I just found this guy in my mentions, pushing what might be the saddest try for a Both Sides! I’ve ever seen.

If Democrats are shown to be complicit in the sex trafficking etc, they should face the full consequences. But Plaskett texting Epstein during a hearing is not remotely in that category.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.
