Letās make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. ā Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Harris warned everyone a year ago that Trump would let Putin get away with anything, including an attack against the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. Last night, Putin violated Polish airspace and Russian drones had to be shot down. Kamala Harris was EXACTLY RIGHT.

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus. Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory. If NATO doesnāt set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia wonāt stop.

ICE is preying on working-class immigrant families. Los Angeles is the epicenter of this escalating show of force. Trump is giving ICE $170 billion, roughly the size of Russia's annual military budget. That money is fueling this cruelty, and I fear this is the start of martial law.
