An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

This was three months ago.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

47 MISUSES EXECUTIVE ORDERS As one Congresswoman noted yesterday, why has the media failed to even question, how the President used two executive orders to investigate two people involved in providing information during his impeachment trials in his previous administration? Chris Crebbs

Exclusive: Military contractors are pitching the White House on an unprecedented prison plan for detained immigrants. Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants to cut a deal to skirt immigration laws and transport detainees from the U.S. to El Salvador.

The GOP Congress continues to fail its duties, but Trump might have awoken a leviathan. Trump's most concrete economic goal was to lower the 10-year Treasury yield, and instead he sent it up. It went up again today despite what should've been a reassuring CPI report. Bond markets don't trust him.

Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet is running for governor of Colorado next year, according to two sources familiar with his plans.

According to media reports, the list of Trump collaborator Big Law firms may grow to include: A&O Shearman Cadwalader Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins Simpson Thacher If they do, they would join the already disgraced: Skadden Arps Paul Weiss Milbank Willkie Farr

The wingtip of an American Airlines regional jet clipped another on the taxiway at Reagan National Airport Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration said. At least two congressional representatives appear to have been aboard one of the planes.

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.

Like clockwork. He is a chaos monkey throwing feces.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

These segments about Taiwan on @pbsnews.org are amazing. This focuses on the Taiwanese and Ukrainian parallels and support between the two nations. youtu.be/0ZSsgK5Ta7U?...

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

While Rubio presides over the rendition of innocent men to indefinite slavery in foreign prisons, one of his top security men is arrested in Brussels for allegedly getting physical with cops after attacking hotel staff who wouldn't open a bar after closing time. The best people.

The Trump Admin sent armed marshals in a mafia-style intimidation campaign to silence and intimidate a witness set to testify in my spotlight hearing with @schiff.senate.gov. Today, Liz Oyer appeared undaunted, standing for what is right, lawful and just, to give her testimony.
