Please share this and call Congress.

The constitutional crisis was during his first term. He broke the law and got away with it. The legislative and judicial branches abdicated all responsibility.

We are in a post constitutional crisis
Entire USAID agency worldwide was deleted by a consulting government employee with no authority to do so. It’s a constitutional crisis that puts US national security at risk and normies won’t get this until legacy media says this clearly and loudly.
