I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Another story that must be told:
An ICE agent grabbed Merwil Gutiérrez. One of his fellow agents said, “No, he’s not the one.”
Merwil Gutiérrez is a 19-year-old asylum applicant who lives in the Bronx. He was the “wrong one.” ICE wasn’t there looking for him.
“Take him anyway,” came the reply.

TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
So the White House says the 10% baseline tariff also applies to Canada & Mexico. It has not said whether that's the effective new rate itself; whether it adds to the 25% fentanyl tariff, making the new rate 35%; or whether it kicks in only if the fentanyl tariff falls away

I’m not going to cave on tariffs!
But also these are a negotiation!
But also these are permanent!
We need these tariffs now!
But also I will pause them and maybe turn them back on!

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

If you have any doubt about where we are, the DoJ has suspended one of its top attorneys because he admitted in court that the government’s deportation of Abrego Garcia wasn’t supported by any evidence he’d been provided by the administration.
You can’t tell the truth if you work for this bunch.

Also, one more thing: if you're not LGBTQ, you don't get a say on who's welcome in our community. Asexual and aromantic people are sexual minorities. They're always welcome in our spaces. Our spaces are their spaces. Mind your own damn business and get a new hobby.

Purposely wrecking the economy and expecting people to be happy about it is the definition of out of touch.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

@60minutes.bsky.social finds no evidence of criminal records in US or any other country for 75% of Venezuelans kidnapped and rendered to El Salvador. Of the rest, 22% had non-violent arrests for things like traffic violations.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.
Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:
- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home
As for lower prices? Just the opposite.
