I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.
As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.
She replied: “To get out of here.”

The previous president was forced to drop out of running for re-election because of concerns over cognitive decline, all while sounding far more coherent than this.

It’s crazy to me, how many Americans still think Puerto Rico is a foreign country. And insulting them.
Every Puerto Rican is an American citizen. And when any of them move to the mainland, they are able to vote for the president of the United States.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.
Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.
It’s about preparation.
