This week Trump traveled to the U.K., where he  was met with mass protests which he denied existed, then to his property  in Ireland en route to the 75th anniversary of D-Day ceremony in  Normandy, where he attacked Robert Mueller and Speaker Nancy Pelosi in  an interview. In London, Trump and his children acted more as if a royal  family than a head of state, and continued to intertwine their business  dealings and the presidency.

Democrats in the House continue to clash over  starting impeachment proceedings, as the Trump regime continued its  stonewalling Congress for both witnesses and documentation related to  the Mueller probe, the 2020 census citizenship question, and even the  environment.

This week was notable for the escalation of  broad-based attacks on women’s rights and protections, as an actress in  “The Handmaid’s Tale” bemoaned how quickly the country is mirroring the  fictional dystopian nation of Gilead. Conditions for migrants at the  border worsened, with more deaths and army and oil-field worker  facilities being requisitioned to house migrant children.
