NEW from me:
Trump’s trade “deal” with the UK is a farce—it only affects 0.3% of US imports, got basically no “concessions” from the UK, and barely lowered overall US tariff rates
That’s an extremely bad sign for “deals” to come

President Bukele allowed Kristi Noem and a Republican Congressman to visit the CECOT facility.
He denied access to Senator Chris Van Hollen.
If you couldn't tell this was a game, it's clear as day.

When Nixon privately tried to sic the IRS on perceived opponents, it was an impeachable offense. Team Trump is now taking similar steps in public.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
