This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Media sneering about "anti-Trump" politics reflects a deeper inability to acknowledge that he's really unpopular. To some journos, "anti-Trump" codes as "delusional Resistance doesn't grasp Trump's mystical connection w/Real American People."
