He’s doing all of this to stop the Epstein files. Put a country into a war to stop the truth from coming out about him. My god it must be worse then we even imagine if he’s willing to start a war!! Although if he does he’ll invoke martial law so he can take total control over the US.

A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Elephants are intelligent creatures that play a key role in their ecosystems by germinating plants and more.
Unfortunately, they are threatened by poaching and affected by habitat loss, along with human-wildlife conflict.
This #WorldElephantDay and every day, let's protect these majestic animals.
