One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Trump is now arresting Putin's opponents in the U.S. and sending them back to Russia so Putin can imprison or kill them.
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.
A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Back in 2018 when I started seeing pro-Trump protesters on the streets of Portland wearing "Pinochet did nothing wrong" t-shirts with RWDS on the sleeve and cartoons on the back celebrating the throwing of communists out of helicopters...it seemed clear the GOP was heading to a dark place.
For example. This guy was later asked to provide security for GOP events in the Portland area. He’s now in jail. RWDS on his sleeve stands for “Right Wing Death Squad.”

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

folks, if they deported people during the break in the hearing about deporting exactly these people, we’re in completely lawless territory.
if the government can engage in irreparable harm while the judge is hearing argument, there’s no real process left.

UPDATE: Lawyer for govt, Drew Ensign, cited 'grave national security issue' in declining to discuss current state of the deportations in a public hearing, so judge took it private. But looks like one El Salvador-bound flight took off during a break in the hearing www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

the media has, as far as i can tell, voluntarily opted to not cover the social media history of trump/musk staffers. it is not like “the president is surrounded by nazis, at least one of whom was selling services to csam cyberextortionists” is something that would generate zero clicks.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
