Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is in Riyadh to negotiate a partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Over the weekend, he said, “I think that you’re going to see in Saudi Arabia on Monday some real progress.” Whether Witkoff’s prediction comes true remains to be seen, but Matt and Walter will be on hand tonight to discuss the latest efforts at brokering an end to this senseless conflict. They’ll also take a look at the controversy surrounding the Alien Enemies Act, which the Trump administration has used to justify its deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador’s Center for Terrorism Confinement.

More on the Alien Enemies Act at last, thank you! I even saw notorious Bush era lawyer John Yoo expressing concerns about its use in the pages of National Review a few days ago. If he of all people is on this train already, you both should be on it—hopefully a few cars ahead of Yoo and with much greater vociferousness. Your talents and efforts are worth trying to move the needle on this policy debate compared to others that Racket has waded into recently…
Lima beans and pork chops tonight! I always make that when I get a chance to watch a ATW Livestream!
