This is what I was talking about before - the WH has been letting in more softball MAGA reporters who just want to help them advance their message. And it no longer publishes transcripts so to see how lazy and easy the Qs are you need to strap in and watch.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

The only people with any confidence in Donald Trump‘s handling of the economy are his hard-core base. When he starts falling into the 30s, which I expect soon, it will be more telling of the feeling that his supporters will not admit publicly.
