It must be magnificent to be these billionaires and foreign countries, all of whom secretly scorn Trump, giving him lavish but vulgar gifts that he doesn’t understand are elaborate expressions of their contempt for him, his taste, his principles, and his self-awareness.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

To stand up to ICE agents, some Chicagoans are arming themselves with whistles
The plastic whistles have become a way to loudly resist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and warn those who may be in danger.

Pope Leo initially impressed conservative Catholics after his election in May as he embraced traditions shunned by his predecessor Pope Francis and steered clear of hot button social issues that divided the 1.4 billion-member Church.

Beautiful kaboom as a Russian Buk-M2 surface-to-air missile system explodes.
Impressive fireworks courtesy of #Ukrainian Defenders from the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade "Black Forest".
The launcher, worth around $25 million, was completely destroyed.
Glory!
