(The Swiss do not have a Prime Minister)
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

Vance once again showed the amateur hour performance of the Trump admin when he caused an international incident just by turning up. He laid a wreath at the Armenian Genocide Memorial and posted about it, thus massively pissing off the Turks.

Then he deleted the post and pissed off the Armenians.

Don't miss that this statement by the judge is based on a concession by the government

"*By the government's own admission,* its position is that if an ICE officer made a mistake and . . . detained someone who was legally in the US, that detainee would not be entitled to a bond hearing."

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

TIL what DARVO means, a helpful term for this hearing:

"An acronym for 'Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender,' a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior."

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

If this is real,… Wow.

One of the most transactional people to ever walk the earth.

A man who has profited from the suffering of people around the world.

Lots to say…

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
