Donald Trump showed a classified map he retained from his first term in office to passengers on a 2022 private plane flight

and retained another record so sensitive that only six high-ranking government officials had access to it,
according to a prosecution memo released to Congress this week.


The Justice Department shared those findings, detailed in a January 2023 briefing document written by then-special counsel Jack Smith’s team,
with lawmakers as they conduct a review of Smith’s efforts
now-abandoned efforts to prosecute Trump.

The memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post, was penned as investigators moved toward indicting Trump on charges of illegally retaining sensitive government material after he left the White House.

It offers a snapshot of an early moment in Smith’s investigation and adds new shading to the public understanding of Smith’s probes,
-- even as a final report on his findings remains under court seal

The Trump administration is again trying to send the wrongly deported
Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the west African nation of Liberia
and urging a federal judge to dismiss a bar on his removal, according to legal documents filed over the weekend.
Abrego Garcia, of Maryland, has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica,
which will accept him as a refugee,
and is fighting his removal to another third country.
The Trump administration cannot remove him to his home country of El Salvador, after he was mistakenly deported there in 2025 and kept in a brutal Salvadoran prison.
His erroneous deportation cast a national spotlight on the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.

Some tips on giving digital privacy/security advice: if you tell people they absolutely need to do a long list of difficult and expensive things before they travel, people will nod and smile and then not do it at all. This is why my advice focuses on harm reduction and understanding trade-offs.

Evangelicals are taught that all morality comes from God
and therefore true goodness can only be spread by obeying God,
even if it harms people around us,” Ajoy said.

“This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if pleasing God manifests by following the teachings of Jesus
― loving our neighbors, loving our enemies, promoting peace and taking care of the poor, the widow, the immigrant and standing up for the marginalized.

It becomes dangerous when Christians weaponize this vertical morality for power,
which is exactly what we’re seeing with the Christian nationalism in the Trump administration
