This Rubio meeting w/Orban is shameful.US diplomacy is upside down.Orban should be treated as a pariah, per its citizens whocontinue to protest his autocratic rule. He should not be wished success, but rather be opposed as an anti democratic regime that it is. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Trump's polling numbers should have Nixon cheering from his grave: wow -61% in terms of his leadership on the economy; -61% on foreign policy---These numbers set an all time record of the lowest polling data on a sitting president in US history. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
