The level of corruption throughout the Trump administration is simply astonishing. The USA is being run by a kleptocracy. Trump must be impeached and thrown in jail, along with his cronies.
As the top Democrat overseeing the National Endowment for the Humanities, I’ve spent the past few months digging into the Administration’s unprecedented dismantling of the agency.

It's curious that the IDF and West Bank settlers are specifically and intentionally targeting a Christian village, and US ambassador to Israel Rev Mike Huckabee has absolutely nothing to say about this. I wonder why.

For some reason, nobody mentions this, but Trump himself extended TPS to Venezuelan refugees in his first term, which continued under Biden; only to now villainize them, portray them as gangsters and killers, enemy number 1 to be mass deported, today. Really sick stuff.
This is the Trump admin's gift to the Florida GOP in exchange for their support during the campaign: an official policy that all Cubans and Venezuelans are inherently suspicious and should probably be denied immigration benefits.
We'll see how that goes over.
