This would be an obvious act of ethnic cleansing under international law.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

for simply doing their jobs. This investigation, initiated by Ed Martin while serving as interim US attorney in DC, was a clear attempt to intimidate public servants. Republicans cheered it on, pushing baseless claims that a climate and clean energy grant program was actually a political slush fund.

We’re happy to report that everyone is safe and that a politically motivated investigation launched by the Trump administration into an EPA grant program has collapsed without uncovering any meaningful evidence of criminality. The Trump administration tried to charge federal employees with crimes

People are always saying on social media that gen-AI is here to stay and that it’s retrograde and standing in the way of progress if we reject it. But there are plenty of things that were once the embodiment of progress that we collectively decided to reject, from cocaine in soft drinks to eugenics

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.
Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

It's not just Vance - the sense of unearned entitlement is a defining feature of this administration. People who know their careers are built on a grift respond by self-righteously demanding deference and respect.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Last night, a federal judge in El Paso became the first to review ICE’s claim that someone was an “alien enemy.”
It went SO BAD for ICE that not only did the judge order release for the people suing, without prompting he restricted the use of the Alien Enemies Act in west Texas.

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state
