Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

They want to replace the manual labor jobs of the immigrants that they disappeared with our children.
It’s been their plan all along.
My dad picked cotton as a child from the time he could walk and hold a cotton sack so that I wouldn’t have to.
We are not going back.

Florida AG James Uthmeier: "We need to focus on getting people into the workforce even earlier. We passed legislation last year to help high school students get their hands dirty and get on job sites more quickly."

A "civil war" has erupted between Republicans in SC over closing the primaries (right now, SC voters can choose which primary they would like to vote in). Watch for an update on the fate of these contentious bills.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

And this is how they’re being treated.
