I posted one chapter of it last night on Substack.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

As Trump consider’s her pardon, remember that Ghislaine perjured herself over and over again. As proven on page 234 of the Birthday Book, she knew Jeffrey Epstein beginning in the ‘70s, not 1991 as she claimed.
