Trump created a Board of Peace, which is not part of the U.S. government, and dubbed himself chairman for life. This means he will still be in charge of the board once he’s out of office.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Trump's immigration crackdown is not about law & order. He has a vendetta against immigrants who followed the law, too His EOs threaten to punish legal immigrants by doubling their taxes (invoking a never-used 1934 law); expatriating their kids; and blocking them from the US entirely wapo.st/4hkbEB6

He’s not just going after foreigners who break the law.

Important to realize scope of what's happening and how different it is from headlines: -Not just getting rid of post-2020 DEI practices, setting up an attack on post-1965 civil rights law and practices -Not just cracking down on illegal immigration, expelling legal immigrants and blocking refugees
