I mean what can you even say about a govt that pretends to accept a ceasefire, celebrates Trump for reaching it while urging he get the Nobel Peace Prize, and meanwhile just keeps slaughtering civilians. Utterly putrid behavior unbecoming of the civilized world.

"Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs, primarily crime-fighting jobs. The admin “is deprioritizing all other types of criminal law enforcement,” says Cato Institute’s David Bier"

Trump's deportation machine has diverted some 42,000 crime fighters from other tasks

Presidents and governors shouldn't be able to deploy National Guard troops from one state to another if that state's governor objects.

That is common sense, and yet Republicans just blocked my amendment to stop this blatant abuse of power. Another shameful abdication of duty.

Eswatini is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy.

In other words, it's just the kind of country—small, untroubled by democracy, and presumably eager to avoid a superpower’s wrath—with which the Trump administration has been eager to do business.
