I recall a wonderful report on CBS Sunday morning about 5 months ago, ergo fact finding. The statement was, "You do not have the right to your own facts." - Words to live by in these days with our torqued trump administration. Note my nod to poor Capitalization. www.toolzo.online/2025/02/why-...

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans. They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

L - Eric Trump tells people to “buy the dips” on crypto. R - A couple days later, Trump makes his crypto announcement. How much time did the media spend on Hunter Biden? I read more articles about Biden’s shoes than this blatant and obvious corruption.
