Let me spoil this one for you: every single source is confidential. Every single one. We don't know how close they actually are to anything, and not one "Democratic leader" is even named in this article. Not. One. This is just messed up. This is Inquirer level reporting.

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

Project 2025 deportations will require violence. Period. The agencies involved are staffed w/people who will either 1) enthusiastically do so, or 2) go along w/no protest. We know this bc when told to take kids from parents & deport mom/dad w/no way to find kids--horrific--they executed seamlessly.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.
