🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

This is why my eyes roll into the back of my head when people say Josh Hawley may have had a change of heart and be working for the people. He’s has not. This is Josh Hawley. This is who he’s always been. An insufferable jerk.

🇺🇦📞🇩🇪Zelensky: Spoke with Friedrich Merz. We discussed the results of my visit to Berlin and the implementation of all our agreements. Russia does not want to end this war, and it is equally obvious that there should be strong sanctions in response to such a blatant mockery of all diplomatic efforts.
