Long neglected in Washington, Latin America is key to some of Donald Trump’s most cherished priorities: halting illegal migration, securing the southern land border, curbing the flow of narcotics into the US and rolling back Chinese influence. on.ft.com/4o6gvbV

President Trump has said that the U.S. military is attacking boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific because of the large numbers of fentanyl deaths in the U.S., claiming that those boats come from Venezuela. But experts say that efforts to tie Venezuela to the fentanyl crisis are misleading.

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress. But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files. Shameful.

Oh boy....

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Really important reporting from @propublica.org : "We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days." www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Choosing one of the world’s biggest artists to perform for one of the world’s biggest television audiences is "controversial" only to those who believe that anything that refuses to deify America as a white, English-speaking nation is unacceptable. My latest @globeopinion.bsky.social column.

Of all the news in this NYT survey of sitting federal judges - incl 47 of them think the SCt is mishandling its emergency docket - maybe the biggest is that 65 sitting fed judges (37D, 28R), folks circumspect for a living, responded to a NYT survey. Stunning. And a sign that something is very wrong.

Coates is incredible and he just destroyed Klein’s entire career here

Powerful new piece from Ta-Nehisi Coates @vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

The U.S. government is “weaponizing the immigration system in a manner that is completely unconstitutional,” Kilmar Ábrego García’s lead immigration lawyer said, after his client was rearrested in August.

WTF? Does “the right way” to “practice politics” include lying re factual matters (eg saying Black Women have too little brainpower to be “taken seriously”)?

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.
