Gift to good summary by @jamellebouie.net about how DJT policies are ineffective, unsustainable, and will be reversed. Not minimizing the damage they have already inflicted on the country and the world.

"his immigration policies started w a broad assertion of executive authority. They then produced an enormous backlash from Americans under siege by ICE+CBP. The resistance in Minnesota underscored how the pres. cannot withstand significant pushback...ultimately forced him to fire his DHS secretary"

"Under the direction of Stephen Miller, WH deputy chief of staff & architect of the deportation program, the admin has used its court-sanctioned authority to build a roving secret police used to terrorize political enemies & remove as many immigrants as possible, regardless of legal status."

Went to Telemundo44/NBC studios in DC to talk about a president trying to a more important religious leader than the Pope in a showcase of "delusional omnipotence" in relation to national and international affairs.

Knowing nothing about Hungary and assuming the election goes as expected, the one key takeaway I can offer is that illiberalism isn’t immune to the kind of antisystem demand for change that illiberals benefit from when they are the opposition

This is a revisit of Holy War discourse, but with different actors claiming the legitimacy to speak in the name of Christianity. This mirrors the theocratic language of Iran. It is an open invocation of White Christian Nationalism in the U.S. But in a way that may alienate many Catholics and others.

With the overt refferences about God being on the side of the U.S. attacks on Iran, the President, Vice-President, and Secretary of War rethorically invite the Pope to give his position on issues, which carries all the wait of the position and the Vatican. Spoke to N+ Univision about the subject.

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.

The ‘victims’ left in Kristi Noem’s wake: ‘The damage is done. To me, to the Americans who have been murdered, to the migrants’ People who were injured, arrested, or deported by the former US Secretary of Homeland Security are celebrating her departure

"Some have preferred to leave the country; many have decided they don’t want to come here, even with papers. The psychological, moral, and economic damage will take decades to repair.” El País U.S. has published the official English version of this article by Carla Gloria Colomé, worth a read.
