Jack Smith: “Our case was built on, frankly, Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.”

Trump also had a “pattern” of rejecting information that didn’t fit his false narrative.

Thank You “Fernando”
"Fernando" it's an irrigator in the vegetables. His current task is repairing the irrigation pipes that were damaged in the past season. This way they will be able to reuse them next season. #WeFeedYou

Thank You “Maria”
"Maria" sent us this photo from where she and her coworkers are hard at work in Tulare CA harvesting mandarin oranges. They get paid $60 per 900 lb bin and spend their work day going up and down ladders filling heavy bags of oranges and rushing to dump them in the bin. #WeFeedYou

Thank You “Martin”
"Martin" is pruning grapevines in Madera CA. He is earning CA minimum wage. The work is cold and damp, but he considers himself lucky that he is working 5 days a week sometimes close to 9 - 10 hours a day, which means he could pay the rent and feed his family. #WeFeedYou

Thank you “Sita”
Workers in the area of Huron CA are harvesting pomegranates. "Sita" shares, "We have to climb up and down ladders all day. At this time of year it can get dangerous as the dew makes the ladder slippery. This can cause accidents if we are not careful." #WeFeedYou

Here is some honesty about Phil rivers playing today - he has never been a mobile QB even in his prime - Colts Oline sucks they are ranked 21 out of 32 (maybe why the team is in position they are in??) - I want Seahawks D to make this dipshit regret this decision after his first series …..

Thank you “Santi”
"Santi" harvests pomegranates in Fresno CA. "We carry heavy sacks that weight up to 60lbs. It's hard work at a very low wage. We only earn minimum wage. But there aren't a lot of jobs at this time of year, so we don't have a choice. We need to feed our families." #WeFeedYou

Thank You “Lola”
"Lola" is harvesting apples in Washington State. "We need to buy our own scissors and bag to do the job. The scissors cost $35 and the bag costs $90. Right now it's peak season and the trees are full of apples. If we work fast we can make around $140 in 8 hours. " #WeFeedYou

Thank You “Camilo”
"Camilo" is harvesting pomegranates in Firebaugh, CA. "We earn minimum wage. It's very tiring work. We climb up and down ladders with a heavy sack of fruit. We then rush to empty the sack into the bin. Today was a good day as the ground wasn't wet from the rain." #WeFeedYou

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Than you “Justo”
"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Thank you “Jorge”
"Jorge" shared this video from where he is hard at work pruning cherry trees in the Madera CA area. Pruning trees is hard work as holding these shears up all day long as you climb up and down ladders causes serious strain on workers' arms, shoulders and back. #WeFeedYou
