So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

5/ Well, the kindest characterization I can come with is "naive." I really see it as the latest example of many of the structural failure of elite American political journalism.

4/ The would-be junta simply buys the outlets...Washington Post-Bezos. CBS-Ellison. Murdoch--well, everywhere. Etc.To imagine that Weiss, never an actual newsperson, long a propagandist repeatedly shown to act in bad faith, is somehow a victim of sexism when her intentions are questioned is...

3/ That many journalists, apparently, including you, find it particularly difficult to perceive and name what's happening to and around you in the media ecosystem.

The old joke about coups was that the first place the colonels seized was the radio station. We're so much more genteel now...

"Human Nature" is the best song on Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' (1982). Agree or disagree?

2/ The idea that we're immersed in a putsch by right wing financial elites & a populist political movement is uncomfortable, I know. But while Atlantic and NYT journalists appear to be blinded by the illusion of "normal" politics, the evidence gets ever more apparent. And it seems...

I fear I see this not as a courageous & insightful take that counters "hysteria;" it is entirely consistent with what many (me included) have diagnosed as a structural failure in legacy elite journalism: the inability to grasp the plain facts of anti-democratic authoritarianism as they play out...1/

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."
