Donald Trump failed to exorcize the ghost of his buddy, Jeffrey Epstein, which now haunts his presidency in a way that no other issue has done, so far.
And he is deeply, deeply freaked out.

Given the likelihood that ICE will soon see a massive boost in its budget, I figured I’d document what it’s doing to the country with the money it has. Gift link: wapo.st/4lv53Wh
Opinion | This is what ICE is doing with the tax dollars you already provide it
Immigration and Customs Enforcement stands to see a sharp increase in its funding under the Republican budget bill.

I've often heard gerrymandering cited as a reason the House GOP is so right-wing (and therefore Trump supportive). Since the 1970s and 80s, though, even Republican legislators from swing districts have gotten more ideological. The same isn't true of Democrats. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
