Learning to live with Chinese authoritarianism: The wife of the jailed ex-president of Interpol has had no news from her husband or parents in 3 years. “Many families in China today are facing a similar fate.” #TheAPInterview @AP @johnleicester

🔥🔥🔥Liz Cheney real talk: “Trump broke Ted Cruz..A real man would be defending his wife, and his father, and the Constitution.”
