They carried handmade signs, sang freedom songs, and for one afternoon reminded the nation that resistance still burns hot.
Will Trump’s Fear Factory be his Greatest Weapon or His Ultimate Undoing?

Trump: Is He the Thief in the Ballroom?
Trump is now trying to extract a quarter-billion dollars from the American treasury — our tax dollars — to compensate himself for the troubles he faced when Merrick Garland belatedly tried to hold him to account for criminally stealing classified documents, trying to overthrow the 2020 election, and his explicit, public outreach to Putin to hack Hillary…

For Whom the Outrages Toll. Let us not forget the Epstein Files, first. I mean we know a pedophile when we see one dodge, duck, shuck, and jive. For some reason we need the files.
