Another video in our series about undermining democracy is about the scapegoating of immigrants as the group to blame for every problem. Trump’s rants about immigrants grow increasingly vile and dehumanizing.

Trump's enthusiastic support for Germany's Nazi AfD party is on display this coming week. On Friday evening, AfD parliamentary leader Markus Frohnmaier will be an “honored guest” at a New York Young Republican Club gala
Trump’s backing splits European far right
The Alternative for Germany party wants legitimacy from Trump to end its isolation, while France’s National Rally sees him as a liability.

The New York Young Republicans Club hosted German MP Markus Frohnmaier. The neo Nazi was one of the first MPs exposed by an investigation in 2019 to be "absolutely controlled" by the Russians. Frohnmaier received the Allen W. Dulles Award and met with Rep. Luna, who was also groomed by the Russians.

The Russian president has little incentive to compromise in the ongoing peace talks because everyone around him keeps reassuring him that Russia is winning.

The coup began on that day and hasn’t stopped.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
