So here's my take on why Abrego Garcia is still in El Salvador. If his lawyers had quietly pointed out the error and asked nicely for him to be returned, he might've been. But they challenged Trump's authority and tried to MAKE him return him. So of course he will never be returned.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
