If you read this report, you understand how the scam is going to work: El Salvador will refuse to return people the Trump administration is supposed to be "facilitating" the return of by claiming that they have _their own national interest_ in keeping them. It's a scam...and it's Human Trafficking.

This was pretty much how the hearing went. Judge Xinis has ordered daily updates from the government. The government says they won't have information daily. "Well then you can tell that to the public every day in your updates."

Kilmeade: All these deals are going to be better Jessica: I don't know why you think that's going to be the case. Trump says we have raw deals with Canada and Mexico. He negotiated the USMCA himself. He doesn't have a track record of doing this.

After the leader “unleashed the water in CA”, “raised the pressure in your shower”, now “he will give you more daylight”. Aside from the idea of not changing the clocks, the phrasing of it all is quite bizarre

I missed this yesterday, but it is good news! The UK will not make any changes to online safety laws as part of US trade negotiations (i.e. the laws will not be weakened) Labour have said. We are seeing our current laws being put into action for the first time at the moment... 1/2

I'm at the stage where I am reluctant to talk about RFK Jr or highlight his errors and misinformation. This is exactly what happened during the pandemic with anti-vaxxers when I realized it was better to share accurate information than debate their misinformed comments or give them a platform.

All thanks to John Roberts and this sentence: The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. SCOTUS should have denied the application outright.

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador: "There's no reason that this case needed to become a national issue." I beg to differ. While I agree that it's the government's fault, everyone should know what they're doing to this man.

BREAKING: The Court has folded. The Trump administration wins. As expected. Shame on those major-media journalists who falsely told the public yesterday that the Supreme Court order upheld rule of law. In fact, it facilitated this travesty of justice today. It is unlikely Garcia will ever return.
