It's a story that's not without hiccups —... Former President Carter's inconvenient death just before the inauguration, with his funeral falling on the first anniversary of her mother's death. The First Lady talks in scripted voiceover through this section about missing her mom.
'Melania' is Amazon's airbrushed and astronomically pricey portrait of the First Lady
Amazon paid $40 million to acquire the documentary, and is spending $35 million more to promote it.

It's not the rulers that make America great. It never has been.

The resistance is what makes us great. Keep pushing and never let up.

For the same reason AG Bondi wants state’s voter data.
ICE’s job is immigration enforcement so why is it using facial recognition to surveil U.S. citizens?

Back in the 1990's I personally was face to face with Bloods, Crips, Hell's Angels, Devil's Disciples and more and not once did I feel threatened by any of those groups. I would go so far as to say I trusted many of them.
"ICE has demonstrated through its actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere that it poses a greater threat to public safety than the supposedly violent criminal illegal immigrants the organization is supposed to track down."

'Abolish ICE' is imperative

The Trump administration has overhauled a set of nuclear safety directives and shared them with the companies it is charged with regulating, without making the new rules available to the public, according to documents obtained exclusively by NPR.

Trump wants to end the second amendment and take your guns. An armed citizenry is a dangerous force to authoritarians.
Trump: “You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns.”

Rep Faison, on the other hand: “It’s very American.”

We’re trying to imagine the Tennessee Republican freakout if Biden, or, gasp, Obama, had said that
