What an obscenity to hear this woman employ the language of shared humanity, as the Trump administration kills Americans and systematically kidnaps immigrants and their kids.
The Melania movie is an American obscenity
The vapid, corruption-soaked film, which celebrates the myth of the "good immigrant," is more revelatory than it seems.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans, according to Pew. Trump’s approval rating has dropped from 40% in the fall to 37% today.

Wow, buckle up.
The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat.
This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset.
This is already 45K votes.
