Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.
It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

President Biden said he’s stunned by how much damage President Trump has managed to cause in just one year calling it “a special kind of talent.” He added that Trump keeps talking about America’s “golden days,” but the only thing golden is the décor he hung over the fireplace!!

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

Vovchansk, now barely more than rubble. Russia has tried to capture the city for 565 days, even filming propaganda clips claiming victory and raising flags. But the 57th Brigade and supporting units are still holding the line.

Russia may have just lost its only active launch pad for manned space missions. After today’s launch of Soyuz MS-28 from Baikonur, which sent three crew members to the ISS, the service platform at Launch Pad 31 appears to have been severely damaged by rocket exhaust.
