They changed the headlines—not the policy.
ICE isn’t in the spotlight anymore… but the raids, detentions, and family separations never stopped.

Considering the IDF doesn't deliberately target journalists, they seem to kill an awful lot of them.

His incompetence and yes, unwarranted arrogance on display for the whole world to see. He's his own worst enemy. Diplomacy is dead if you keep posting threats before and during negotiations. And not one of his minion is willing to stop him. 🙄
