1 big thing: 🧊 Dems’ coming ICE war
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries speaks during a news conference today. Photo: Heather Diehl / Getty ImagesThe “defund ICE” banner that progressives brandished during President Trump’s first term is now starting to take hold among the more moderate wings of the Democratic Party.
Why it matters: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has long signaled that resurrecting Affordable Care Act tax credits has priority in the government funding fight. But some of his members are clearly spoiling for a fight over ICE.
- “We need funding reductions. … Policy is not enough,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), who stressed that “‘defund’ and ‘abolish’ are two different things.”
- Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.), a leading member of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, said he is “totally open” to trying to reduce ICE’s funding.
Zoom in: Jeffries finally waded into the ICE funding debate during his regular press conference today.
- “They’re running around out of control, with masks, no body cameras, no accountability, no warrants, arresting and in some cases deporting American citizens,” Jeffries told reporters.
- “It’s important to understand that a lot of the funding for ICE that is currently being unleashed on the American people … was provided not through the traditional appropriations process, but in connection with the one big, ugly bill,” he said.
- Rep. John Mannion (D-N.Y.), a swing-district centrist, noted the “big, beautiful bill” that became law nearly tripled ICE’s funding: “I would support reducing that funding back to fiscal year 2024 levels if I could.”
The other side: Some centrist Democrats — while signaling they would support policy changes — drew a clear line in the sand against defunding ICE.
- “I don’t know if we need to defund ICE,” said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. (D-Texas), who said the agency has been “overly funded” but that “we don’t have the votes for that anyway.”

I've been collecting stories about how #CPBFundingCuts will affect specific stations. I'll be posting those shortly, but this seemed to be a good place to start...
#CorporationForPublicBroadcasting, funder of #NPR and #PBS, says it will end operations within months after federal budget cuts
By Kerry Breen
Updated on: August 1, 2025Excerpt: "Maher warned that #defunding #PublicRadio poses 'a real risk to the #PublicSafety of the country.' She said some NPR stations receive 'more than 50% of their budget' from federal funding and may face layoffs and station closures.
"#Rural areas would feel the largest impacts, Maher said. Local stations also provide vital alerts in #emergencies like #storms, #floods and #wildfires."

#Trump Cuts to #PublicMedia Threaten #NativeAmerican Stations That Protect #Culture & #PublicHealth, Issue Alerts
July 18, 2025"We speak to Loris Taylor, president of #NativePublicMedia, about the Trump administration’s drastic #defunding of public media and its impact on tribal nations. Fifty-nine #TribalRadioStations and one tribal #TelevisionStation that depend on federal funding will be among the first to face possible closure, putting some of the essential services that #PublicBroadcasting provides, including warning systems for missing #IndigenousWomen and girls, at risk.
"Taylor shares how Native-led public media helps preserve #IndigenousLanguages and helped keep communities informed during the peak of the COVID-19 #pandemic. She fears that without these same resources and 'with the #ClimateCrisis increasing, [we] are going to be operating on the margins of information and are not going to have real lifesaving information available to our citizens when they need it most.'

Same with #defunding #Headstart. Same for #lead detection and removal.
The #GOP will have even more blood on their hands before this is over.

While I think a lot of observers make too much of the supposed ideological differences between the "populist" white nationalist faction, and the pro-billionaire techno-fascist contingent in the Trump regime, it's hard not to notice that some of the DOGE recommendations and other funding cuts look like class warfare made literal, with expected casualties. In a move that makes precisely zero sense from a perspective of protecting Americans living through the early stages of climate catastrophe, the Trump regime has ordered the closure of twenty-five science centers that monitor water levels to combat flooding and drought.
Trump officials gut 25 centers that monitor flooding and drought in the US
"The Trump administration has ordered the closure of 25 scientific centers that monitor US waters for flooding and drought, and manage supply levels to ensure communities around the country don’t run out of water.
The United States Geological Service (USGS) water science centers’ employees and equipment track levels and quality in ground and surface water with thousands of gauges. The data it produces plays a critical role across the economy to protect human life, protect property, maintain water supplies and help clean up chemical or oil spills.
The targeted centers are part of a larger network, and the Trump administration based its decision to make cuts on leases near expiration, not scientific reasoning, said Kyla Bennett, director of science policy with the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility non-profit that is tracking the issue."
I think I do a pretty good job of distinguishing the things I know, from the things I suspect, here on this blog; so perhaps what I'm about to say here is speculative, but please note that my observations are absolutely informed by people like Elon Musk openly articulating his belief that we're in a racialized war for the future of humanity, which is going to happen on Mars apparently. That noted, it's hard for me not to notice that an absolutely huge portion of the regime's slash and burn agenda is clearly a targeted type of quite literal class warfare; they're actively burning down anything that keeps poor and labor class people alive, while funneling money directly to billionaire tech-fascists, increasing military funding, and rapidly expanding a fascist police state. The result of these policies on a long enough timeline will quite obviously be the deaths of more labor class people, and a further entrenchment of power for the ruling class reactionaries; and suggesting that might be intentional would sound like a conspiracy theory if the billionaire nazis surrounding and populating the Trump regime, guys like Musk, Peter Thiel, JD Vance and so forth, didn't keep saying the quiet part out loud.
Finally, while I'm not sure this is newsworthy, I couldn't willingly write up this story without marveling at what I'm sure one of the wildest things quoted from The Guardian in the paper's long history:
“It’s not being done with any thought about human life, it was just ‘this seems so woke so let’s get rid of it,’” Bennett said. “People think water is free and comes out of your tap whenever you want, but it’s not that simple.”
Yeah, water is "woke" is a thing now apparently; may whatever gods you believe in have mercy on our souls.
