This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

RFK Jr's always going on about "healthy" and what he means is a mixture of nihilism and eugenics, that public health and medicine are pointless because "unhealthy" people are going to (and deserve to) die anyway. Never mind the kid's death was easily preventable. Call them "unhealthy" and move on.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

It’s pretty enervating that cruelly “deporting” legal residents to a slave camp in El Salvador, child separation, ruining the lives of thousands of public servants, bombing civilian dwellings by emoji, etc., didn’t move the needle for anyone in the Beltway, but crashing the stock market did

Another one for the “economic concerns as a mask for cultural concerns” file. This delusion that manufacturing jobs will come roaring back if we cast the right policy spell isn’t really about that being a desirable economic goal, but about romanticizing Manly Work.
