    The president elected with Russian help is not just parroting Russia’s own propaganda but offering excuses for Russian aggression that not even Russia has made. This incident reveals not only Trump’s invincible ignorance but also his Putinophilia. Me:

    President Trump is now trying to deport more than 9,000 Vietnamese refugees who have been in trouble with the law — even though all of them already served their time, in many cases for nonviolent offenses committed when they were much younger. My latest:

    One of the "mere editorial errors" in this report was a claim that immigrants were convicted of nearly 70,000 sex offenses in a span of 6 years. Except the time span was 55 years, not six; and the data was for arrests, not convictions
