Wow, shades of the 2019 Border Patrol Facebook scandal of Trump’s first term, when dozens of agents were part of a group posting mocking memes about migrants kids who died crossing the border.

This particular officer went viral in the Chicago raids for pulling his gun on people.

But Indiana Republicans weren’t on my list.

While millions jump the Trump Train, some like Liam Neeson appear to have joined. Neeson leant his voice to an anti-vax "documentary". Neeson's people claim he's not ant-vax but the video gems include:
Vaccines not safely tested🤯
Attacks on Anthony Fauci😡
Thousands lost to covid restrictions😲
Liam Neeson denies anti-vax views after narrating Covid documentary
Taken star lends his voice to a film that questions the legitimacy of vaccines and includes interview with RFK Jr

Trump very explicitly said he was opposed to anything that helped the disabled, so we can't be too surprised, but I still keep being surprised at how heartless he truly is.

Here in Illinois, we're ensuring that all mothers have access to the full spectrum of maternal health care.

US News has recognized 23 Illinois hospitals as high-performing in its ranking of the Best Hospitals for Maternity Care.

It's a testament to the progress we've made here.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"

It's been 25 years since a blatantly corrupt SCOTUS decision changed the world.

We may never know who actually won, because they made sure we could never find out.

Imagine how different the world would be today.
