My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

HCR quotes Anne Applebaum: “The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly.”

I think DJT believes he can follow the Goebbels playbook: By telling the country nonstop that things are great, he can make them think things are great, and win the midterms.
Will the Dems get out there and repeat the truth just as constantly?
They’d better, or Goebbels will be proved right.

I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

This is obscene. Those who came assisted our military during the war, as did the shooter.
We don’t know the story with this man, but many, many, many people who served there came back/to the US with severe PTSD. They deserved our help and a new home.
