American spies won’t let a Russian-installed wannabe tyrant help a real tyrant subvert the founding ideals this country stands for. End of story. You’d think Donnie would understand this by now, given his & his family’s present legal predicament(s)...

This is a "break glass" emergency with lives at stake. No one knows it's time to enroll (by Dec. 15) because Trump slashed advertising and promotion. It's up to citizens to spread the word.

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party tickets are almost twice as much as what they were two years ago. It’s almost as if it’s profiting off of Trump’s presidency..

Two million federal workers receive memo warning they can’t use the word ‘resist’ or discuss Trump impeachment at work.


The answer I’m afraid is not one my liberal friends will like. Bill Clinton also went to Epstein’s island. As a result, both political sides just wanted the story to go away.

Warning sign on Acting AG Whitaker Mueller “wanted to put all this on the record…and that raises a concern for me. Why does Bob Mueller feel it necessary to do that? Is it that he fears that Mr Whitaker will shut him down, or prevent him from telling the country what happened?”


Trump colluded with a foreign power to win an election and is trying to distract you from it by turning the border patrol into a military force against poor people leaving countries ravaged by decades of US foreign policy.
