This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

It really is so striking how much The Discourse operates untethered from…what we actually know. The killer is still at large! We have no idea who did it! Seems pretty important to get that sorted.

They're using the word deportation because it provides cover to those who won't look past the surface. Like Nazi's calling themselves National Socialists. It's camouflage to justify silence in the face of tyranny.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

All these Maga folks lining up, excited to hand over their money to the government. Won't pay a penny for Universal Healthcare or quality education, but will empty their pockets for Daddy Trump to give tax breaks to the rich.
White House aide Peter Navarro claimed Sunday that President Donald Trump’s new tariffs would raise more than $6 trillion in federal revenue over the next decade, a figure that experts said would almost certainly represent the largest peacetime tax hike in modern U.S. history.
