Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.

WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?

Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

Simón Bolívar fought to liberate huge parts of South America from the rule of a far away empire. Machado evokes his memory as she tries to justify her own vassalage to the United States.

I can imagine how this goes down with people in Venezuela.
