I know that fact-checking Trump is like repeatedly slamming your dick with a door, but over on Truth Toilet, he said there are "hundreds of thousands" of Somali "refugees" just in Minnesota. There are 42,500 Somali immigrants in MN. And only 705 under TPS in the entire country. Lies are all he has.

If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

Happy Thanksgiving!
This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for my good health, which was interrupted for a while by a lymphoma. I'm thankful for diagnostic and treatment tools that hopefully will make that lesion a thing of the past. I'll have more news right around Christmas, stay tuned.
