resigning while Obama was President, when she was diagnosed with cancer in
2009. A few people were mightily offended, as I had anticipated. She was a

No money will reach the public before inauguration day if the administration starts now.

The Russian Trolls Have a Simpler Job Today. Quote Trump.As part of their attempt to interfere with the 2020 election, Russians are
grabbing screenshots of President Trump’s tweets, or quoting his own
misleading statements, analysts and officials say.
Many people do not like rump oops Trump.

White House Attacks Former Pence Aide Who Endorsed BidenOlivia Troye, the latest Republican to leave the administration and speak
out against President Trump, called the statements seeking to undermine her
