DOJ withheld evidence from the grand jury which would possibly negate the charges against Letitia James.
Halligan claimed Hames was going to rent the property as a second home but James never rented it. She lived there.

tRump decided he’d better pay the troops after allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho. I guess troops lining up at food banks didn’t look so good for the regime.

The Republican government shutdown provides poor optics for the Republicans

Military families “lining up at a foodbank” embarrassed Trump

How did he think the unemployed were going to survive

He’ll now pay them on 10/15

The Trump shutdown exposed Republicans’ cruelty

Dementia Don seems to have forgotten that he was President on J6. Just another blatant lie and his base will believe it. No critical thinking skills whatsoever! 🙄

A waste-free Pentagon isn't happening

Sending thousands of National Guard troops to Democratic cities, that are already peaceful, is draining the Pentagon’s budget & abusing Trump’s authority

Why is America allowing a weak-minded old man to devastate the country we love

No tragedy or national crisis gets in the way of Trump’s golf game

The government shutdown, the stock market plunge due to tariffs, flash floods, hurricanes, etc, Trump isn't working to help the people, he’s golfing

I have the backstory on that as well; which I will post in a day or so.

It's happened because of a thing called "Project 100,000"

"Woke Content" will be in Vietnam for a few days.

There's hidden history we need to learn.

Sending thousands of troops to peaceful Democratic cities will drain our country by two-thirds of a billion dollars - DC costs $200 million

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

Maybe this is a new thing they do but I can’t recall ever quoting a ‘cardiac age’ to any patient, even on insurance physicals. With tRump he usually finds a way to tip his hand, I think he’s got some serious heart issues with his exactly “14 years younger” cardiac status.

Is this astounding claim true? They say they want to use it for catching illegal aliens, but once they have that access what's to stop them from, e.g., insulting the Orange One?

Growing up with protests: Civil Rights, women's rights (bras), rights for the disabled, murdering a President, candidates, leaders journalists.
I never in my wildest dreams thought my next protest would be frogs vs ICE.

Here we are. I'm thinking of scorpion or cactus for AZ.
