REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Here we go again! Trump is lying again and insisting that it's Putin who wants a peace deal and not Zelensky, despite all of our former European allies stating that Moscow has little interest in ending the war.
Trump is clearly and indisputably a Russian asset, a traitor, and Putin's puppet!

"Trump believes he’s entitled to control the Fed and turn the money spigot on full blast. His buddy Recep Tayyip Erdogan figured the same thing and ordered Turkey’s central bank to cut interest rates repeatedly, even as inflation topped 80 percent in 2022."

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

How many fake tough guys does it take to beat up a girl?
ICE chokes woman—clenching his bare hands around her throat while 3 other kidnappers hold her.
Agent then takes his 2 thumbs & gouges both her eyes out—mutilating her face.
Woman lifted & tossed in back of unmarked car like bag of potatoes.
"She's a U.S. citizen!" yells witness.

Prof. Justin Wolfers warns: a US president has never before threatened a Fed Chair with jail. It has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela. That's how strongmen crush institutions, torch currencies and trigger hyperinflation. This path ends badly.
