Trump's immigration crackdown is not about law & order. He has a vendetta against immigrants who followed the law, too His EOs threaten to punish legal immigrants by doubling their taxes (invoking a never-used 1934 law); expatriating their kids; and blocking them from the US entirely wapo.st/4hkbEB6

A known, paid Russian propagandist ... being treated like a journalist while much of the legitimate press is locked out. Shame on any MSM still attending these, and treating propaganda and lies like actual "news" conferences. I didn't think the media could disappoint any more, but here we are.

Once again, this Administration is playing a reckless game with foreign policy. A leaked EO shows plans to slash staffing at the U.S. Embassy in Canada and gut the Bureau of African Affairs. Because clearly, alienating allies and dismantling diplomacy is the key to "greatness," right?

There is only one way to end the war: put pressure on the Russians. The Trump people did the opposite: put pressure on Ukraine, and relieved pressure on Russia. They have made the war worse while talking of "peace."

"All of these things that sound like cliches are actually really important. If you’re walking down the street and someone grabs you and says 'You’re illegal' and wants to send you to El Salvador, you have the right to a fair trial. That’s the essence of democracy."

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

“Mr Trump’s grin mocked the principle that America is a place where the government cannot suspend rights whenever it chooses and where the chief magistrate willingly defers to the highest court. In other words, that America is not El Salvador.” www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
