“Fight for working class Americans”
“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”
5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

So... I did a thing in federal court on Wednesday.
Next plaintiff witness is Edgewater resident Jo-Elle Munchek, an attorney licensed to practice in IL.
She's testifying about the morning of Oct. 10, when she recorded agents conducting an arrest of lawn care workers.
"Smile nice boys, for the Hague," she can be heard saying in the recording.

Nice try AG Pam Bondi.
What about videos, photographs and other recordings?
What about FBI 302’s (witness interviews)?
What about texts and emails?
That’s where the evidence about Trump and others will be.
Grand jury testimony will only relate to Epstein and Maxwell.

CBS will be ending Stephen Colbert's run as host of The Late Show, days after he criticized parent company Paramount's $16 million payment to Trump. Here's why the Left has a censorship problem.

MEDICAID IS HEALTH INSURANCE.
Many people on Medicaid WORK but their employers either don't offer health ins to them or do, but don't pay a living wage, never mind enough to pay premiums. (amazon,walmart?)
So, please reframe the Reich Wing's "hand out" bs
