One man was taken to hospital for exposure. The other waited out the siege and was taken to safety after the agents left."

The context: this ties to a Trump decision dating to the first 72 hours of his administration to stand down all cybersecurity operations targeting Russia, creating an open gap for Russian influence operations.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

Who gets the blame for the ACA price inflation? Trump and the GOP do. Moreover, it's clear that they made a series of moves explicitly designed to precipitate the crisis.
Enten on Trump being 40 points underwater on healthcare: "That is gosh darn awful! It's horrendous ... the bottom line is Americans very much dislike Donald Trump on healthcare ... this is just awful politics for Republicans ... they don't buy the Republican spin at all"

Across Europe, detailed analyses are running in papers reaching the conclusion, based on statements from Trump and his entourage, that the invasion of Venezuela is all about seizing the country's oil reserves, and that drug trafficking was completely pretextual. Nothing like this in the US. Curious

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).
