Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

President Trump, I am calling on you to fire Secretary Kennedy immediately.
He has contributed to this measles outbreak by spreading falsehoods about vaccines.
His reckless rhetoric will cost lives.

These people didn’t just break the rules they set the rulebook on fire, shoved it down a storm drain, and then lectured the rest of us about ‘law and order.’ This isn’t a justice system it’s a crime scene.

Two private jets for Kristi Noem. Endless funding for ICE’s reign of terror. And now, a glorious new ballroom. But nothing for Americans on the brink of hunger.
Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.
It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Using DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents is wrong.
Vindictive prosecutions are wrong.
Selective prosecutions are wrong.
The involvement of "career prosecutors" does not change any of this or make it better -- it just shows that some career prosecutors are willing to work for this regime.
