The case against Abrego Garcia is looking pretty shaky. The DOJ would rather avoid a trial.

Sadly, pb is using a BBC article because he couldn't find a US SwampMedia, source on either political side, that does the issue justice. There may be one, but pb didn't find it.

BTW, what Musk says has been pb's position all along:

Trump's signature tax and spending bill, describing it as a "disgusting abomination", in a widening rift between the two allies.

The budget - which includes multi-trillion dollar tax breaks and more defence spending while also allowing the US government to borrow more money - was passed by the House of Representatives last month.

"Shame on those who voted for it," Musk said in a post on X about the legislative linchpin of Trump's second-term agenda.

In its current form, the bill - which Trump refers to as the "big beautiful bill" - has been estimated to increase the budget deficit - the difference between what the government spends and the revenue it receives - by about $600bn (£444bn) in the next fiscal year.

In a series of posts on X on Tuesday, Musk said that the "outrageous, pork-filled" spending bill will "massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America [sic] citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt".

In American politics "pork" refers to spending on projects in lawmakers' constituencies.


Ole pb's, truly, old. He'll probably be pushin daisies by the time the world economy goes to hell in a handbasket. But, still...
