This is underreported story. But it’s important.

Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.

Republicans blamed Hillary for 4 dead in Benghazi. They blamed Biden for 13 dead in Afghanistan.

Trump’s war has already left 13 U.S. troops dead in just three weeks. Where’s the GOP outrage now?

Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he's unfit to be commander in chief"

The Post and Courier, which is leading the investigative work on the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child, looks into the woman’s FBI interview and substantiates many details through public records
"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."
