Jeffrey Sachs estimates that the Trump tariffs eliminated $10 trillion. That money didn't transfer or switch countries; it was destroyed. In a matter of days, one decision cost as much as 20 years of war in the Middle East or half the cost of the 2008 crash—by choice.

So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

Okay I’m increasingly convinced at least some of the people sent to CECOT are either dead or permanently lost in the system
Most are not actually held there. This is a great investigation by @nikkimcr.bsky.social at Rolling Stone, highlighting how little is known: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
![Disappeared is an apt description for the state of those in El Salvador’s prisons. Cristosal and other advocacy groups working with the families of the detained say that CECOT is just “the public face” of a much larger system of prisons in El Salvador holding the vast majority of those arrested under the state of exception. The Bukele administration makes it nearly impossible to track the whereabouts of an arrestee once they’ve entered the system. Family members are not allowed contact with inmates, and are given little information on their condition and location. Release papers, if they manage to secure them, are often ignored. “We do work with hundreds of families of people, innocent people have been detained, and they don’t even know for sure if they’re alive.” Bullock says. “They bring monthly packages [of basic goods] to the prisons out of fear that their loved ones don’t think they’ve been forgotten, but they have no guarantees or assurances that they’re even there or they ever received the packages.” (In many Latin American countries, prisons do not provide basic goods for inmates, whose families are expected to collect and deliver them to detention centers on a monthly basis.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ccxxmzjocrhc3p2b3gkxvnhu/bafkreiaodzqauchpggnv4pexe2gk3asx7izf4q4jwz42hqq6gglbyqvm24@jpeg)

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months.
If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress.
To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.
If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.
