Per Jose Olivares on X, here is a likely quid for the CECOT pro quo. Trump is dropping criminal charges against multiple serious MS-13 leaders we are currently trying to prosecute. Many of them are “inconvenient” to Bukele, as they previously admitted to working with him before the truce broke.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

The idea that ICE is only targeting criminals, but that other people just get caught up in that effort is a lie to allow people to pretend what's happening is not what's happening. They always wanted this; they chanted "mass deportations now!" at rallies. They want to make America more white again

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Just a quick update on flight safety. It's on everyone's minds and I would like to provide a very important statistic. So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001. And yes, we are referring to 9/11. It's only May.

One odd thing abt NYT story on deal with Bukele (aside from the very credulous view it gives of Stephen Miller plan, which is par for the course) is they make zero mention of significance of this, which is likely reason Bondi reversed press protections. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

When might we begin to see research results about the level of cognitive decline caused by COVID? I really think that this is a significant factor in so many things right now including politics. People are struggling to keep information straight and to make any sort of connections at all.

I don’t buy that he was “going to the back of his office where he could access a wifi signal. That office is a SCIF, the windows even have RF shielding films and mesh, a wifi signal won’t penetrate it. And you can’t exactly call Comcast to install a line, so if he had a “dirty” line, it’s Starlink.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.
