You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to. What a clusterfuck.

The landmark site in Montgomery, Alabama, was deemed “not core to government operations,” and other stops in U.S. civil rights history could also be at risk.

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico. No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.” This is Trump’s America.
