Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

"I was put in a headlock, dragged out into the mob. I was restrained. I was beaten."

Former police officer & Jan. 6 hero Michael Fanone slams Donald Trump calling the violence against himself and other officers during the Capitol insurrection “very minor incidents" when defending his 1,500 pardons.

This! This guy also had a domestic violence charge for strangulation in 2017 and other totally violent thug charges Jan 6 and beyond.

All these violent criminals just pardoned and released on the streets by a president who claims tough on crime. 😡
Leader Jeffries has a Jan. 6 graphic

Finally- long time coming! I was so happy to see that Biden commuted Leonard Peltier’s sentence.

The evidence against him was full of holes and it’s likely he was innocent of the crimes in the first place.
i’m actually stunned joe biden did this. good on him for this one, genuinely. there were people who supported obama in 2007 asking him to do this and he never did

This is an important understanding of the passage of the ERA and what it means from Tribe and Sullivan, top constitutional scholars. The Contrarian publishing this is next level vs MSM who focused on the wrong issues. Historic Biden move!

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
