They're doubling down on the message that Democrats are weakened by the shutdown, desperately trying to resist caving until the No Kings protests are over.
So they're daring Democrats to stay strong... and don't seem to have any fact-based arguments if they do?
What exactly is the rationale for keeping the remaining "non-fighters" being held in "administrative detention without trial"? Is it for future bargaining? If so, how is that any different from a hostage?
I keep hearing how utilities and regulators are planning to add new power for data centers for multiple competing AI companies, giving flashbacks to the Enron-era fiber glut.
When the startups eventually merge, will the resulting oversupply of generating capacity finally kill off coal plants?
Though that's usually because they know autocrats will put on a big shiny show and quash any dissent. It's not normal for the president of the host nation to say "don't come here, the cities are bad and we may deport you"

They only want the dramatically scored and professionally edited video with scary black and white slo-mo of alleged criminals being led away in chains. People taking cellphone videos of moms screaming "please help me, I'm a US citizen!" conflict with that goal.
I wonder if they will be able to sue to get out of the arrangement once Trump leaves office, claiming they didn't sue initially because of government coercion
