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.

Yet again Trump is taking credit for what Biden did.

We had a president in Joe Biden who cared about public service, employing government to make lives better and speaking out about kindness, decency and democracy. That’s what a real president does and sounds like.

The media won't acknowledge it but there is no justification for Trump's South African immigration policy (in comparison to South and Central America) other than white supremacy. Every article about Trump and immigration should be using a form of the phrase "white supremacy."

Yes, the level of invention, fiction and fanatacism here hard to put into words. This bill is going to explode the deficit which is a reason Moody’s downgraded. They cannot admit to the clear “sky is blue” reality of what they are doing.

Bernie & I visited the arboretum today. We backtracked twice, as trails were blocked after Thursday’s storm. Other trails had been cleared, so enjoyed our walk. No Bernie photo from the walk, but here’s a “Can you share that?” picture. #WalkingWithBernie #OurBeagleBernie #LillianAndersonArboretum

Last night we had a wild storm: wind, rain, non-stop lightning. Bernie just snoozed through it. When we had a brief tornado warning, we invited him to join us in our safe spot. He calmly found his bed, curled up, and went back to sleep. #OurBeagleBernie

One of our favorite walking trails is at Kleinstuck Preserve, and today it didn’t disappoint. We even saw a couple deer - one relaxing on a hillside, one nervously crossing the path to find greens to munch. (No photos, though.) #WalkingWithBernie #OurBeagleBernie #KleinstuckPreserve

He declared an "emergency" at the border in order to abduct people of color. He declared an energy "emergency" in order to bypass vetted permit approvals for oil and gas companies. He declared an "emergency" with trade in order to leverage companies with 'tariff exceptions'. Get it yet?

Last month I helped transport Puppy. He was a big guy & really wanted to join me in the front seat! Today I helped transport the bottom 2, Skittles & Lemon Drop. They were affectionate (lots of kisses), & spent the drive snoozing. All 3 went to foster homes, to get ready for their future families.

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale. That actually happened today.
