It’s a joke for Trump, Vance, Witkoff and anyone else to even remotely suggest that Putin wants peace and Ukraine is the problem.

NEW: Humanitarian officials staged a last-minute plea to Trump officials at their fancy hotel to re-start food aid $ for a huge refugee camp in Kenya.

The Trumpers blew it off and babies starved.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The house, controlled by the worst of the worst people in America, who are controlled by billionaire super villains worldwide.

Voted yes to incarcerate, physically violate, and torture immigrant children.

I'm not alarmed. This is the feature, not a bug.

I am sickened though.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
