It is not too early for Democrats to build a Project 2028, because if we win, every single agency is going to have to be restaffed and rebuilt from the ground up in the first 100 days, and "We're going to undo the damage" can't be the sole item on our four-year agenda.READ NEXT POST BEFORE REPLYING>

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?

Quick reminder about this RU tool as he spouts more lies and faux outrage in front of Congress today #russianasset
As I wrote back in 2019, Ron Johnson has been a traitor for over seven years now...ever since he got back from his Fourth of July trip to Moscow in 2018.
No surprise he's been out there spreading Kremlin propaganda about vaccines.
