Turns out Donald Trump is the one giving dictatorship lessons. El Salvador had agreed to imprison assured Tren de Aragua members only. But, untold numbers of the deportees have no criminal record—some were shipped there by mistake, including Abrego Garcia, and 8 women (CECOT is a male-only prison).

The president’s words and actions on this case have been atrocious. But as of Wednesday, the clock on his antics is now ticking fast.

A bomb threat at Barnard College targeted the “terrorists/communists that are protesting.” But you wouldn’t know that from the school’s statements.

Trump 'slurred' Schumer as a Palestinian. In most parts of the world, it's a compliment.
