Let’s not forget that earlier today, this day was known as “we cannot build bananas in America” day. That is, until everything went bananas
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

There are lots of wrong definitions of habeas one could give, but this is just about the *most* wrong definition possible.
Imagine a cabinet member being asked to define freedom of speech and answering that it’s the government’s right to stop you from criticizing them. About the same.

The price tag is equal to
-50,000 live saved through USAID
-hundreds of thousands of cases of HIV prevented through PEPFAR
-1-10 years of space telescope operations, depending on the 'scope
-a year of the federal Narcan program that saves thousands of lives
-500,000 MMR shots
But muh efficiency!

April 25 1933: With astonishing speed just 1 month after passage of the Enabling Act, the German government issues the "Law against Overcrowding in Schools and Higher Education." Though the law's title was ambiguous, its aim was to remove all foreign and Jewish students. Institutions fell into line.

The straight-up Deutsche Volk supremacism here aside, Vance, Matt Taibbi, etc want us to simultaneously believe that European countries are totalitarian police states when it comes to speech and a bunch of hippie communes with no effective borders when it comes to immigration.
"Europe is on the brink of civilizational suicide," US Vice President Vance told Fox News. "Countries don’t control borders, restrict free speech. If Germany takes in millions more incompatible migrants, it’ll destroy itself. America can’t save it."

He gutted the Public Integrity Section, he fired the chief of organized crime and drug trafficking, and he fired the pardon attorney - all in one week. Andy McCabe and I discuss it all on tomorrow’s UnJustified podcast.
The Trump regime is reportedly planning to gut a unit within the DOJ that prosecutes corruption by elected officials.
This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law.
"Drain the swamp."
