I wrote about Tulsi Gabbard and her endless pro-Trump sycophantic U-turns on the 2020 election, on Iran, and on Venezuela.
Is Tulsi Gabbard the Most Shameless, Desperate Member of the Trump Cabinet?
The former Democratic congresswoman turned director of national intelligence is willing to U-turn on the 2020 election and war with Venezuela and Iran just to appease her boss and keep her job.

As a soccer mom, this story absolutely gutted me. Martin helped his mom save up money so she could take time off from work to go to the tournament with him. Then, he had to go home without her.
Martin, an 18-year-old citizen and soccer player, traveled with his Madison-area team to Minneapolis for a Futsal tournament (which my kid's team was going to play in, then opted out). While there, ICE stopped Martin and took his mom, who has been detained since.
