President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

(I isolated Trump’s voice)

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.

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.

Would be cool if establishment and liberal Democrats acknowledged that the left was right about both ICE and Gaza and that they spent years lecturing us before concluding the same thing that we had been saying all along.

I’m sure this won’t happen again on the next divisive issue!

What's important here is that it's the ICE raids that are capturing their attention.

This is why the reliance on focus groups and polls and the inevitable claim that voters only care about "kitchen table" issues misses the mark.

It's cool to support the Rebellion. It's not cool to support the Empire.

We can’t say we didn’t know or didn’t see it coming when the mass killings start

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Leto is a bad actor who is also an even worse person and I just remain astounded he continues to get major roles. All of his movies flop!

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Jared Leto is a pedophile who makes disastrous movie after another and somehow hasn’t been canceled and keeps getting jobs, what kind of blackmail does he have

‘Tron: Ares’ grossed $14.3M in the film’s domestic opening day

That’s less than ‘Morbius’

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

I don’t know what the solution is here — more cops standing around playing Candy Crush doesn’t do shit — but this is heartbreaking.

And the guy who killed him was arrested repeatedly for assaults and other attacks.

This article is supportive of Zohran btw and I totally agree.

We don’t need a “Democratic Trump” but we absolutely need disruptive, populist leftism to have any chance of having a country again.

This country has gone off the rails and we are not going to get it back on track without Democrats who aren’t afraid to rock the boat.

The establishment’s status quo is exactly how we got here.

Non-Trump Republican judges seem to be doing a better job recognizing the stakes of the present moment than the modal elected Dem.
