She is a natural born citizen with a clean record, so at any other time this should be a rubberstamp.

Delivered today :cool:

SCOOP: HHS has been gutted leaving critical health systems in danger of collapsing overnight. And no one's in charge: “Those in charge are AWOL. I’m doing nothing productive. This ship has no captain whatsoever, and I’m playing in the band while the Titanic sinks.”...

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened: [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."
