Wanting as many people as possible to pay as much attention to him as much as possible has always been Donald Trump’s desperate driving desire, his addiction. Right now the digital @nytimes is running 16 news stories above the Opinion section. Every one is about him.

After the 1995 shooting, Dhillon bemoaned the lack of safety in New York City and said:

"Clearly the problem stems from the easy availability of firearms in an urban setting."

So weary of JD Vance, who knows better, disingenuously pretending that the administration only deported Garcia, rather than sending him to rot in prison forever.
