It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

The prime minister of Belgium. Destroying our alliance system.

When your National symbol hates him, you should too.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Ferdinand VII, of Spain, known as “el Rey Felón.” His expression betrays his malice and cruelty. Plotted a coup against his own constitutional government, jailed writers and journalists. We also know a felon with absolutist tendencies. #Felons #CrookedRulers #MuseoDelPrado #Art #Goya

From the outset of his first term, the corruption seeped into everything he did. The result: nowadays, not taking bribes and not being corrupt feels counterintuitive to Republicans. #VoteThemOut #TakeOutTheTrash
