There’s way too much crazy stuff going on to even keep track of. They use outrage over 1 issue as cover to do other outrageous things.

Rampant first amendment abuses courts seem powerless to stop, continued targeting of legal immigrants, stonewalling on findings theyre renditioning hundreds of people based on lies about gang affiliations. So far most of this seems reversible but we still have 3.5 years left…

At least jerome powell said he would fight and see them in court. Rather than simply acquiesce

Really good column

Quote :

"There is a hypothetical president with a hypothetically similar agenda who could answer these questions. This actual president cannot. He did not reason himself into his preoccupation with tariffs and can neither reason nor speak coherently about them. There is no grand plan or strategic vision, no matter what his advisers claim — only the impulsive actions of a mad king, untethered from any responsibility to the nation or its people. For as much as the president’s apologists would like us to believe otherwise, Trump’s tariffs are not a policy as we traditionally understand it. What they are is an instantiation of his psyche: a concrete expression of his zero-sum worldview. The fundamental truth of Donald Trump is that he apparently cannot conceive of any relationship between individuals, peoples or states as anything other than a status game, a competition for dominance. His long history of scams and hostile litigation — not to mention his frequent refusal to pay contractors, lawyers, brokers and other people who were working for him — is evidence enough of the reality that a deal with Trump is less an agreement between equals than an opportunity for Trump to abuse and exploit the other party for his own benefit. For Trump, there is no such thing as a mutually beneficial relationship or a positive-sum outcome. In every interaction, no matter how trivial or insignificant, someone has to win, and someone has to lose. And Trump, as we all know, is a winner."

This is an actual turning point

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?

BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous


TRUMP: These are sick people

They have no intent of complying with a Supreme Court order, and the President is openly mocking American democracy on the worlds stage

They admit they wrongly deported him, but only in court documents:

Some comic relief as we’re on the cusp of the last guard rail buckling for American democracy
