Originally published at: Trump Admin Signals It Will Return One Wrongfully Deported Man
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. Major Breakthrough Or More Endless Stonewalling?

As he [Musk] unceremoniously slinked off out of the White House to nurse his business interests bruised by his chaotic foray into politics, Musk – who once called himself Trump’s “first buddy” – did not even have a formal conversation with the president before his “off-boarding” began, Reuters reported last night, citing a White House official who added that his exit was decided “at a senior staff level”. Ouch.
128 DAYS later … We’ll always have the memories. Who can forget the chainsaw … the cheesehead … the gloating about wood chippers … the oddball presser with “Lil X” in tow … the Tesla sales show outside the White House … the “tech support” T-shirt … the “legion of babies” … “Big Balls”… all those despairing tweets from former lovers … and so much more.

Josh Marshall’s Edblog yesterday:
Voters Were Super Relieved Trump Caved on Tariffs. That’s Important.
“Meanwhile Trump’s poll numbers also arrested their fall around the time he caved on the big tariffs and blipped up a small amount before stabilizing about a point higher than they’d been at their lowest level.”
The good news: The American people were paying attention to the tariff issue.
The bad news: The American people don’t give a shit about the destruction of democracy and the rule of law. I suspect Trump could set up death camps and it wouldn’t dent his polling numbers by one percent.

A little more detail on a story mentioned yesterday =-
“Doctors have been clear that she will die within days” without this care, Amato said at a press conference in Los Angeles. “Deporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful, it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tenets of humanity and decency.”

Linda McMahon: “Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they’re abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish.”
Based on the research that they have defunded, I assume we can assume that the administration is in favor of cancer, infectious diseases, and diseases of aging. They are clearly in favor of climate change as well, but we knew that.

The government alerted the court of its efforts to return O.C.G. in a filing that said certain paperwork had already been completed and that the administration “is currently working with ICE Air to bring O.C.G. back to the United States on an Air Charter Operations (ACO) flight return leg.”

ICE Air…bet that’s a first class airline…

From a different TPM section: “The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.”
The last part suggests strongly that AI was used to prepare the report. Its ability to make shit up was first observed in legal briefs where AI invented legal citations.
