That's a hell of a take - "we suck at our jobs, so you definitely can't trust us with this"

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Don't download the Trump app. Everything he does is underhanded and dishonest.

Corruption isn’t a victimless crime. When Trump and Republicans trade the public good for power, profit and billionaire interests, Americans pay with their health, their safety and sometimes their lives. Trump’s #CostOfCorruption kills US. 👇🏼
