"The government needs some immigrants to self-deport, which means it needs them to be terrified to stay, which means it needs to inflict some kind of violence...The administration certainly isn’t acting like these killings get in the way of their policy goals." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Read Mona Charen on the proposed Arc de Trump. "What victory is Trump memorializing? The Iran War, clocking in at $113 billion so far, draining our munitions (that could have helped Ukraine), and leaving the regime in the hands of even more radical forces...?" open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"There’s no reason to think there’ll be any kind of fundamental change to this thuggish and lawless agency, or to the mass deportation agenda that incentivizes and excuses its thuggish and lawless behavior...The acts of our own government should make us ashamed." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"What we can do now is to check the injustice and limit the damage. We can pressure our representatives not to confirm someone like Todd Blanche and not to fund an agency like ICE. We can demonstrate love for our country by working to make it far less ugly." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Come for our outrage over ICE, our thoughts on Iran, and our solidarity with the Epstein survivors courageously stepping forward at the Blanche hearing. Stay for our showing the amazing public service announcement of the survivors on Blanche. www.youtube.com/live/KDq43YS...

"It will take quite a while to restore decency and responsibility to our public life. What we can do now is to check the injustice and limit the damage.

"The U.S. can destroy more, but Iran can disrupt more. Iran can lose every tactical encounter and still produce strategic effects. It can raise shipping costs, disrupt energy markets, strain American alliances, expose regional bases, and draw the U.S. in deeper..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

On how to win the Blanche fight—no matter what happens, on the need to fight to stop and indeed abolish ICE, on fighting Trumpist misinformation across the board. Tbh, kind of a fighting-oriented podcast with Tim here... youtu.be/k6OFz65BYdg?...
