The state decided it wants to crush just one guy who *didn't do anything wrong*.
They picked Kilmar Abrego Garcia because they thought he'd be an unsympathetic target for their abuses. They put in little effort and it turns out he wasn't, that made them look bad, and they're taking it out on him.

So, as of now, all we lost in threatened tariffs round 1 is the remaining good will of millions of people who live adjacent to our country and spend a ton of money on stuff we sell. Cool.
So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.
