ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Andy McCarthy, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, completely destroyed the notion that Democratic lawmakers Fox News has called the "Seditious Six" did anything illegal. Trump often praises McCarthy as he's a frequent guest on Fox News.

When Sean Duffy suggested Americans dress up to go to the airport even the folks at Fox News couldn't really get behind it. They kept saying they would wear sweatpants. There's not a huge leap between pajama pants, sweatpants and yoga pants. Tarlov was the voice of reason.

This headline is a bit of a miss, since the point is that Trump never really leaned into the idea of no new wars *in a second term* though he didn’t object to allies doing it for him. There isn’t much hypocrisy here; “anti-war” wasn’t a big driver.
