Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Among the companies I've worked at, I've had wonderful co-workers from England, Vietnam, Iran, Italy, China, Japan... T**** has decided he can send them to El Salvador, making the USA a far less safe and productive place to run a business.

Congratulations to all the 14 yr old Floridians & Arkansans whose governors want them to drop out of school & work 13 hour shifts to screw in tiny screws on iPhones so the tech/crypto bros in the govt can have the newest iPhones to react with a fire emoji to the classified intel in the group chat

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

Trump is the most economically illiterate President of my lifetime. Which is particularly disturbing when you consider that his supporters love him because he’s, in their view, a business genius.

If Joe Biden had promised to lower prices on day one and then flip-flopped and said pain was coming instead, the press would be asking him why he lied to the American people.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know. But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media. Asshole.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.
