🇺🇸 The Russian side will send Steve Witkoff back “with a counter-proposal that Witkoff will screw up and present as a great deal,” a US official told WP.

Putin will try to return the talks to the original 28 points, which were changed by 🇺🇦🇪🇺. “And then everything will just fall apart,” he said.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.
