Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

One of the stranger NYT articles I’ve ever read. The two most important things about the situation—Trump exiting the Iran Nuclear Deal as it was working perfectly and the fact that there’s no intel suggesting Iran has pursued more than a civilian nuclear program in 20+ years—are deliberately absent.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Is Indisputably the Co-Author of the Israeli War Against Iran—and His Iran Plot is Easily the Most Significant Betrayal of His MAGA Voters Yet
One thing MAGAs agree on is that MAGAism opposes the US becoming involved in any new foreign wars. But the available evidence now confirms—beyond any doubt—that Trump planned the current war in Iran.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
