The smart kids told us that it was a mistake to focus on the rendition of the Maryland man to El Salvador because immigration was Trump’s strong suit. But, as Aaron Blake notes, “The new NYT/Siena poll shows Kilmar Abrego Garcia is tied for Trump's worst issue.”

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
