If you really think about it, the liar in chief is the human trafficker
CNN's Elie Honig pours cold water on the DHS report citing a 2022 traffic stop to claim Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a human trafficker: "This is not the smoking gun that they‘re trying to sell it as... it is a huge leap to go from the facts we have to this man is a human trafficker."

This is the saddest thing I’ve seen 😭
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

OMG, he tricked us!!!
I know this will surprise folks who bought cars based on promises they'll be self-driving "next year," but he's now admitting that DOGE will only deliver on 7.5% of the promised $2,000b, and even that is only coming "next year."

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread):
1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

In the end, Trumpy will say that the problem was that the US and the American people were not up to his standards. That's why everything failed. It's even predictable.

How can he call it a fallacy when I wrote so many books and articles about it!!! 😡
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

The Fed spent down a lot of credibility when it looked through the temporary post-Covid inflation and managed to engineer a rare soft landing. But this probably means it has less of an ability to do so again now (less credibility). That means a more aggressive approach is probably optimal this time

"The specific tariffs they put on individual countries bear no relation to reality whatsoever. They make no sense. Whoever thought they were an economist in the White House ought to resign in disgrace."

If this were a thriller movie, somebody inside Google would be threatening to release or sell all this national security info being sent via gmail. The plot basically writes itself. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say
Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

This is basically a confession. How can you do it so stupidly that someone can “scheme” to get into that group.
Wow — Mike Waltz on Fox News suggests Jeffrey Goldberg somehow schemed his way into the Signal group instead of just being invited by accident

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

Authoritarianism happening here - right now. Couldn't be clearer. Trying to undermine the law as a check on their power.
Trump just directed the DOJ to attempt to disbar attorneys who take legal action against the executive branch while also indicating they will do the same to immigration attorneys.
