NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

BTW in the historically-chaotic car market of the last five years prices have only risen by…21%. For many makes & models the Trump tariffs are going to cause a larger price spike than what they saw throughout the entire pandemic supply-chain shortage era.

Judge Henderson authors a very important concurrence stressing that Trump cannot rely on the Alien Enemies Act because the U.S. is not under a foreign "invasion or predatory incursion." It's a deeply textualist opinion that seems aimed at the Supreme Court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know there will be push back from this, but it won't take many states falling in line to ruin the next general election. All it has to be, is untrusted, and their mission is accomplished. This is all part of Project 2025's aims.
