"Rafa" says it was a bit over 40° and damp and foggy when he began pruning grapevines this morning in Madera CA. "I earn minimum wage. This cold damp weather makes our bones ache, but I'm grateful for the work, since there is very little work at this time of year." #WeFeedYou

Jimmy Kimmel pulled off the air after MAGA outrage. Kash Patel clashed with Dems in Congress while lying about Epstein. And Trump’s approval just cratered to 39%, the lowest of his presidency. Don't miss a beat:
Kimmel suspended 'indefinitely.' Patel spars with Congress. Trump's approval rating plummets.

He feigns strength, but the reality is that he's operating from a place of weakness.

Call them on their bullshit.
Bring the facts.
