Closing take

The first week of Trumpism was supposed to project order, competence, and force. Instead, January 26 looked like the early receipt for a presidency that wanted the drama of hard power without the discipline that hard power requires. The bill was already coming due, and it was only Thursday.

Story

Trump’s immigration crackdown was already turning into a legal and political mess

Immigration chaos Confidence 4/5

★★★★☆Fuckup rating 4/5 Serious fuckup

The White House’s new immigration restrictions had already triggered confusion, public backlash, and warnings from legal and oversight figures that the administration had rushed out a policy without the machinery to defend it cleanly.
