Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina: newrepublic.com/article/2074...

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall
Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event. They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.
Black graphic with a quote attributed to Juana Rodriguez, ACLU client challenging an unlawful immigration raid in Wilder, Idaho: "My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos, experiences that no child should ever be exposed to. I'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end."
