If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.

I’m seeing posts saying Trump can’t cancel the elections. Know he has every intention of doing that. He is putting his feelers out. More deaths will start to stack up if we wait till next November to get this administration out. I hope he truly is not able to cancel the elections!!!!!!

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

There was also an increase in "push factors" and a reduction in safer alternatives, with Labour cutting key existing routes, so it is hardly a suprise. Labour learned nothing from the previous government, harsher asylum policies increase the use of irregular routes. 1/
