The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.

One reason to not grant Putin the privilege of meeting the 🇺🇸 president on equal standing is that he’s a war criminal illegally occupying 1/5 of 🇺🇦. But we were stupid enough to do that, so now he’s emboldened to increase nightly bombings & to try & kill a key leader of our closest allies.

The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
