This is the number that keeps me up at night
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.

Could someone generate an AI video of ICE agents checking a pitcher’s immigration papers after walking off the mound at Dodger Stadium? Thanks in advance.

Phang: When he was campaigning for president, Trump called Ivy League universities “Marxist maniacs.” Well, here’s a news flash: I went to one of those Ivy League universities. I went to Yale… I am not a Marxist maniac. But you know what I am? I’m a maniac for justice—for doing what’s right.

Please don’t fall for the head fake. The only reason Trump is talking about raising taxes on the rich is because he knows the Republicans in Congress won’t do it. (And they know he really doesn’t want them to)

I love NPR and PBS
The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

“Mrs. Robinson” turns 57 today — a song Paul Simon said was “made up on the spot” after Mike Nichols needed music for a chase scene in “The Graduate”, “just to hear what music would sound like.”
“They wanted guitar music. I was playing— I didn’t even know WHAT I was playing.” 🎸

When people in government are focused on finding leakers and complaining about bad press that almost always means they are not focused on their actual job, which is going poorly.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
