Update on Liam Conejo Conejo Ramos, detained in Texas. A crowd also gathered at Dilley today to protest his detention. At the end of a peaceful march, a line of DPS officers shoved the crowd back and deployed tear gas.

cAllies are not ornaments. They are force multipliers. They are how America projects power without exhausting itself. They are how we avoid fighting alone, paying alone, bleeding alone. Undermining them in a moment of global tension is not toughness—it is sabotage.

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.

With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want.

I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent.

If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do.

I'm sorry.
US will take Greenland the ‘hard way’ if it can’t do it the ‘easy way,’ Trump says | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.
