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.

I'd venture this backlash isn’t just because of one Epstein PR mistake. It’s because Trump smells weak and vulnerable, and his supporters are looking for an exit. The MAGA types loved Trump because he made them feel like winners. And right now he doesn’t.
That doesn't mean we win, yay, time to kick back. His supporters are in an abusive relationship, and they will find it hard to leave.
What this means is − keep the pressure up. ←
Worth skimming this whole roundup from @…. I just don't think the backlash happens without larger underlying weakness.

People talk about how politics shouldn't be like sports. I think it depends a lot on what sports though.
Like, imagine if politicians had to wear the logos of every company they worked stock in and every company that donated to their campaigns like they're driving NASCAR. Of all sports, almost no one wants anything to be more like NASCAR... And yet, when you think about it, there actually *are* some hints we could take from it.

Two things can be true, even if they seem in opposition.
Hitler's race law was based on Jim Crow. Lebensraum was a direct translation of Manifest Destiny to Europe. The genocide of indigenous Americans was the inspiration and roadmap for the Holocaust. Red Summer was a genocide event. Chinese exclusion was a genocide event. The genocide of indigenous Americans continued, and the Dakota Access Pipeline is an example of that continuance.
And... Trumpian fascism is new phase of America that's markedly different than anything that anyone alive had ever experienced. Trump was inspired by Hitler's speeches and read them regularly. He admires Hitler and tries to emulate him. The language he used during his first campaign were developed by Neonazi groups like Aryan Brotherhood working with the KKK. His image was shaped by white and Christian nationalists, as is his platform today. He is a new and more dangerous kind of monster. The death camps are new. The scale of what's happening is new. The concentration of power is new.
These can both be true, and are.
