One thing that really sucks about this:
We don’t know the origin of COVID with any certainty.
There is evidence stacked on both sides.
Turning the lab leak theory into a political hit job/conspiracy page, though, will make it harder for reasonable folks to keep an open mind.

Y’know how in crime movies there’s that subplot where the administration is secretly working with the crime family to keep control over things?
Welcome to El Salvador, where the US Treasury has sanctioned the guy in charge of the prisons where Trump is illegally disappearing people.

Just a billionaire treating politics like billionaires treat business:
If I do something good (profitable) the praise (profit) is all mine.
If I do something bad (losses) the responsibility (losses) is all someone else’s.

Yes, Trump does have political instincts. And you can often tell when Trump senses a topic is a political loser because he claims to know very little about it and starts passing the buck.
Trump: "You're talking about Abrego Garcia -- is an illegal alien MS-13 gang member and foreign terrorist. This comes out of the State Department and very legitimate sources I assume. I'm just giving you what they handed to me but this is supposed to be certified stuff."

Good - now move him to “comparatively better” conditions on a plane headed back to the US, along with all the other men sent down there in defiance of Judge Boasbergs order, and give them all the due process guaranteed under law.
At a press conference, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen said that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been moved from the notoriously harsh CECOT prison in El Salvador to a different facility where the conditions are comparatively better.
He met with Abrego Garcia yesterday at his hotel.

I know Trump has defied SCOTUS and thrown us into a constitutional crisis today, but I just wanna remind everyone that Bill Maher had dinner with him and said he’s not like this in private, so I’m sure we’ll all be fine.

Anyone know where to place a bet on Schumer “fight(ing) it in every single way”? I’ve gotta make up for those stock market losses somewhere.
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Can’t get Xi to negotiate a trade deal.

Further unfolding of the American police state & gulag: 1) seizure of land as "military bases" to be able to use military against civilians. It's quaint that experts in the article think Posse Comitatus will hold and that being challenged in courts will stop the Trump admin.
BREAKING: Army will control land on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a base, a move that could allow troops to detain migrants, AP sources say.
US Army to control land on Mexico border as part of base, migrants could be detained, officials say
A long sliver of federal land along the U.S.-Mexico border that President Donald Trump is turning over to the Department of Defense would be controlled by the Army as part of a base, a move that could allow troops to detain any trespassers, including migrants.

The private prison industry in the US cannot be happy with the idea that so many of their sources of income will be shipped to other countries, where the US will pay as much if not more for their detainment.

Joanne did the Seig Heil Nazi salute several times last night the Huntington Beach City Council chambers last night during the council meeting, and publicly identified herself.
Many in the chambers were disgusted by her actions -- the council itself didn't seem to care.
