I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Let me clarify, bc there are a lot of other facts that are important too.
These all take Trump at his claimed word, to want to combat fraud, antisemitism, and China--that's what right wingers claim they're getting w/Trump.
Only Trump has failed them all.

3 facts that should drive the news:
1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud.
2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities.
3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

#TrumpTariffs have now brought West Texas Intermediary (WTI) below $59/barrel.
This will crush the Texas Energy Complex. Wellheads will be capped and new CapX for Oil & Gas exploration & production will be halted.
This is going to hit the Texas economy hard in late 2025 & 2026.

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

For those waiting on me to describe Stephen Miller's meltdown in response to the. 4th C Abrego Garcia opinion, this has been his only tweet since then.
So he's alive, in that inimitable undead way, but not able to speak.
Maybe John Sauer told him to shut his trap.

They're owned by big corporations. Why would corporations want to broadcast news about an anti-oligarchy movement across the country.
They won't want to give this any more coverage than absolutely necessary.
Unless one day, there is violence or an arrest.
THEN it'll be wall to wall coverage.
