I'm not the first person to raise this but one of the fascinating things about American politics and political reporting is how much a follow-up question short circuits the brains of the politicians (and is a shocking thrill to the audience)

Invest 24 minutes to learn more than you'd care to know about immigration, the ICE raids and agriculture. All of it.

Raucous Mamdani Rally Reveals that the Political Battle Stretches Far Beyond New York City
βWe are here tonight because we are ready to turn the page on the cynical, broken, politics of the past,β said New York Attorney General Letitia James.

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.
So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS wonβt agree to send him there because itβs not cruel enough.

Weβve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

what's actually happening is in the first instance a war for narrative control, not physical control. blinding a troop with a laser, to use a technical term, "looks bad" to normies. being normal and peaceful at masked thugs "looks good" to normies.
