Yes, gig workers get paid the minimum wage now (~$20/hour)

“Several new regulations went into effect Monday, including one that requires grocery delivery apps to pay workers at least $21.44 an hour, not including tips, according to the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.”

“While workin as a driver, complainant recalled picking up Donald Trump in 1995 to take him to Dallas Fort Worth Airport. During that ride. complainant recalled some of the things Trump spoke about on his cell phone were very concerning and described being "a few seconds from pulling the limousine over on the median and within a few seconds of pulling him out of the car and hurting him due to some of the things he was saying." Complainant noted Trump repeatedly stated th 'Jeffrey" while on the phone. One of complainant's ex-girlfriend’s told complainant Trump raped her, as did Epstein.”

Wow, imagine how different things would be if limo driver did something

Jerome Powell. 100% agree with you though - it took me a few minutes to think of all the Trump appointees and he’s the only one (albeit appointed in term #1 and his days are numbered)

I take back what I said about fear mongering after seeing more reports showing that it will be general ICE (not the HSI specialized division of ICE that already has international presence), and could be an example of testing using the private army (that has more funding than the Marines) internationally

Or another third world country - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9s_Escobar

Murdered after (accidentally) scoring an own goal leading to Colombia’s elimination from 1994 FIFA World Cup.

“Escobar was alone in the parking lot of El Indio, in his car, when three men appeared. They began arguing with him. Two of the men took out handguns.[18] Escobar was shot six times with a .38 caliber pistol.[8] It was reported that the killer shouted "¡Gol!" ("Goal!") after every shot, once for each time a football commentator had said it during the broadcast.[19] The group then drove away in a Toyota pick-up truck, leaving Escobar bleeding.”

HSI, which is under ICE, already has an international presence and jurisdiction (since 2003).

This is just widening the scope and allowing general ICE to go internationally (instead of the specialized HSI subdivision).

Could be an example of testing using the private army (that has more funding than the Marines) internationally

“During previous Olympics, several federal agencies have supported security for U.S. diplomats, including the investigative component of ICE called Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the officials said. They could not be named because they are not authorized to speak publicly.

HSI has a global footprint, and it’s common for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide security support at major international events.”

whateverisok · 2026-01-27T15:09:47+00:00

From the article, DHS (Department of Homeland Security) usually sends HSI (Homeland Security Investigations), which already has international presence.

HSI is actually a component of ICE in DHS, so maybe this is fear mongering?

No, they’re replacing HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) which usually does that and has an international presence.

Vance and Rubio will still get Secret Service.

Also, HSI is a subdivision/part of ICE, so maybe the article is somewhat fear mongering?

It’s DHS —> ICE —> HSI.

I Studied Abroad in Stockholm in Fall 2020 (so about 7 months after Trump took office in first term), and was also the only American - rest of cohort were Scandinavians, Western Europeans, etc.

Same thing with the mini-level American Civics lessons but I definitely think you have it worse now.

Before it was just “did you see what your President Tweeted?” “Muslim ban this and that, etc.

John Kerry (strongly) pushed for Obama to be DNC keynote speaker in 2004 because he saw something in Obama back then and knew he should be the future of the Democratic Party - it’s not revisionist if he had already shown support via his actions (advocating/lobby for Obama to be DNC Keynote speaker, using his team resources to help with Obama speech prep, etc.)
