I almost cried to see a man who'd happily seize your or my private property, would trample constitutional liberties without thinking twice, and has zero fiscal responsibility, being welcome in the Oval Office. And it didn't help matters that Zohran Mamdani was there right next to him.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

I've spent years reporting on how democracies die. And I've noticed something: by international standards, Donald Trump is really, really bad at destroying a democracy.
And that should give us real reason for hope. www.vox.com/politics/410...

Trump is losing his war on democracy
Trump’s power grabs are dangerous. But he’s going about them all wrong — and facing effective resistance as a result.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.
Mahmoud Khalil’s Son Arrives After ICE Refuses to Let Him Attend Birth
Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

A 10% universal tariff, 25% tariffs on steel & cars and a full on trade war between China and the US is not a comfortable place for either the US or global economies.
Not the catastrophe it was before the U-turn but still pretty grim.

Kseniia Petrova is a university medical researcher and Putin critic.
Upon returning to the US, CBP detained her.
I'm urging Sec. Kristi Noem and ICE to release Kseniia while her asylum claim is pending and ensure she is not deported to Russia – where she risks persecution.
