New in PN: Blanche is Roy Cohn ... but worse "As they do when Trump serves up a shit sandwich of corruption seasoned w/ self-dealing, some GOP senators are pretending they might not give him what he wants. But barring something unexpected, they'll vote for Blanche, blessing the chaos that follows."

Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act. But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.
