New in PN: Trump's brownshirts deploy in DC
"Why wouldn’t he keep going? He’s got his list of cities. He’s teeing up his strike force. He’s seen the courts sit on their hands, owns the Republican majorities in Congress, and has military leaders who won’t balk at his abuses of power."

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist:

145. Justice Alito's Misbegotten Dissent in A.A.R.P.
Justice Alito's after-the-fact opinion dissenting from the Court's early-Saturday-morning Alien Enemy Act ruling rests on a revealing array of misrepresentations, misstatements, and non-sequiturs.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

I continue to think this story deserves wall-to-wall coverage. (It's front page on WaPo right now, but the NYT's long story on this is now buried at the bottom of its US News section, and the LAT is running the AP story below "More Headlines" in its politics section.)
This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave.

One of the early outrages in the Red Scare was Truman’s EO asserting that “sympathetic association” with communist groups was grounds for being fired from a federal job.
That was bad enough, but now they’re saying alien residents can be deported for what they claim are their “expected beliefs”
