Reid: “While we’re running from fire to fire, Trump and Elon’s little DOGE gang are dismantling our federal government from within. So, just for a moment, let’s just take a step back and look at what he’s been saying versus what he’s been doing. Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which sent the markets into a tizzy, all for him to pull a reverse at the last minute, claiming he got major concessions, when in reality, Mexico and Canada basically reiterated the same border security measures they had already agreed to under Joe Biden. Trump backed down and got nothing. The administration is also blitzing the airwaves and social media with terrifying pictures of what they claim is the largest deportation operation in American history. But, as Politico reports, the number of daily ICE arrests trumpeted each day on X/Twitter are still about where they were at times under President Barack Obama. Many of those detained have no violent criminal history, and the White House said Wednesday that more than 400 migrants have been released for lack of detention capacity, among other reasons. So, catch and release, yeah? Ugly, expensive, and yes, performative arrests that absolutely make communities feel terrified. But for almost no new result. Then there’s the executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.”
