What actually changed with El Salvador's Bitcoin law? In this episode, Mike sits down with Lina Seiche, creator of The Little Hodler and founder of a Bitcoin-focused business now based in El Salvador. Lina shares what it's really like on the ground, from working with the Ministry of Education on a nationwide Bitcoin school curriculum to navigating the evolving business environment.They dive into the recent IMF deal and the wave of commentary it triggered in the Bitcoin world. Despite speculation, Lina explains why the changes to legal tender status haven't altered the daily use of Bitcoin or the momentum behind financial education in El Salvador.  She also highlights the country's push for education reform, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the public school program teaching kids real-world money skills before they even hit high school.This episode gives an unfiltered view into a nation experimenting with currency, curriculum, and autonomy. It's also a reminder that sometimes real innovation doesn't come from headlines but from people quietly building, like Lina and her Little Hodler brand that's now part of classrooms across the country.If you're curious about where Bitcoin meets policy, why financial education matters more than ever, or just want to know what a plush toy has to do with education reform, hit subscribe, drop a comment, and share this with someone who still thinks the IMF calls the shots.Connect and Learn more about Lina SeichiThe Little Hodler: https://thelittlehodler.comLina on X: https://twitter.com/LinaSeicheSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 — Why Lina started writing Bitcoin schoolbooks for kids01:56 — Is El Salvador still a Bitcoin country after the IMF deal?04:35 — What changed in the Bitcoin legal tender law?06:10 — How El Salvador teaches financial education in public schools12:10 — What makes it easier to start a business in El Salvador?18:22 — What does “you can just do things” really mean here?24:09 — Will El Salvador benefit from US nearshoring and trade shifts?26:25 — Lina's advice for business owners thinking about moving31:08 — What's inside the Bitcoin curriculum for grade school kids?36:47 — Did the IMF deal change anything on the ground in El Salvador?40:53 — How Bukele doubled down on Bitcoin when pressure increased47:26 — Where to get Little Hodler plushies and Lina's new projectsLive From Bitcoin Beach

LATE SUNDAY NIGHT, police in El Salvador arrested one of President Nayib Bukele's sharpest critics, Ruth Eleonora López, an anti-corruption attorney who has spent years exposing government abuses. “[She] is one of the strongest voices in defense of democracy,” says Noah Bullock, her colleague and the executive director of Cristosal, a human rights group operating in northern Central America, including El Salvador. López, a university professor and former elections official, heads Cristosal's anti-corruption unit. She has also been an outspoken critic of Bukele's crackdown on gang violence that has resulted in “arbitrary detentions, human rights violations,” and the imprisonment of people not connected to gangs, according to Cristosal. The organization has documented widespread abuses in the country's prison system. “There's a clear pattern of physical abuse, and on top of that, a clear pattern of systematic denial of basic necessities like food, water, bathrooms, medicine — medical care in general," says Bullock. “Those two factors have combined to cause the deaths of at least 380 people” in custody in recent years. That's a prison system “that's been contracted by the U.S. government,” Bullock adds. This week on The Intercept Briefing, Bullock speaks to host Jessica Washington about López's continued imprisonment and what her work and detention reveals about the Trump administration's interest in El Salvador's prison system. Facing vague corruption charges, López has seen her family and lawyer but not yet a judge. “The type of jails and the prison system that the United States has contracted is one of a dictatorship — one that operates outside of the rule of law,” says Bullock. But El Salvador isn't the only country the U.S. is looking to partner with to outsource immigration detention. “Now in addition to El Salvador, the U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals with at least 19 other countries,” says Nick Turse, national security fellow for The Intercept. “Many of these countries,” says Turse, “have been excoriated by not only human rights groups and NGOs, but also the U.S. State Department.”“ These policies did not leap fully formed from the head of Donald Trump,” says Turse. They have a legacy largely stemming from the post-9/11 counterterrorism policies of the George W. Bush administration. “The Trump administration has expanded the Bush and Obama-era terrorism paradigm to cast immigrants and refugees as terrorists and as gang members,” says Turse.Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

President Trump's approval rating has fallen to near-historic lows. With economic disruption from the tariffs likely to hit next month, his numbers will probably get even worse; this administration could reach unprecedented levels of unpopularity. If I were a far-right populist, I would be thinking hard about a strategy to prevent the blowback from crippling the movement. Such a strategy is easy to come by. Anger over DOGE and deportations has a natural floor. If Trump's base starts abandoning him, it will be because of the tariffs. But tariffs aren't a load-bearing part of the MAGA platform. Other right-populist leaders like Orban, Bukele, and Modi show no interest in them. They seem an idiosyncratic obsession of Trump's, a cost that the rest of the movement pays to keep him around. So, (our hypothetical populist strategist might start thinking after Trump's approval hits the ocean trenches and starts drilling) - whatever. MAGA minus Trump's personal idiosyncrasies can remain a viable platform. You don't even have to exert any effort to make it happen. Trump will retire in 2028 and pass the torch to Vance. And although Vance supports tariffs now, that's only because he's a spineless toady. After Trump leaves the picture, Vance will gain thirty IQ points, make an eloquent speech about how tariffs were the right tool for the mid-2020s but no longer, and the problem will solve itself. Right? Don't let them get away with this. Although it's true that tariffs owe as much to Trump's idiosyncrasies as to the inexorable logic of right-wing populism, the ability of a President to hold the nation hostage to his own idiosyncrasies is itself a consequence of populist ideology. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-populist-right-must-own-tariffs

No cabe duda: Nayib Bukele ha terminado de mudar la piel. Y es "cada vez menos cool y más autoritario", tal cual lo describe Daniel Zovatto, experto internacional en política electoral. Solo en los últimos días la deriva totalitaria de quien ejerce el control de todos los poderes del estado salvadoreño ha mostrado sus ímpetus persecutorios sin disimulos para acallar las disidencias de cualquier tipo, utilizando para ello a entidades como la policía militar, la fiscalía general y el Congreso. En cuanto a las herramientas ya en uso desde hace mucho tiempo, se hace "común" el espionaje telefónico y los ataques digitales. Veamos algunos de los últimos hechos: el domingo pasado fue arrestada la reconocida activista de Derechos Humanos Ruth López con una burda acusación de peculado. López fue destacada por la BBC de Londres como una de las 100 mujeres más inspiradoras e influentes del 2024. Ella es jefa de la unidad de Anticorrupción y Justicia de la organización Cristosal y una crítica acérrima contra la corrupción en la gestión del presidente salvadoreño. Seis días antes, el 12 de mayo la policía militar dispersó por la fuerza una manifestación de humildes parceleros de la Cooperativa El Bosque quienes solo fueron a pedir en las cercanías de la lujosa residencia presidencial, que el mandatario interviniera para que no los desalojaran de su propiedad por un caso judicializado dos décadas atrás. El presidente y el abogado de la cooperativa fueron arrestados. Organizaciones ambientales y de derechos humanos reclamaron estas detenciones arbitrarias y Bukele les respondió enviando a la Asamblea Legislativa una "Ley de Agentes Extranjeros" que en definitiva impone un gravamen del 30% a las ONG para intentar ahogarlas financieramente. Y solo otro ejemplo más: una publicación del periódico El Faro (el medio más inaceptable, por independiente, para Bukele) difundió recientemente declaraciones sorprendentes de dos líderes de la banda Barrio 18 Revolucionarios, quienes precisaron detalles sobre las negociaciones que mantuvieron en su día para apoyar el proyecto político de Bukele cuando llegó a la Presidencia, cómo acordaron con el gobierno la administración de los homicidios, las extorsiones y hasta el encierro de los ciudadanos durante la pandemia y cómo, finalmente, los sacaron del país, cuando terminó la tregua pactada. Días después, de esas revelaciones, Carlos Dada, Director de El Faro denunció que recibió una alerta de posibles órdenes de captura contra siete periodistas. Varios salieron del país como medida de protección y precisamente con uno de ellos, Oscar Martínez, conversamos en Hablando Claro.

El Salvador was once the murder capital of the world. Now under President Nayib Bukele, it's safer than Canada. But with 2% of its population locked up -- what is the real cost of this newfound safety?

La diputada por el Partido Vamos en la Asamblea de El Salvador, Claudia Ortiz, sostuvo en Conclusiones que la recién aprobada ley de agentes extranjeros no tiene como objetivo transparentar a las organizaciones de la sociedad civil, sino controlar a las agrupaciones que les resultan incómodas al Gobierno de Bukele.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has made a lot of headlines recently in the United States for his partnership with the Trump administration. Bukele has helped enable President Trump's scheme to remove supposed Venezuelan gang members from the U.S. under the Alien Enemies Act, housing these detainees in the notorious CECOT prison. In court, the Justice Department has claimed it has no ability to request that Bukele return these detainees to the United States, even after Bukele posed for photos next to Trump in the Oval Office.The use of CECOT is key to the Trump administration's effort to paint migrants as dangerous criminals. But what is Bukele getting out of the scheme, and what do things look like from within El Salvador? To understand this, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic spoke with Noah Bullock, Executive Director of the Central American human rights organization Cristosal. Their conversation places CECOT in context of broader efforts by Bukele to consolidate his power and erode Salvadoran democracy. It also addresses Bukele's ongoing crackdown on dissent in El Salvador over the last week—a crackdown that most recently included the sudden arrest on March 18 of Noah's colleague Ruth López, who heads Cristosal's anti-corruption work.

Gang membership in El Salvador has a common theme, which is also a potential solution for reducing gang membership and gang violence there. In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest: ►How did El Salvador become the world's most violent country? ►Why is crime so high in El Salvador? ►What are deferred vengeance and retaliation? ►What kinds of crimes are committed in El Salvador? What's the extent of violence? ►Is MS-13 essentially an international gang? ►What is like to interview gang members in El Salvador? ►What is the common theme among gang members in El Salvador? ►How are crime and politics related in El Salvador? ►Has Pres. Bukele really reduced crime? ►Was the Carter Administration involved in the 1979 coup d'etat? ►Was the U.S. involved in this Civil War? ►During the last two decades, has the U.S. been involved in El Salvador politics? ►If you wanted our audience to remember just one point about “El Salvador”, what would it be?

El director ejecutivo de la ONG Cristosal, Noah Bullock, analizó en Conclusiones los factores que podrían haber motivado la detención de Ruth Eleonora López, jefa de la Unidad de Anticorrupción y Justicia de Cristosal. Bullock asegura que el arresto, por  presunto peculado, en realidad se debería a que López "es incómoda" para el Gobierno de Nayib Bukele, ya que su trabajo consiste hacer visible la corrupción. CNN ha solicitado a la Fiscalía más detalles del caso y está a la espera de respuesta. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

SALVADOR: BUKELE AND M13. MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY, WSJ 1917 SALVADOR

Trace Mayer, Bitcoin OG and advocate for monetary sovereignty, joins us for a compelling deep dive into the real-world implications of El Salvador's groundbreaking adoption of Bitcoin. This wasn't a surface-level chat, we covered everything from Bitcoin in El Salvador to the broader global reset many are calling the Fourth Turning.We explored how President Bukele is reshaping El Salvador by combining bold leadership with sound money principles and how Bitcoin fits into that transformation. Trace shares why financial freedom is rooted in individuals taking control of their money, and how El Salvador is providing a real-world test case for that philosophy.We also talk about the risk of centralized financial tools like ETFs, the importance of self-custody through initiatives like Proof of Keys, and how Bitcoin's growing financial infrastructure, especially in derivatives and custody, is shaping the future.Don't forget to subscribe, share this with your favorite fiat-loving friend, and comment below: Would you trust your government to hold Bitcoin for you, or is it safer in your own hands?Learn more about Trace Mayerhttps://www.trace.com/ https://x.com/bitcoinkn Connect with Trace Mayerhttps://x.com/TraceMayer https://www.instagram.com/trace_mayer/ Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 – Why Trace Mayer Traveled to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador02:30 – How Trace Mayer Got Into Bitcoin and Monetary Sovereignty06:15 – How Inflation Destroys Sound Money and Everyday Wealth10:40 – What Monetary Sovereignty Really Means in Today's World14:50 – Why El Salvador Adopted Bitcoin for Financial Freedom19:30 – How President Bukele Is Using Bitcoin to Change El Salvador25:40 – Why Proof of Keys Still Matters for Bitcoin Users in 202530:10 – Are Bitcoin ETFs Threatening Real Financial Freedom?37:20 – What the Fourth Turning Means for Bitcoin and the Global Economy45:10 – Can the US Reset Its Economy with Bitcoin, Gold, and the Dollar?47:15 – What Trace Mayer Is Building in the Bitcoin Financial System52:00 – Where to Follow Trace Mayer and Learn About His Latest WorkLive From Bitcoin Beach

Forseti El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, segist vera svalasti einræðisherra heims. Hann hefur gjörbylt landinu á örfáum árum og nýtur fádæma vinsælda. Hann samdi við glæpagengin sem höfðu mikil áhrif og ítök í El Salvador og hefur gert landið með þeim öruggari í heimi, en þar var morðtíðni með því allra hæsta sem gerist. En þetta voru engar töfralausnir. Því nú er að koma í ljós hvað þessir samningar fólu í sér. Bukele hefur fangelsað tugi þúsunda á síðustu árum í nýju risastóru fangelsi sem nefnist CECOT og þannig liggja leiðir hans og Donalds Trump saman. Trump er byrjaður að senda mörg hundruð innflytjendur í fangelsi í El Salvador, án þess að mál þeirra séu tekin fyrir í Bandaríkjunum. Trump er mikill aðdáandi Bukele og má segja að hann dáist að einræðistilburðunum, en báðum hættir þeim til að ganga of langt til þess að ná markmiðum sínum og teygja lög og reglur í allar áttir. Börn, áhrifavaldar og samfélagsmiðlar eru umfjöllunarefni nýrrar heimildarmyndar, í þremur hlutum, sem er ný á streymisveitunni Netflix. Í þáttunum skyggnast áhorfendur inn í margar hliðar samfélagsmiðlanotkunar barna, hvaða áhrif miðlarnir geta haft á líf þeirra og jafnvel hvaða siðferðislegu spurningar vakna í oft grimmum raunveruleika. Hvenær ganga foreldrar of langt í að nýta börn sín til að afla tekna á samfélagsmiðlum og hvenær er friðhelgi barna jafnvel stefnt í hættu með myndbirtingum og fréttum? Því það hefur ekki alltaf góð áhrif á börn að vera í kastljósinu, hvort sem þau biðja um það sjálf eða verða það í gegnum foreldra sína.

“Hacer periodismo no es un crimen”: tras revelar los vínculos de Bukele con grupos criminales, varios periodistas salvadoreños de El Faro tuvieron que huir del país para evitar ser arrestados

Nayib Bukele informó que “decidió” enviar a la Asamblea Legislativa, dominada por el partido oficialista Nuevas Ideas, un proyecto de ley que establece un impuesto de un 30 % sobre las donaciones que reciban las organizaciones no gubernamentales. Esto surgió tras la movilización de una cooperativa agrícola pidiéndole apoyo al presidente salvadoreño. El presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, ha aprovechado una movilización realizada por la cooperativa agrícola El Bosque frente a su residencia, que le solicitaba evitar un desalojo por orden judicial, para reintroducir un proyecto de ley que establece un impuesto del 30% sobre las donaciones recibidas por las organizaciones no gubernamentales.“Siempre ha tenido discursos muy fuertes contra las organizaciones”Esta medida similar a la adoptada por su homólogo nicaragüense, Daniel Ortega, tendría un impacto coercitivo directo en entidades defensoras de derechos humanos. Luis González, director de incidencia de la Unidad Ecológica Salvadoreña (UNES), comenta las razones y las posibles consecuencias de esta medida.“Al Gobierno, de manera general, no le gusta que haya organizaciones que señalen las falencias o lo que no se hace bien desde la lógica gubernamental. Entonces, siempre ha tenido discursos muy fuertes contra las organizaciones, contra las comunidades que señalan lo que no está haciendo bien, y esto busca siempre acallarlo”, explica.“Este anuncio, de querer colocar un 30% a las donaciones que llegan a las organizaciones sin fines de lucro en El Salvador, surge de una actividad pacífica de protesta de una comunidad formada por 300 personas que habitan en un terreno donde fueron estafadas. Entonces le pedían apoyo al presidente. Esta actividad fue reprimida y fruto de esto, el presidente señala que esta gente fue movilizada por organizaciones que están vinculadas a la izquierda”, detalla González.Detenciones “arbitrarias”Además del anuncio del impuesto a las ONG, Alejandro Henríquez, activista y representante legal de la cooperativa, fue detenido y acusado de desórdenes públicos y resistencia. Carlos Flores, representante de la organización Foro del Agua, que apoya a la cooperativa, denuncia que se trata de una detención arbitraria.“El Gobierno, en lugar de atender un llamado de auxilio legítimo de la comunidad, responde de manera violenta e injustificadamente, porque hay cientos de fotografías y videos que demuestran el carácter pacífico de la actividad que tenía la gente en la zona donde fueron reprimidos, y que demuestran que quien provocó los hechos violentos fue la Policía Nacional Civil, la Unidad de Mantenimiento del Orden”, afirma.“De hecho, es el jefe de la Unidad de Mantenimiento del Orden quien inicia, al intentar capturar arbitrariamente en esa actividad a Alejandro, que es mi compañero, y a Moisés que es parte de la cooperativa El Bosque”, recalca.Las organizaciones denunciaron que fueron detenidas al menos dos personas más de la comunidad; entre ellos José Ángel Pérez, pastor evangélico y presidente de la cooperativa agrícola.

The current "Pax Bukele", a state of emergency in which constitutional rights have been invalidated, was only made possible by a secret deal between President Nayyib Bukele and some of the country's most violent gangs, which actively assisted Bukele's rise.The Grayzone spoke with veteran Salvadorean journalist Walter Raudales about the stunning revelations of Bukele's covert arrangement with the cartels, and interviewed human rights lawyer Alejandro Diaz about the corruption and cruelty underlying Bukele's notorious CECOT mega-prison project.Watch on SubstackVideo by Oscar Leon

Los abogados Rudy Joya e Ivania Cruz, pertenecientes a la Unidad de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Comunitarios (UNIDEHC) de El Salvador, se encuentran varados en el País Vasco español como refugiados políticos luego de que una jueza salvadoreña anunciase una orden de arresto contra ellos por pertenecer a una “agrupación criminal”. RFI pudo hablar con Ivania Cruz, quien reitera que la jueza actúa bajo intereses políticos y no jurídicos. Para la propia Ivania Cruz, su orden de detención responde a una persecución en contra de la Unidad de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Comunitarios (UNIDEHC) de El Salvador, tras haber denunciado la violación sistemática de los derechos humanos en su país desde que el presidente Nayib Bukele decretase el estado de excepción hace ahora tres años.“Hemos liberado a muchas personas, las cuales han denunciado la tortura y la corrupción en centros penales, como Fidel Zavala, que también es parte de mi organización, y que fue recapturado el 25 de febrero”, explica Cruz. Zavala fue detenido esta segunda vez en un operativo que incluyó el allanamiento de la sede de UNIDEHC, la vivienda de la abogada Cruz, y la captura de más de 20 líderes de la comunidad La Floresta, un colectivo defendido por esta organización.  “Hemos decidido pedir asilo político”Ivania Cruz y Rudy Joya se encontraban en un viaje de incidencia política sobre la situación de su país en España en el momento de la detención, y actualmente recae sobre ellos una orden de captura: “Este tipo de situación, aparte de que nosotros, como abogados, llevamos casos emblemáticos que representan la corrupción del Gobierno de Bukele, y que fuimos la primera organización en denunciar directamente a funcionarios, ministros y el director general de Centros Penales en El Salvador, nos puso en una situación obviamente de riesgo, y eso ha hecho que nos obliguen al exilio forzado en estos momentos”, detalla Cruz.“Hemos decidido pedir asilo político aquí en el País Vasco para resguardar nuestra seguridad, porque la semana pasada el tribunal que lleva nuestro caso ha pedido una difusión de alerta al Interpol, situación que legalmente no aplica, porque eso es para el crimen organizado. Pero precisamente lo que intentan es criminalizar la organización”, denuncia.Más de 500 muertes documentadasIvania cruz denunció que, durante los tres años de estado de excepción, el Gobierno salvadoreño ha realizado 86.000 detenciones, en su mayoría arbitrarias, con más de 500 muertes documentadas en dependencias policiales. “En estos tres años, hay 86.000 personas capturadas. Nosotros manejamos que el 30% de estas 86.000 son capturas arbitrarias y nos basamos en que las personas nunca han estado en prisión y no tienen antecedentes penales”, estima Cruz.“De las muertes, hay organizaciones que documentan más de 500. En El Salvador, hay ocho centros penales y algunos están en fosas clandestinas, las muertes que se han dado por torturas, sobre todo. Las muertes naturales, por enfermedades crónicas y falta de asistencia médica, que también es responsabilidad del Estado, esas son las pocas que se han podido documentar”, explica.Tras la orden de arresto contra sus dos voceros, la organización UNIDEHC tomará varias medidas legales, como la presentación de un aviso penal por delitos de actos arbitrarios e incumplimiento de deberes, una demanda contra la jueza ante el departamento de Investigación Judicial de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, y la presentación del caso a nivel internacional ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 122: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is the greatest president of all time... at losing public support! Almost overlooked in the typical maelstrom, analysis by the last King of 538: Trump's Net Approval Rating has fallen farther, faster, than any other president since they started keeping the statistic in 1953. On Inauguration Day he was at Net Plus 10. After 100 Days he's already at Net MINUS 10. At this rate, by August he'll be at NET MINUS 30. He is losing an approval point every FIVE DAYS. By itself, the Net Minus 10 is also a record. And that's just the start of Trump's polling crater. Internal Republican Congressional Campaign polling has him at a Net Minus Seven inside vulnerable swing House districts. He is collapsing faster than he is collapsing the economy! This sets up the prospect of a Democratic landslide next year, if only the Democrats will TRY. Chuck Schumer's response? More bipartisanship in spending bills! B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer wants an ethics investigation of Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig because when he was too terrified to host a town hall in his district, she did. Their districts ADJOIN. DC US Attorney nominee Ed Martin sinks further into deceit over Hitler cosplayer Hale-Cusanelli. And Trump demands Penn apologize for letting transgender athletes compete or he'll withhold $175 million in funding. My suggestion? Penn should declare that Trump got his degree from Penn's Wharton School by deception and sue HIM FOR $175 MILLION. And new developments in Bill Maher's self-immolation. He did something ELSE about Trump - eight years ago - that he attacked Larry David for doing last week! C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If I didn't actually invent the mobile phone, there is every chance I was the first to use one on the streets of New York City. It was this time of year, about 35 years ago, and it still shocks me that I actually stopped pedestrian traffic on 42nd Street just by answering a call.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's disagreement is about college campus detentions, due process, and free speech.We focus on the two most high-profile cases: Mahmoud Khalil: a green card holder, legal resident, and graduate student at Columbia University who had a leadership role within CUAD, which stands for Columbia University Apartheid Divest; and Rümeysa Öztürk: a graduate student at Tufts University who is a student visa holder. She co-authored an op-ed in the campus newspaper supporting a resolution to divest from Israel. We also briefly touch on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case and President Bukele's recent visit to the oval office.Is there a legal basis for these deportations and what are the implications for free speech and due process? What does it mean to be an American? What kind of country do we want to live in? Are these deportations “good for the Jews”?Graeme Wood is a staff writer for The Atlantic and a lecturer in political science at Yale University, where he has taught since 2014. Graeme has been a Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a fellow at the United States Naval Academy.Ilya Shapiro is a senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute. He writes a Substack called Shapiro's Gavel and his new book is called Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites.One note: We had a few issues with audio quality - it's not up to our normal standards - but it should not significantly impact your listening experience. Alright, take a deep breath, open your mind as far as it's willing to go, and prepare for a different kind of conversation on campus deportations.Questions or comments about this episode?

Over the weekend, President Trump raged on Truth Social at judges who are ruling that Trump must follow the law in the case of wrongfully-deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia and others illegally deported to prisons in El Salvador. Trump again threatened to dispense with due process for migrants. Yet this comes even as Trump admitted in a new interview that he's open to bringing Abrego Garcia back and retrying him for deportation through lawful channels. For Trump to acknowledge he has this option while nonetheless threatening to end due process for Abrego Garcia and other migrants is a dark development. All this comes as two new polls show Trump badly losing the war of public opinion over all these illegal renditions. We talked to Chris Newman, a lawyer for the Abrego Garcia family, who powerfully explains why Trump is losing the war over public opinion, how Trump is importing Bukele-style authoritarianism into the United States, and why Trump will ultimately lose in court.

The Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants it says are gang members have hit several legal roadblocks in recent days. Federal judges and the Supreme Court have blocked the government from deporting more migrants under a seldom used, 18th-century wartime law. El Salvador is now key to this deportation policy. Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele, has accepted hundreds of people deported from the U.S., including people not from either country. It's holding most of those men at a massive prison meant for terrorists called "CECOT." For this installment of our series, "If You Can Keep It," where we take a closer look at the state of our democracy, we discuss how Bukele runs his country and what he gains from assisting Trump. We also take a closer look at the laws the Trump administration is using to justify its immigration enforcement strategies. Want to support 1A?

Preview: Colleague Joseph Humire reports how Bukele of El Salvador is calling the bluff of Maduro of Venezuela. More later. 1911 SAN SALVADOR

The alleged murder of Austin Metcalf has exposed a dangerous "culture of death" on the Left, exemplified by a Dallas activist with a criminal history defending the alleged killer while attacking the victim's father. Glenn connects this to a broader left-wing transformation, citing figures like Taylor Lorenz and Elizabeth Warren's failure to condemn violence, including the assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. A radical essay, “When Must We Kill Them,” reflects the Left's growing justification of violence against political foes. Glenn draws on the Passover story to call for a spiritual and cultural awakening to save the nation. CBN investigative journalist Billy Hallowell joins to discuss his transformative documentary series "Miracles," which explores stories of divine intervention, like how a man who was dead for 40 minutes came back to life. Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador was mocked by President Bukele as a stunt of "sipping margaritas.” Glenn shares an inspiring message for Easter 2025.

Donald Trump and the president of El Salvador gloat about shipping migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison, muse about sending American citizens there next, and lie about the court orders they're ignoring. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy break down what it means for the administration to ignore the Supreme Court's order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the message Trump is sending to student visa holders with the arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk, why Trump's war on the media appears to be succeeding, and reports that the Trump family is teaming up with Binance, the shady crypto platform, on a new money-making scheme. Then, Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal joins Jon to talk about Trump's trade war, the possibility of a recession, and what might happen next. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Federal District Judges lack the authority to mandate the return of deported individuals to the United States. This power is beyond their jurisdiction, and there is no desire to allow illegal criminals back into the country. The demands of these radical judges are considered preposterous and out of line.  Additionally, the left considers President Bukele to be a dictator. Bukele has actually improved his country. Dictators typically damage countries for their own benefit, rather than improving them. Meanwhile, the media continues to harass President Trump with trivial questions about whether he will continue to "export" illegal immigrants. The focus should be on Iran, which poses a significant threat. Trump is committed to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Also, it is concerning that the left remains fixated on criticizing the president's deportation policies instead of addressing the threat posed by Iran. Lastly, Rep Hakeem Jeffries is criticized for supporting what is perceived as radical nonsense from the left. He attacked Pete Hegseth claiming that he is not fit for this role, but he is and has proven he can handle the job. Hegseth is good and he deserves all the credit he can get. Jeffries and Bernie Sanders despise Hegseth because they are pushing their agenda. Sanders argues that our generation should fight for economic justice, but it would be more beneficial to strive for economic freedom. He does not believe in the concept of a nuclear family, nor does he believe in resolve our foreign issues. He thinks we are running an oligarchy, which is preposterous.
