Watching these is shocking and brings me to tears … we can not let this day be whitewashed!!
The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that there are millions of Americans who worship a misogynistic, racist criminal and have chosen him to lead when he will do absolutely nothing to improve their lives.

Elections have consequences, and they could be disastrous.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?
You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Thank you, Oregon! 🙏🏽

The viral claim that 60 fire engines from Oregon were turned away in California over emissions is FALSE.

Three hundred Oregon firefighters volunteered to come and have arrived in Southern California. They’re already fighting fires in Los Angeles.
