A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Although Trump has the broad power to grant a pardon or commutation to Maxwell, Raskin’s resolution would “put House members on record opposing a pardon for Maxwell, adding pressure to the White House if the chamber votes overwhelming in favor”

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

And to be clear: I'm not trying to insinuate that Nuzzi was sleeping with Rudy.
I'm saying she was WAYYYYY more defensive of this story, which WAS groundbreaking when published, long after we had far more details about what Rudy was actually dealing with.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:
If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

This is top article on front page.
"...Mr. Biden’s voice has grown softer and raspier, his hair thinner and whiter... adding to an impression of frailty.
Mr. Trump, by contrast, does not appear to be suffering the effects of time in such visible ways."
