How Trump Accidentally Sabotaged His Own Case Against Abrego Garcia
Trump has now admitted twice that he could bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home, but says his lawyers are telling him not to. This was a very dumb move—and also a very revealing one.

22 weeks apart.
Two front pages of the Economist. The first is dated October 25, 2024 and says “The Envy of the Workd” and has dollars bill rocketing into the sky in celebration of the US economy.
The second front page is dated this week April 5th. It’s headline is “Ruination Day” and pictures Trump sawing a hole in the group the shape of the US.

Here's a quick summary of DOJ's position in the AEA case: 1) We're not going to tell you who we've detained, 2) we're not going to tell you where they are detained, 3) we're not going to tell you why they're detained, 4) you should've filed habeas wherever they are, 5) whoops they're gone, too late.
