This means nothing less than the Trump Administration is in open defiance of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Host: You could call and get Abrego Garcia back.
Trump: I could
Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release.

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

CNN's Elie Honig pours cold water on the DHS report citing a 2022 traffic stop to claim Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a human trafficker: "This is not the smoking gun that they‘re trying to sell it as... it is a huge leap to go from the facts we have to this man is a human trafficker."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Imagine if there were a place you could present evidence and someone could decide if you were right
UPDATE: Bondi released what she touted as new evidence against Mr. Abrego Garcia. It's not new. It's the gang worksheet from the disgraced cop in 2019.
But it does explain this ridiculous claim by Tricia McLaughlin. She... thought a picture on a hoodie was the same thing as rolls of actual cash.
