Trump has denied that he is considering an emergency declaration to seize control of elections — but proponents say the draft order has gained traction within the White House.

Nice valentine to my city from the NY Times. Please enjoy this gift article to know more about where I’m from.
BTW, I have a much better photo of those falls. ;-)

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
Because the Prime Minster of Israel is telling the stupid buffoon in the White House what to do?
Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.
This is what happens when the Secretary of HHS is a guy who snorts cocaine off of a toilet seat
Marc Elias on why Trump attacked Venezuela and Iran. He needs a villain to blame for his fabricated claims of election fraud.
