Epstein survivors are pleading with the Senate to reject this man TODAY. He responded to a direct question about the case that defined his tenure with fake confusion. We see it. We’re not letting this slide. Call your senators now. #BlockBlanche
Donald Trump claimed there was election fraud in 2020 to gain access to the voting machines to rig the 2024 election. This is how he won. He can’t do it in secret, now. So he’s going to do it publicly. He’s going to show you why he let Tina Peters out. He’s going to cheat right in front of you.
Enough said. #AbolishICE
