The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

With MAGA family, catching up on Fox messaging:
1. Everything about the economy is getting better, despite what anyone feels.
2. Trump policies take time; he doesn’t do instant gratification, unlike that “charlatan” Mamdani.
3. Say “affordability” a lot.
4. Trump’s not getting enough credit.

There will be a strong market for books offering “insights” that sound unbelievably brilliant as long as you’ve never thought about the question before and we never think about it again again.

"Everybody’s going to the Market Basket /
You know why they’re going there’s no need to ask it /
Everybody’s going to the Market Basket /
...At the same time!"
Good luck out there.
