Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – It is late afternoon in Kuala Lumpur and in the harsh heat, Zabi* concludes his third visit to the doctor in a month, still unsure of what is causing his excruciating stomach aches despite all his reports being normal so far.

Opinion Screenshot: Senate Republicans Popular podcaster Darryl Cooper, better known as Martyr Made, posted his thoughts on the $118 billion Senate immigration bill and suggested that border security negotiations between Republicans and Democrats are all for show because both parties have the same goals.
