Because the media is already getting everything as wrong as they possibly can, let's go over what actually happened with Colombia yesterday. Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration. Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.

Canada needs a leader with the experience & expertise to guide our country through these challenges with a solid plan & the confidence to execute it. That’s why I’m endorsing Mark Carney to be the next leader of the Liberal Party & Prime Minister of Canada. Join us! Register to vote at Liberal.ca.

Strong recommend for @josh-kaplan.bsky.social’s “The Militia & the Mole.” Years ago it used to drive me crazy when magazine bros called a story they liked, usually a yarn about a heist, “bonkers.” That time is past, so it’s safe now: this story is bonkers. 1/ www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

A young Navy submarine officer named James “Jimmy” Carter helped avert a nuclear disaster in 1952.

Chart of the night. In 1952, there were nearly 58,000 cases of paralytic polio in the US. In 2023, there were 0. As @meganranney.bsky.social said on CNN tonight, revoking the polio vaccine would result in generations of kids experiencing disability and death. graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...
