What do you get when you mix overly aggressive trade measures and a poor economic plan? Trump's idea of a great start. Or, as I like to call it, a policy-induced recession. Here’s what’s happening.

WH advisor Stephen Miller says administration wantsTrump administration ‘looking at’ suspending habeas corpus for migrants, Stephen Miller says
Published Fri, May 9 20253:26 PM EDTUpdated Fri, May 9 20256:37 PM EDT
Senior White House advisor Stephen Miller said that the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, the right to challenge a person’s detention by the government, for migrants.
Miller was answering a reporter who asked about President Donald Trump entertaining the idea of suspending the writ to deal with illegal immigration into the United States.
The writ has only been suspended four times since the U.S. Constitution was adopted, and in all but one case, Congress first authorized that action.
Miller spoke hours after a federal judge in Vermont ordered the release of Tufts University student Rumeysa Öztürk from the custody of U.S. immigration authorities. She had challenged her detention with a habeas writ.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller said Friday that the Trump administration is “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus — the constitutional right to challenge in court the legality of a person’s detention by the government — for migrants.
Miller’s comment came in response to a White House reporter who asked about President Donald Trump entertaining the idea of suspending the writ to deal with the problem of illegal immigration into the United States.
Asked when that might happen, Miller responded: “The Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in time of invasion.”
“So, I would say that’s an option we’re actively looking at,” he said.
A number of pending civil cases challenging the Trump administration’s deportation of undocumented immigrants in the United States are based on habeas claims.
The Trump administration has chafed at orders by judges blocking efforts to summarily deport immigrants, including alleged gang members, without court proceedings.
Miller spoke hours after a federal judge in Vermont ordered the release of Tufts University student Rumeysa Öztürk from the custody of U.S. immigration authorities.
Öztürk, who had been imprisoned for 45 days after the Trump administration revoked the Turkish citizen’s student visa based on an assessment that she “may undermine U.S. foreign policy by crearting a hostile environment for Jewish students and indicating support for a designated terrorist organization.”
Öztürk challenged her detention with a petition for writ of habeas corpus, which noted that she “has not been charged with any crime,” and which argued that her “arrest and detention are designed to punish her speech and chill the speech of others.”
Miller said that Trump’s decision on whether to suspend the writ of habeas corpus “depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”
Miller implied that “the right thing” is for judges to stop blocking the administration’s deportation of immigrants in cases where those people are exercising habeas writs.
The writ has been suspended only four times since the U.S. Constitution was ratified. And in all but one of those instances, Congress first authorized the suspension.
The idea of habeas corpus originated in English common law.
“No man shall be arrested or imprisoned...except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land,” a provision in the Magna Carta, signed by King John in the early 13th Century, says.
The U.S. Constitution, in Article 1, section 9, says, “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”
Miller’s use of the word “invasion” reflects the Trump administration’s argument that the U.S. faces an “invasion” of undocumented migrants.

India and Pakistan agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire Saturday after weeks of deadly violence in the Kashmir region, officials said — but the truce appeared to be short-lived.
Within hours, Indian officials accused Pakistan of violating the agreement and said they would retaliate.
India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told local media there were “repeated violations” of the agreement by Pakistan — and that India would be have an “appropriate response.”
“We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations,” he added.

What can be learned from the latest conflict between India and Pakistan?

Feelings of relief and hope in India and Pakistan.
The latest flare-up in hostilities that killed 60 people across the two countries has come to a dramatic halt after four days.
Nearly 30 countries, including the United States, are reported to have been involved in getting the ceasefire agreed.
The Trump administration, which announced the truce, has proposed a new round of talks at a neutral venue to try to end the bitter rivalry.
A dispute over divided Kashmir, India's accusation that Pakistan is backing terrorist attacks inside its territory and differences over the sharing of river water have all been festering for decades.
So are both sides at last ready to negotiate?

More than a month after The Atlantic broke the story that top U.S. officials were sharing military attack plans on Signal, the Trump administration’s handling of sensitive data is still under scrutiny. Hackers targeted another app used by Trump officials and also stole passenger lists from an airline used to deport migrants. Laura Barrón-López speaks with 404 Media co-founder Joseph Cox for more.

Wow, now that is a serious dilemma. All my info has been on the dark web for years, and I get constant scams and phishing emails. I did find one way to discourage them. I always respond, after manipulating the 'supposed' address of origin to one that will actually be routed to the true source, and then add a cc to reportphishing@apwg.org. It actually works, and I generally will never hear again from the scammers. The emails have decreased pretty dramatically.
On a more political note, rather than pretending to do something good that in nature is counterproductive, as the right does...the left would be more inclined to hatch schemes to steal it back.
