Trump set to expand immigration crackdown in 2026 despite brewing backlash
U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing for a more aggressive immigration crackdown in 2026 with billions in new funding, including by raiding more workplaces — even as backlash builds ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

Putin leveraging his reflexive control over Trump, best manifested by the Trump NSS, and now shoving the result at the Europeans to rub their faces in Putin's dominant control of Trump.
Russia is not mentioned as an enemy [in the new security strategy]. But NATO Secretary General is getting ready for a war with us.
What is that? You can read, can't you? How are you targeting NATO for a war with Russia if the main NATO country does not see us as an adversary and an enemy?

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

This 👇. My go-to explanation since the boat strikes and navy buildup began in late summer: They're bootstrapping a justification for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport people domestically.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Gallego: "This is the Iraq War 2.0 with a South American flavor.
