Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

Before every meeting or even phone call with Zelinskyy, Trump first calls Putin. That should tell you something.
It is a strictly one-way street since he never calls Zelinskyy, EU leaders, or anyone else before talking with Putin.
Clearly, Putin's approval matters to him.

When other nations broadcast news that the US has decided is contraband and won’t broadcast, you know you’re living in a third world authoritarian country.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Everyone from Dr. Moore to folks like me, just a local (now former) Baptist Sunday School teacher tried our best to warn our fellow evangelicals about the dangerous path they were on from 2015/16 until now. Alas, to little avail. The chickens are coming home to roost.

The Trump presidency is being kept alive by nothing more than denial at this point.
Denial that his policies aren't gravely hurting American households and potentially pushing the economy into a recession.
Denial that he doesn't have dementia and isn't fit to serve. #trump

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.
