"Not only are families barred from rejecting donated shares at the outset, they are also prohibited from selling those unwanted shares, in most cases for at least five years." You could call it a five-year plan.

Trump Accounts Were a GOOD Idea. He Just Made It an Icky One.
What started as a bipartisan savings concept now comes with stocks you can’t reject, a five-year lockup, and some very happy billionaires.

If the goal of impeachment is to remove Trump from office, then it is pointless unless there are 60 votes in the senate to approve removing him. The 2 times he was impeached without being removed had very little negative effect. If you think it will shame/embarrass him then sure go ahead.

Democratic Coalition: Not sure people realize what a fraud this man is, ran talking non-stop about lowering costs “on day one”. He’s not only NOT done that, he skyrocketed costs further, price’s are through the roof, he mocks the problem, won’t lift a finger to solve it… Send a message Nov. 3rd!🗳️💙

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

We need a rule that says candidates for statewide office can only send fundraising text messages to residents of that state. I’m getting tired of having to text ‘stop’ to all these candidates in other states asking for money.
