When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable.
But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

NEW: Once exceptionally rare, illegal deportations — in defiance of court orders or due to ICE screw-ups — are now a routine part of President Trump's mass deportation push.

Yes, I know the law says that it's criminal to bribe people for their votes, but not when the president does it, because he is above criminal law. Else he would not be free to make the tough choices, like whether to bribe people for their votes.

Yes exactly. It just did this! It’s not speculation or future-tripping. It happened!
We don't even need the doomer argument. An AI agent escaping its sandbox, accessing a real company's systems and operating outside its instructions is already a serious safety failure. If labs can't control their agents, independent audits and mandatory incident reporting aren't optional anymore.
