Criminal Trial Eve:

The court does not allow cameras or audio in the courtroom….but, we got you covered with Live Updates of the first criminal trial of ‘president’ of the United States.

Monday is an important day for our nation. For the first time ever, a criminal former president of the United States will be tried for his crimes and judged by a jury of his peers. This trial represents real progress on the assertion that “no person is above the law.” pic.twitter.com/exoyYdFMG2

Trump’s first criminal trial starts on Monday. It will be a bumpy ride, but with a smooth ending. At long last, accountability is coming for Donald Trump.

***TFG will have an opportunity to speak if he takes the stand and testifies UNDER OATH.

Congress:

The world is on fire.

We should stand with our Democratic allies and push back against the enemies of freedom.

The House must pass the bipartisan national security bill.

Tomorrow.

2024 Election:

John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy were icon's of their time, profiles in courage, and generational leaders.

RFK. Jr is also an icon – but for anti-vaxxers, conspiracists, and racists. pic.twitter.com/vpzVKtpSKT

Khanna: Trump went to communities that were hurting and said I’m going to bring back these factories. Here’s my question, where were the factories that Trump promised? Biden said I’m going to bring manufacturing back. More manufacturing jobs created than in the past 40 years pic.twitter.com/LFpl6hN2RB

WATCH: Biden has promised to codify Roe v. Wade if re-elected — but it’s unlikely he’d have the votes in the Senate to do that.

Is he offering voters false hope?@GovWhitmer (D-Mich.) says the president will do “everything in his power. … This issue has motivated people.” pic.twitter.com/PSC9N9LWtR

Hey liar!
You know where President Biden is vacationing?

I do. And America does. And the media does. He’s in the situation room. A place you are not familiar with. You can try to gaslight all you want. All you are doing is mounting the wrath of America against you. Can you… pic.twitter.com/hwbEAOKZDf
