Item: A few months ago, the Trump administration’s Bureau of Land Management renewed the previously cancelled mineral exploration leases to Antofagasta, the Chilean mining giant that owns Twin Metals, the Canadian penny-stock company that has been doing the groundwork for Antofagasta’s experimental plans to mine copper in via an underground mine in water-rich northern Minnesota near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park in Canada.

Prior to Trump’s administration, the US Forest Service concluded that copper mining posed "an inherent risk of irreparable harm to an irreplaceable wilderness." The Trump administration had earlier cancelled a more complete study that would have fully determined the extent of that harm.

"It is now more clear than ever that the Trump administration is steamrolling the American people and allowing a foreign mining company to write the rules when it comes to America's most popular wilderness.'' Tom Landwehr, of Save the Boundary Waters, said in a statement.

The Nixon tapes are still in the news! My God, they’re still spewing bile, still making America’s eyeballs roll.

They’re as relevant as ever.

Donald Trump, it turns out, is merely the inner Richard Nixon, live and uncensored. He’s also the inner Ronald Reagan — the inner voice, suddenly made public, of every white male racist who has ever occupied the Oval Office (which is probably most of the occupants).

The first casualty of war is truth. The victors in war, who are liars from the beginning, write history.

If any question why we died, 

On July 22, 2019, the Trump administration passed an executive order that expands the implementation of the expedited removal process, which can fast-track deportation procedures for persons detained by I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents, often without many of the legal protections typically afforded to those being deported from the U.S. According to the notice published by the Department of Homeland Security, individuals can now be deported, without a hearing in front of a judge, if they have “not affirmatively shown, to the satisfaction of an immigration officer, that they have been physically present in the United States continuously for the two-year period immediately preceding the date of the determination of inadmissibility.”
