That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Trump still hasn't called MN Gov. Tim Walz. Trump told ABC News today, "Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too."

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He doesn’t care about fighting antisemitism. He’s using it as an opportunity to dismantle higher education and further his authoritarian agenda.
