This week, Trump quietly released his National Security Strategy.
It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world.
Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.

Today the President of the United States called for the killing of his political opponents. People need to understand how serious that is.
This is not normal. This cannot be something only Democrats condemn. Every leader and American must condemn this.

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”
But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.
