I was recently on a podcast talking shop with a fellow immigration attorney. It was fun! Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=zIPLdd…

Update! Trump just posted: “Too Late” is a DISASTER for America! Interest Rates too high! I note what it means for my theory in an updated section of the post: michaelzigismund.substack.com/i/194432438/up…

After over a year targeting Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, what's behind the Trump administration's recent kid gloves approach? In my latest, I argue it may have something to do with high prices these days. If I'm right, Trump should have never started the feud. (link in comments)

Here's my newest Zigismini, in which Trump has the good sense to withdraw from Syria... but he just can't quit Iran. (link in comments)

While we're on the topic of Orban, remember when Trump campaigned hard against Canada's Mark Carney, who ended up becoming Prime Minister? This week his party won special elections, handing them the majority they need to pass laws without opposition support.

A medical examiner ruled that immigration agents murdered a vetted refugee with visual impairment. I have some thoughts. (Link in comments)

If you had read my Zigismini last week, the fact that Trump is now feuding with the Pope would not be a surprise. (Though its precise manifestation should shock everyone, Christian or otherwise.) Subscribe (it's free!) for more prescient analysis :) michaelzigismund.substack.com/i/193537239/th…

My last name is Zigismund. Here are a digest of short thoughts called Zigisminis. …You understand. This inaugural Zigismini covers recent American immigration policy and the Iran war, as well as some things I’m reading and a jazz recommendation. Link in comments.

#Ukraine has been aiding Trump’s war effort. Europe has helped a little but has mostly remained neutral. And Russia has been helping #Iran. Trump’s response? Lift sanctions on Russia and threaten to abandon Ukraine to punish Europe. Every day is April Fools Day with this war.

If this were true, he'd just do it (and he should)

In my latest post, I list all the reported intel claims about the war. Not one supports the claims of this ever-escalating administration. (link in comments)

The President, to be President, had to swear an oath to the Constitution. This is not just a violation of the Constitution. It is an *admission* to violating the Constitution.

When you're reading about the Watergate White House and realize you might as well be reading about today's White House. From All the President’s Men (2014 ed), p. 84.

Actually population *growth* slowed, whereas population has not declined. The point remains however.

If only there was a solution to the US demographic crisis... (image courtesy of ChatGPT)

If only Trump had the capacity to end the war on his own. I wrote about the benefits *to him* of doing so here: michaelzigismund.substack.com/p/how-a-loss-i…
