In our normal criminal justice system, the location of everyone detained is always known and available to their family and attorney. People must realize that simply disappearing people lies outside our system of justice. This is the kind of thing we would criticize in other countries. Now, it’s us!

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

So, Rubio not knowing much about the Trump-Putin plan doesnt mean that the Trump administration did not. Vance certainly seems delighted with the proposal. It means that Rubio is less influential than people think.

What we might be learning tonight. JD Vance is on the inside with lots of influence over Trump policy towards Russia/Ukraine, while Rubio is kept in the dark.
Vance, btw, might be the most pro Russian/anti Ukraine person in the administration (other than Trump perhaps)

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes
It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser
3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats

Between the shutdown, the drops in bitcoin and some speculative stocks, the electoral losses, and maybe a shift in the economy it does seem like Trump lost the new part of his coalition over the past month (plus some true believers like MTG):
