Trump told Bukele he needs to build five more prisons to hold the "home grown" offenders.
Let's be clear: Trump is asking El Salvador to build concentration camp for his political prisoners.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
—
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Do NOT enter the country of #ElSalvador as a US citizen who opposes #Trump. They could whisk you away to one of those concentration camps…oops so called “prisons” so fast and you could never be seen again.
I repeat do NOT go to #ElSalvador

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.
What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.
What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.”

The Data Doesn’t Lie: How ProPublica Reports the Truth in an Era of False Claims

Whooping cough (pertussis) cases have skyrocketed by more than 1,500% nationwide since 2021.
Deaths tied to the disease are also up — hitting 10 last year, compared with about two to four in previous years — and cases are on track to exceed that total in 2025.

When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.
Trump laid off nearly all of them.

Trump has reportedly urged Congress to authorize $175 billion for border security, more than 10 times what was spent during his first term.
Meanwhile, border residents in Texas and Arizona say their basic needs — like safe drinking water and hospital access — aren’t being met.

這事還有後續。
Hegseth在自己創建的另一個Signal群組分享軍事機密。
這個群組內包括他夫人，兄弟，還有其他人。
他之前已經被批評帶他夫人參加和外國領袖的會議。
前國防部發言人John Ullyot在上週辭職，
他說國防部一個月來處於完全混亂之中。
國家安全顧問Waltz把記者加入Signal群組。
國防部長在Signal群組和家人分享國家機密。
他們沒把國家安全放在心上，和川皇如出一轍。
他們應該知道不能這樣做，
機密資料是只能在特定設備特定環境下處理的。
但只是不在乎，大概覺得也沒什麼大不了的。
做錯事，川皇也沒有解僱他們。
到現在也沒人主動要為此負責。
MAGA們是美國國家安全的大漏洞。

Politically Connected Firms Benefit From Trump Tariff Exemptions Amid Secrecy, Confusion
—
The administration’s lack of transparency about tariff exemptions has experts concerned that some firms might be winning narrow carve-outs behind closed doors. “It could be corruption, but it could just as easily be incompetence,” one lobbyist said.

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:
“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”
“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”
