I was wondering if anyone has heard about the retention of ICE agents, is there more turnover in their employment than before or are they all fully engaged with the new methods.
Charlie last night I came across one of your morning shot articles you wrote for the Bulwark. As I read it again, one could not help reflecting on all that happened since then.
I don’t know about anybody else, but the way the corporate media is reporting Trump’s actions as if they are normal actions talking about what his next move will be as if it is normal just floors me .
What is new is the level of money making opportunities involved in reporting , selling it, the bull that put a militarized police force thugs against us. Flights to countries unknown.The level of cruelty and racism , right wing religiousity and money was always there all along . Most Americans never considered the level of betrayal and inability to stop this regime by our elected government officials.Meanwhile how does this fix the system .
I just want to be clear...I'm NOT Antisemetic...and underline the word NOT. I view the Jewish people the very same as I view all other faiths and beliefs of PEOPLE that simply want to do GOOD IN THE WORLD and want to LIVE IN PEACE and HARMONY with OTHERS!
The Trump Spin...the American Far Right Spin...and the FOX Spin, uses the word "AntiSemetic" to divide and deflect the ATROCITIES imposed by the Netanhayu Regime and his Far Right Supporters on the Palestinian People. [Gaza & The West Bank Atrocities-Crimes against Humanity].
I am totally apposed to those that are Antisemetic and also believe and trust that the vast majority of College and University Students in the USA view this in the same way.
Those that are truly Antisemetic are sinister in nature and just want to further their own in depth into abyss through their practice of ignorance and hatred...not unlike the Trump Administration and its 2025 Architects...who are Intolerant, Despicable and well yes...Discriminatory against Ethnicity [ICESCHWITZ], Sex [LGBTQIA2S & Women's Right to Choose], Age [Social Security] and Disability [Federal & State Health Care Provisions & Veterans Affairs etc].
I think I'll leave it at that...as it's high time to embrace DEI Initiatives once again in America...as we believe in this way forward in Canada,
We ain't perfect either...but we're trying are hardest to both HEAL and LOVE thy FELLOW CITIZENS!
Great interview with Anne Applebaum...so revealing regards comparisons to other Dictatorships but with a TWIST relative to the Trump Administration...the TWIST being the SPEED, the CRUELTY...the LACK of EMPATHY...the total LACK OF RATIONALE and TRUTH.
I'm not an expert on Law or Criminality...but it dawns on me that there should be another category for Criminality. I'm thinking the International Criminal Court in The Hague should consider adding a 'CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THROUGH ABETMENT'. This would apply to the Trump Administration relative to their abetment with WAR CRIMINALS Putin and Netanyahu to name just two monsters in the midst of Inflicting War and Genocide on people located in an adjacent Country. Of course in Netanhayu's Case he's waging War and Genocide on the Palestinian People, People he's supposed to be Protecting and Providing Democratic and Humanitarian Services. This their Bargain and Treaty to the rest of the world so they could enjoy their own Country called Isreal with Palestine being stripped of their homeland.
Trumps DANCE with both PUTIN and NETANHAYU is based on Corruption and Financial Transactions at the highest level, and he's held with them for decades...as he is COMPROMISED TO THE HILT.
If only MAGA could understand this...if only Trump was Fully and Completely Exposed...stripped of all Rhetoric, Lies and Deception...stripped of all clothes while standing in the middle of ALL the PUBLIC SQUARES in AMERICA crying for mommy to save him!!
Trump does not deserve to be saved, as he has and is in the midst of perpetrating 'CRIMES AGAINST HIS OWN PEOPLE'...this evinced from his use of ICE against Immigrants, Asylum Seekers, and those that know he's a False Prophet and are willing to speak out.
He's actually so ignorant and dumb as post...that he mixes up the meaning of words...for instance he thinks 'Asylum Seekers' is the same as those coming from 'Insane Institutions'!!??
His use of ICE is CRIMINAL...and he could be IMPEACHED for just this ONE DIABOLIC POLICY...I call it "ICESCHWITZ" because that is what is...simply put let's start...Calling a Spade a Spade...and forget about political correctness in this unparalleled time.
This just ONE of his MANY FORAYS INTO INSANITY...the list goes on, TARRIFS, DOGE, USAID, GRAFT, ABORTION, DRILL BABY DRILL, BBB the whole friggin gamut is INSANITY WASHED IN CORRUPTION and EVIL...IT DRIPS OF PROJECT 2025...the ARCHITECTS of WHICH should be placed behind BARS FOR TREASON.
So we gat back to the theme of CRIMINALITY...what say we propose a few more CATEGORIES...CATEGORIES that were UNHEARD OF BEFORE ALL THIS SHIT RAINED DOWN ON AMERICA and the REST OF THE PLANET.
Charlie raised a great point that Republicans by creating an imperial presidency are not thinking ahead about what happens when they are out of power. Remember when Mitch McConnell said,"What goes around, comes around". That was an effective argument when Democrats were threatening to do away with the filibuster. Republicans are like Trump in that they can't think ahead about consequences down the road. In Trump's case, that is seeing anything past the next day. Ditto with the MAGA party.
When you asked everybody about potential future podcast, guest I had Anne Applebaum on my list. Thank you so much for having her on. I have many of her books.
This discussion was just superb .
Really talking about reality . The discussion ICE getting all this money and getting further out of control is extremely sobering.
Hearing Anne say how the speed of which things have been happening is not what she expected really is an eye opener.
Thank you again. I’ve already passed this around to many people.
Nice essay Charlie. *And great interview subject with Anne.
Huge new allocated budget!!!!!
Eventually we will all have to have A.I. but grok is just another propaganda.
The unexpected speed of their demolition of the government: could one call it a blitzkrieg? Just sayin’!
I was wondering if anyone has heard about the retention of ICE agents, is there more turnover in their employment than before or are they all fully engaged with the new methods.
Have Anne Applebaum on as often as you can. What insight!

WHAT SAY YOU!?
I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The GOP , will it fracture? Perhaps it might. Grok is not good for America 🇺🇸 at all.
Excellent discussion and quite alarming in all aspects.
I think Anne overlooks the masked forces that used to perform the role that ICE is now doing. The KKK.
