If you care about mothers on #MothersDay you should care for all mothers year round.
That means you don’t cut their Medicaid, ACA subsidies, CHIPS, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP, TANF or VA benefits. You make sure their water, air & food are safe.

Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation.

The lesson for most of the country of Watergate is that presidential power can be dangerous. But the lesson that Republican lawyers took was that checks & balances are dangerous.

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)
Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine
Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.
