DHS is a non-stop Kristi propagandizing operation 24/7. Despite everything the massive agency does every day, it’s all about Kristi all the time. Yesterday she rides horses. Today she’s signing stuff. Tomorrow she’s on a plane. Then new Kristi paintings. DHS - The Reality Show.

Maggie Haberman of NYT says Trump wanted to do tariff tricks in first term. Seems he was oppose by grown-up advisers who blocked his plan. Now the grown-ups have been replaced by advisers practice in Harslikhan.

Trump’s parents migrated to USA. Marco Rubio’s parents migrated there. Elon Musk a foreigner. Prob others in Trump circle of sycophants. Yet his toughest MAGA appeal is anti-immigration.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.
