Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Butt out Netanyahu. Ugly political point-scoring follows Bondi Beach tragedy - Michael West
Israel’s Prime Minister should butt out of Australian politics. The tragedy at Bondi Beach must not be exploited for political points.

Amusing!
President Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) for deciding to run for reelection as a Democrat, a move that came after the president pardoned him last week ahead of a trial on federal corruption charges.

“Such a lack of LOYALTY,” Trump said.

Yes, it takes a lot of sustained effort to rebuild trust.
“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).

I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”
