You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Something else - and no, I’m not making an original point here — that endlessly infuriates me about the trump administration’s siege of Springfield Ohio is that the Haitians are there primarily because they were invited there, largely by local conservative political and business leaders…

My guess is that there is enormous graft going on in federal contracting right now. These processes are less visible than grants in some ways, especially if there are no-bid contracts because of claims of an emergency. So when we see examples like this people should be concerned.

For example, a Texas law firm just received a $150 million one year grant to represent 24,000 children in immigration court. It has 26 employees. And does not specialize in immigration. The firm was co-founded by two Trump appointees.

ICE just paid $2.2 billion to purchase four prisons from a contractor, who will then still run the prisons for them. The whole point of contractors should be that you avoid making long-term capital investments that tie you down.

Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.
