President Trump is disappearing people to a Salvadoran prison for terrorists — and he says he wants to send “homegrown” Americans there next, the @nytopinion columnist Ezra Klein says in a video essay. “To the Trump administration, Abrego Garcia is not a mistake. He is a liability, and he is a test. A test of their power to do this to anyone,” he adds. #theezrakleinshow #nytopinion

You've probably heard President Trump's actions described as "unconstitutional" — but @nytopinion columnist Jamelle Bouie argues that what we're seeing isn't simply unconstitutional behavior, it's anti-constitutional as well. When a president disregards the Constitution's constraints of limited government and power, he jeopardizes our fundamental task as citizens "to preserve the Constitution for Americans that come after us," @b-boy bouiebaisse says. | 🎥 Kiana Cole and Emily Holzknecht #Trump100days #nytopinion

On “The Ezra Klein Show,” the Opinion columnist Thomas Friedman expresses his concern about the National Security Council officials who were fired by President Trump after he met with the far-right activist Laura Loomer. Thomas notes that the Trump administration fired “two of our most important cyber warriors — defenders and warriors — widely respected around the world.” #theezrakleinshow #nytopinion

When it comes to President Trump’s tariffs, the word “reciprocal” is confusing, says the economist Oren Cass — “proportional” might make more sense. “As the Trump administration has made clear, it is deficits they are concerned about,” he says in conversation with @nytopinion columnist Ross Douthat, “so that basic reciprocal tit-for-tat model was never actually going to be responsive to what they were describing, or concerned about.” #InterestingTimesWithRossDouthat #nytopinion

The economic chaos of the last week was not simply the result of higher expected prices from President Trump's tariff package, our columnist Ezra Klein says. "What markets hate is uncertainty." In this episode of "The Ezra Klein Show," he sits down with Peter Orszag, the C.E.O. of the asset management company Lazard, to discuss what he's hearing in the business world.

Will the people who have been harmed by deindustrialization — and are now out of the workforce — have jobs in the highly-automated factories of the future? “In some cases the answer is probably yes, in some cases the answer is probably no,” Oren Cass, an economist, tells @nytopinion columnist Ross Douthat. “And I think we therefore have certainly a lot of other work to do to think about how to engage those folks.” #InterestingTimesWithRossDouthat #nytopinion

You might have missed it, but there was a second executive order that President Trump signed alongside his tariffs last week — and @nytopinion columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom believes it could backfire on his base. "I think a lot of Americans are going to feel much poorer much more quickly than they are able to handle emotionally," she says. | 🎥 Kiana Cole, Marina King and @James Robinson #tariffs #nytopinion

In a conversation on #theezrakleinshow, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Steven Hahn explains the problem with understanding Trumpism as a backlash to liberalism alone. “We have a tendency to look at the disruptions of the liberal tradition as simply a backlash — as angry people who are venting their fury, which doesn’t really have a lot of substance. We tend to think that things can go back to normal easily,” says Steven, the author of “Illiberal America: A History.” He joined @nytopinion columnist Ezra Klein for a conversation about how President Trump’s recent deportations fit into a larger tradition of exclusion and expulsion that stretches back to the country’s founding. #nytopinion

Hours after Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania held a Passover Seder, an arsonist attacked his residence. @governorshapiroreflected on how the attack brought him moral clarity. “I believe our political divide can be repaired,” he says. “But our leaders must act with moral clarity and take their cues from the good people of this nation, who in times of tragedy always seem to find our better angels.” #nytopinion

Over a month before his 100th day in office, President Trump reached another milestone — signing more than a hundred executive orders. @nytopinion columnist Carlos Lozada read through the orders and provided analysis. “The orders don’t just depict the president as the head of the executive branch,” Carlos says. “They also portray him as the only true embodiment of people and as the only sole legitimate interpreter of the executive branch.” 🎥@byjamesrobinson and Marina King #nytopinion

In a recent Oval Office meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of sending “homegrown” criminals abroad. “You’ve got to build about five more places,” Trump said to Bukele, referencing prisons like CECOT, where the Trump administration has already deported migrants. In a recent conversation on #theezrakleinshow, Asha Rangappa, a former F.B.I. director, discusses why incarcerating Americans abroad would not just be unconstitutional but grounds for impeachment: “This is a deprivation of rights,” she says. #nytopinion

In any other presidency, Kilmar Abrego Garcia “would have been returned by now because this is, or should be, a political disaster,” former White House Counsel, Jack Goldsmith, says of the Trump administration’s wrongful deportation of Garcia. On the latest episode of "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat,” Goldsmith argued that it doesn’t matter whether Garcia is or is not a citizen; it means the same thing could, in theory, happen to any American. “Nothing in their argument distinguishes citizens from non-citizens, as best I can tell," he says. | #InterestingTimesWithRossDouthat #nytopinion
