Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems. This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/usa...
