NEW: The Trump administration admitted in a court filing that ICE lied about having an arrest warrant when they detained our client Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation for his protected speech. This confirms what we already knew: The government is intent on punishing Mahmoud by any means necessary.

NEW COLUMN: It's absurd for President Trump and his team to act like they cannot easily free Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador's prisons. But what if we were to play along with this performance? What are Trump's options? My latest: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

This week you'll start seeing reporting that DOGE's special government employees (SGEs) have 130-day terms that expire shortly. This has no basis in fact. When those people don't leave their jobs, perhaps then the puzzled reporters will actually take 10 minutes to research their claims.

“Loyalty is the most important political virtue,” Jack Posobiec, a MAGA operative and podcaster, said. “In Dante’s Inferno, the lowest circle of Hell was reserved for those who were betrayers. Our job is to have the President’s back.”

Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.

1. Something that many people may have missed but that was an extremely revealing & dog whistling statement #PierrePoilievre made towards the end of #Debate2025. It was a parroting of Pete Hegseth. Poilievre is so mired in the MAGAsphere that he just can’t help but parrot MAGA ideology. #MapleMAGA

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

You could say they're about national security, but then why would you tariff everything? It could be about manufacturing, but why then tariff vanilla from Madagascar? It could be about reciprocity, but why aren't they tailored to the specific tariffs that other countries have?
