Trump on Kim Jong Un: "He's a friend of mine…I like him. I get in a lot of heat when I say that. People say, 'That's terrible.' He does have a nuclear capacity, pretty large…As long as I'm around he's going to be fine. You know why? Because he respects me and he likes me."

Awful: The Supreme Court just let Trump's third-country deportations move forward. Still a shot at stopping them later but unlikely. Reminder: If Dems win power, they can and should defund both the white-nationalist Office of Remigration and third-country deportations, as I argue in this piece:

A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”
