The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

IF TRUMP DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT AS PRESIDENT, HOW WOULD HE AND HIS MOB ACT?

Like they're acting now

Delusional ("Biden's FBI") panicky ("DO SOMETHING") frantic to invade, deport, indict; terrified there's no successor

“Right now he hasn’t felt he needed to,” he added.

It isn’t needed, period. This new era of conservatism is burning through the very freedoms they once claimed to defend. Peddling lies and crushing freedoms is not the same as standing spinelessly by while democratic values crumble. #cdnpoli

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
