Assignment Desk: How much “due process” did Eisenhower give during his 1954 Operation Wetback [their name, not mine] https://t.co/iWHcz6Jlhd Can we do better than that? Did it make Eisenhower, overall, a proto-fascist authoritarian?

That’s why these ”summits” are so corrupting. Can’t go too hard on Ferguson if you want him to show up at next “summit.” Same for any other Trump official (or any valuable “get”). https://t.co/tZKyQVGrYJ

The odd thing about the story “Elon Musk Reportedly Now Privately Admitting He’s Out of His Depth” currently headlined on Drudge is that there is nothing in it about Elon Musk privately admitting he’s out of his depth.

.@Politico looks ridiculous here. Lizza wrote that his former employer wasn’t “meeting the … moment,” among other things. He says this was “not disparaging.” Of course it’s disparaging! Failing to meet the moment is a Class A Felony in Washington. Politico still looks https://t.co/Nh5owIipGY

Anyway that’s for people who’ve just come in. (I didn’t pick the passage!) For people who’ve been living here unlawfully for a while, all it says is “more deportation flights.” Don’t think the availability of flights is the hold-up.
