Trump gave Putin a giant gift of a meeting in the United States. I hope he gets something in return of value to the American people.

It’s extremely rare for a grand jury to decline to take indictment. Twice in the same case suggest prosecutors can’t read the room—this grand jury is refusing to indict their ham sandwich. That doesn’t bode well for their Subway sub.
BREAKING: Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.
Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

On Wed., Democrats asked a simple question:
Who here thinks American kids with cancer *shouldn’t* be deported?
Not a single Republican raised their hand. Not one.
This isn’t policy—it’s depravity.
The cruelty is deliberate.
The cowardice is staggering.
