Donald Trump has illegally invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants he deems to be members of criminal gang Tren de Aragua.

This was last invoked during WWII to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans.

NEW: The American people are turning against Elon Musk. His approval rating has plummeted to -11 from +29 in 2016, per a new Quinnipiac poll.

53% oppose him having a key role in a Trump admin, with just 39% in support—dropping to 36% among independents.

Opinion | Trump returns — and so does his astounding ignorance If you feel off-kilter, you’re in good company. The president seems downright bewildered.

There is nothing like being governed by ignorance. Dana Milbank explains why Trump's 'reign' may baffle us daily. #potus #politics

I took Russian Lit in prep school and “Crime and Punishment” was required. My favorite was “The Brothers Karamazov”. Book I wish I had read is “War and Peace”.

I was recently gifted "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King. It promises to be a great read.
