CBS ran an UNBELIEVABLE "commercial"? in Dallas @ 1754 hrs (b4 today's Jeopardy) "paid for by the U.S. Government", that was basically a FAFO notice -directed at whom is unclear- with Trump, Hegseth & Rubio highlighting the Venezuela/Maduro operation and basically throwing threats! Anyone see that!

Just watched the 2019 Netflix documentary Raise Hell: The Life and Times Of Molly Ivins. Her love for our rights & the humorous ways she went at politicians - both nationally and in Texas, ring true in today's times even more. She would've torn Trump a new ass! Watch and let her inspire you, too.
