Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the situation remains difficult after the attack
(especially on the left bank, where we live).
We had power for about four hours, enough to charge everything before it went off again.
Heating is minimal.
Yes, I got sick.
Thank you for your care. Everything will be fine.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.
I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.
Time to melt ICE.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Democratic governors and mayors should begin organizing their communities to eject DHS. Like actual organizing. Create local defense groups, like minutemen, that can shift hundreds or thousands of residents across town quickly. This is all perfectly legal, of course.
