It is not just about what you see, hear and read. It is what you take from that information. I believe that the country is on a better course without trumpists / trumpism.

We obtained records showing ICE’s attempts to silence voters. The Trump-Vance admin should not be using the power of the federal govt to undermine confidence in our elections. But in America, voters choose their leaders. We’ll continue to use all legal tools to expose threats to elections.

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

The desperation is palpable
Mohammed El-Sayed is a terrible Candidate for the Dumocrats. While his opponent, Mike Rogers, is an extremely good one, Mohammed goes back to the days of the Jihad. He is a RADICAL Extremist, Terrorist Sympathizer, and no different from his best friend, America Hating Hasan Piker. How’s France doing? Mohammed’s Values are not exactly those of Michiganders, or those of our Great United States of America! He is WRONG for Michigan, and WRONG for America. VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS — HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I don't believe that Americans won't work certain jobs, but the reality is that the domestic labor supply largely does NOT want to do backbreaking farm labor; and the wages required to fill the positions could be so high they'd bankrupt farms competing in a global market.

The head of the Fraud Task Force unaware of corruption inside the Trump administration, despite it being widely covered in the media. All by design: The Public Integrity unit in DOJ was gutted and has been told to focus on welfare fraud in blue states. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...
The unit is hiring again to focus on “how politicians and state officials facilitate the misuse of taxpayer dollars.” That sounds good — until you realize what this actually means is they plan to go after blue state officials for allegations of welfare fraud. Trump’s circle will remain safe. After all, his former defense lawyer runs the DOJ now.
