"THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S policy of “third-country removals” is bad enough. But a detail adds a sinister, if symbolic, touch: Such third-country deportations are being overseen by a new division within the State Department known as the Office of Remigration." www.thebulwark.com/p/remigratio...

Donald Trump is a sick person. You almost feel you can't hold him fully responsible for his deep psychological deformities. I have more contempt for his aides, who, in humoring him, feed his illness and encourage him to do both symbolic and real damage to the nation. www.ms.now/news/trump-f...

New Fox News poll. Democrats lead 51%-44% on generic ballot among registered voters. Among those who say they're certain to vote, it's 54%-43%. The "real" Dem lead right now is probably ~ 9 points, and creeping up.
