So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

In 2021, Bari Weiss famously published a resignation letter by former Smith College librarian Jodi Shaw.
Shortly after, I asked Smith if Weiss had reached out for comment first.
“She did not,” spokesperson Stacey Schmeidel said via email.
Weiss’ agents declined my requests for comment.

Since it began nationalizing oil in 1976, Venezuela has, because ofarbitration or litigation, compensated big oil companies with multi-billion$ for ending their concessions. The idea that it “stole” U.S. oil is another big fat, soon to be lethal, Trump lie. www.unchartedblue.com/peacemaker-t...
'Peacemaker' Trump verges on Venezuela war in push to oust President Maduro and take supposedly stolen oil
What portion of our Outlaw Prez' Venezuela motives are tied to wagging the dog to suppress the releasing Epstein files is anybody’s guess, and I’m not going to.

I have many many good memories of Rob Reiner's work. It's not a secret that the Princess Bride is my favorite movie of all time. The movie poster is behind me in many media appearances and the movie even made an appearance in my wedding.
But I'm going to offer a much better tribute than that.
