Trump's speech was billed as a message to ease worries about affordability. But the economy couldn’t maintain his interest and he referred to those concerns as a "hoax." 🔗 Full recap: www.inquirer.com/politics/d...

A big part of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway is under federal control (National Park Service) so they don’t have to coordinate with state & local authorities. I would take I-95 as an alternate where there is much higher traffic volume.
ICE is now setting up racial profiling checkpoints to stop people on major US highways. These checkpoints are being seen near Washington, DC on the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy, on the DC/Maryland border.

The attack was ordered by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is under scrutiny over a previous attack in which survivors were killed in a follow-up strike.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

Trump putting the Washington Post and CBS News in his “Offender Hall of Shame,” even as they bend over backwards to curry favor tells us that nothing short of full propaganda mode will ever be acceptable to him. There's no way for a news organization to maintain credibility and be "fair" to Trump.

Pete Hegseth claims that killing two men-clutching the debris of a boat the US had destroyed-was a lawful act
No indictment. No arrest. No trial. No conviction. Not even any proof they were drug runners
Just straight to execution of two people who were-at that point-absolutely no threat to the US

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
