Bari Weiss does not seem to have a good understanding of what's been going on with the Alien Enemies Act, including that courts -- including SCOTUS -- have repeatedly faulted the administration for failing to give detainees a meaningful opportunity to challenge being sent to El Salvador.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

He has been fixated on Ilhan Omar and Somalis for like six years now. I went to a rally in Minnesota right as he was getting into this stuff and there were men who I suspected had white supremacist tattoos.
Trump’s rant against the Somali community in Minnesota is disgraceful Nazi incitement and then he pivots to endorsing Mike Lindell for governor

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Today in the casual media normalization of personalist, nepotistic authoritarianism.

Jared Kushner holds no senior Senate-confirmed post in the US government. He is the son-in-law & business partner of the president. This is unprecedented, massive corruption & media outlets should treat it as such.

The message that Trump and Marco Rubio are sending is that America does not care about human rights and are all too happy to punish those who do. Even from a purely self-interested perspective, this makes no sense as it diminishes America's soft power in the world.
A Chinese dissident filmed Uyghur detention sites and then released the video on YouTube after fleeing China. He sought asylum in the US. Now the Trump admin wants to deport him to a country with strong ties to China.

I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.

The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.

He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.
