This is not an issue of politics. It's a basic issue of human decency. We locked up someone, in totally inhumane conditions, for the crime of making a mistake on a VISA application.

The threat of authoritarianism is not merely authoritarians. It's the people that fear for their own position recognize the threat and do nothing.

It's increasingly obvious Congress fears for their job safety more than they care about rule of law, separation of powers or their duty to the people

Trump is freezing aid to Ukraine, because he is a coward and a child. He is selling out Ukraine to Putin because his feelings got hurt. He's a weak little man that is throwing a tantrum, and the price of this tantrum is the lives of Ukrainians fighting to keep their freedom.
