It’s right there in the screenshot. It’s a commemorative coin, so it wouldn’t be in regular circulation.

Whether or not I agree with that is a whole other thing but it’s not *clearly* violating the law

In which White House Chief Propagandist (former plagarist) Benny Johnson peddles a narrative that "left-wing terrorists" have overrun Chicago for 12 straight minutes.

Benny is one the MAGA influencers that was duped into working for Russia for millions of dollars.

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now.

This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country.

So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.
