On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that he has “a hard issue with TPS to begin with, because we don’t ever end it. We always extend it.” And said that there are already “pretty generous” asylum laws for people who need help. Mullin said, [relevant remarks begin around 5:30] “Unfortunately, TPS turns into a permanent status. We have people that [have] been here for 30 years, and then when we say we’re going to end protected status for you, they end up coming in and saying, well, wait a second, it’s…
The newspaper USA Today reported on Wednesday, citing anonymous “sources familiar,” that the Pentagon was “quietly ramping up” a plan to attack Cuba — a report that followed similar rumors on Substack. USA Today offered few details about what the alleged “possible” military engagement was or would look like, not referring to it as an invasion or attack but merely an “operation.” An expert quoted in the USA Today article itself dismissed the rumors as “a lot of signaling” with minimal material evidence that any such operation was imminent. The report does follow months of President Donald Trump telling reporters that he…

Canadian politics, which I think is, you know, different, but not that different from how it looks from, say, France or England or a lot of places, which is that Donald Trump started this, didn’t consult. Now things are pretty messed up and unresolved, and everyone else has to kind of figure out…

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said President Donald Trump had “blundered this nation into a war of choice” with Iran. Kaine said, “This war is deeply unpopular and of course it is. You go into a war with no rationale, with no plan, no work to get allies on board, no consultation with Congress, certainly not a vote by Congress. And guess what? It doesn’t work out well. And the American people really hate this war. I represent Virginia, a very pro-military state, but a lot of folks in my state have sons, daughters and…
