Praeli: I think what you see across the country is that families are facing skyrocketing prices for food, housing, child care, elder care β€” and immigration policies are directly tied to these.

. . . self-deport, and which country has indicated it would welcome him, is "prejudicial" to the interests of the United States. Is it prejudicial because the United States cannot tolerate a migrant publicly and notoriously "winning" in this manner?

So interesting that the government's position is that Mr. Abrego may seek to transfer to Costa Rica after he is removed from the United States to Liberia, but removing Mr. Abrego directly to Costa Rica, where he has indicated he would voluntarily . . .

Thank you Roger. Hard to feel anything but disgust right now, but history will look back on this and tell this story, and we are grateful you keep sharing with us. We are living through the reason new laws and regulations will be made. Surreal.

In related (speculative) news:

Now we see why Trump needed JD Vance in the room for Oval Office meeting w/ Zelensky. If Vance hadn’t been there to keep things antagonistic, Trump might've become smitten with Zelensky & announced he was moving to Ukraine. 🀣

I have an announcement.
I have, like a real man, recaulked and resealed my shower.
I will never, ever do this again, and the next time I will pay a plumber or handyman, even if it has to be in gold bullion, to do it.

The thing is, we can disagree about all kinds of policies, and still fundamentally agree on some basic principles of government. I think many of us have rediscovered that, which is one good thing that comes out of all this.

With that said, sure, I am more liberal than I used to be, but some of that also might be age. (Easier to be in favor of the death penalty, for example, when you’re young and brash and you think you’re immortal.)

My son, a few years older than Tatiana, died of AML 6 months ago. We know why he got it, as it was a secondary cancer caused by the cure of his testicular cancer.

During his treatment at a top cancer institute on the West Coast, I constantly worried he would be denied care due to the insanity in DC

Caroline Kennedy carries so much grief.
Her father assassinated.
Her uncle assassinated.
Her brother dead.
Now her daughter will die young.
It is debilitating to think of her losses.

Say what you want about Lizza (there is a lot to say) but I do appreciate his timing with Ms.Schlossberg’s essay. You get the whole horrible picture of RFK, Jr.

Hard to imagine the degree of self-absorption it would take to do that to family.

But then we have the recent musings from Nuzzi and Lizza to detail just how self absorbed Bobby so clearly is.

Doctor here. Her story is that of tens of thousands of Americans.
Another example: When Chad Boseman was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, his 5 yr survival was <14%: he died in 2020. Today his 5 yr survival would be >55%. So tragic.
RFK Jr HALTED PROGRESS.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
