“Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, shot by a Border Patrol agent multiple times after allegedly using her car to assault federal law enforcement in Chicago…”

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.
