We begin with Trump appearing increasingly mentally ill when announcing a trade deal with the EU and reducing his ultimatum to Putin from 50 days down to 10 or 12 as he went on a fact-free rant about windmills and whales. We discuss how Trump’s more and more likely successor J.D. Vance is putting an intellectual gloss on the administration’s racist and cruel immigration pogrom while it pursues racist gerrymandering to hold onto the House.

In a formerly rare move that’s a sign of unusual times at the Justice Department, a panel of federal judges in Chicago has approved Andrew Boutros’ appointment by the Trump administration as U.S. attorney in Chicago.

Boutros, 47, a former federal prosecutor, was selected by the Trump administration to serve in the powerful law enforcement post after a search process run by Republican U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood of Peoria. He was appointed as an interim U.S. attorney — which means he was not confirmed by the U.S. Senate — for a 120-day term that began April 7.

Even before New York’s Young Republican Club started selling “Deport Mamdani” T-shirts, it was clear the Trump administration would do everything within, and beyond, its power to sabotage a progressive New York City mayoral administration.
