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!!!

Either it stops here, or we fall into the abyss. There is no coming back from this. Anybody anywhere can be plucked off the street, denied all due process, and disappeared.

The most revolting Oval Office presser since Feb. 28 (the Zelensky one).
Even just hitting a few of the lowlights of this will leave you sickened and dismayed.
BUT it's also clarifying. Anyone who has been talking about "the road to authoritarianism" can stop that now. The road is behind us.

In a functioning democracy, these comments alone would be grounds for impeachment.
Trump brags about his shakedown of major law firms: "We have a lot of law firms that have paid me a lot of money... they paid $100m on average... hopefully I won't need that many legal fees. I may. Who knows? After it ends. After I leave maybe I'll need it, but if I do it won't be very pleasant."

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.
Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

As global markets melt down, Trump is turning to … pro golf.

It’s another example of Trump prioritizing his relationships with the Saudis — they own LIV — and blending his personal business and presidential office.
