GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Our democracy can’t be run by mob bosses and people are tired of these intimidation tactics by Trump.

It’s time for the House to come back to work and deliver for the American people.

Agree. But still the Constitution gave the President too much potential power. That potential has now been realised.

People underestimate the negative influence of Ronald Reagan‘s policies. He was a half-wit surrounded by devious people.

NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment.

The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

But in June, IMs. Thompson testified to a grand
jury in Norfolk that she had lived in the house for years and that she did not pay rent, a person familiar with her testimony said. She was not asked to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Ms. James was not seated in Norfolk, but in Alexandria.
The specter of Mr. Trump's revenge campaign has so far overshadowed the facts of the case, given how he has pushed for Ms. James's punishment. For years, he has railed against her on social media, calling her a "crook" and
"corrunt" Last month. he also appointed Ms.

The family, Nakia Thompson and her children, have lived at the address ever since, according to two people familiar with the home, and until this week, the plan for a more lacid existence had largely gone as expected. Several times a year, the people said, a great-aunt who had purchased the house in 2020 with Ms.

This week, with the filing of court papers some 200 miles north, the plan came to an abrupt end.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

Certainly not a more powerful one that has escaped justice so comprehensively and been so well rewarded for their crimes.

Wrong how? To believe in it so completely?

I'm very insulting towards Americans for voting Trump and those who didn't for not sufficiently fighting back. But it isn't until you attack their hallowed Constitution that they get defensive. You can call them cunts all day long but don't dare to question that clearly faulty document. Odd.
