Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

Yesterday, Labour moved the Overton window further right.
Today, Reform are sprinting into the gap with huge grins on their faces.
They know that the sort of people which Labour's anti-immigration stance appeals to would much prefer the Real Thing to Labour's pale shadow imitation.

In many ways the Labour and Conservative Party embrace of Brexit remains the original sin of British politics.
Of course other factors need to come into play too, but if UK governments are to break free from populist delusions they need to start being honest about the impact of leaving the EU.

There are many factors at play in how the discourse of UK political governments became detached from (geo)political reality, but a key aspect is in how both Labour and Conservatives came to assert supposed Brexit benefits that much of the rest of the country knows are pure fantasy

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

Interesting. And I like those inverted commas around “emergency” - that should be more of a standard practice with this Trump admin.
UPDATE: Today, DOJ filed an "emergency" motion in the Ninth Circuit seeking a stay of Judge Immergut's Nov. 7 ruling siding with Oregon (and others suing) in the case over Trump's effort to federalize and deploy National Guard troops in the state.

The real issue isn’t immigration, it’s the feedback loop: platforms amplify anxiety → voters feel it → politicians chase it → hollow policy follows. Until we break that cycle, we won’t get functional decisions or functional democracy.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

2) It is a complete distraction from the things that really matter

The memo purporting to offer a legal rationale for Caribbean boat strikes is awfully close to “assuming Trump’s lies are true, here’s a law that applies.”
But as @gregsargent.bsky.social notes, by trying to immunize officers who follow the orders, it’s practically a confession that they’re illegal.
