I’ve received countless text solicitations for donations over the past week. 1 or 2 of them were well crafted AND compelling. I responded STOP to each and every one.

Trump’s Running Tab in the Abrego Garcia Case
Rather than admit a mistake, the Trump administration is trying to build a criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia by cutting deals with felons, driving out federal prosecutors, and threatening to deport him again, @NickMiroff writes.

Inside the Negotiations Over Abrego Garcia’s Release
The administration is cutting deals with felons, driving out federal prosecutors, and threatening to abandon its criminal case—all to avoid admitting error.

The investigators suspect the letter was to benefit a separate individual..."
