Bravo, IG Michael Horowitz. Decision to reduce Stone’s sentencing recommendation was beyond irregular. Flynn motion to dismiss is an even worse abuse of discretion. Would love for the IG to dig to that pile of rot.


‼️Trump’s digital ad asks people to support the troops—but it **uses a photo of #RussianπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ίmade fighter jets and weapons**. So what troops does he want people to support? Trump should just move to Russia already
