The Collusion Delusion is OVER!
-President Donald Trump
Several Democratic presidential candidates called on President Trump's AG William Barr to resign his post after refusing to attend the House Judiciary Committee, and for his appearance on the Senate side.
Sen. Hirono called Trump a "grifter and a liar"
"Like many public systems, GOP want to rip the battery out + say the whole car doesn’t work, so they can sell it for parts.
Fully funding the VA & hiring to fill the *49k vacancies* is a clear path to improving it - not auctioning off our vet care systems to for-profit companies."-Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Unfortunately, all "public systems" have either failed or are failing, including the VA. Maybe she should ask a veteran about his or her's experience with the VA. My father is a vet and has to wait months on end for a single follow up appointment. The VA is broken,needs to be replace, at the very least, streamlined,
More Ocasio-Cortez
AOC supports Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, but maybe not for long. Maduro just announced that his government has just reactivated a Mineral coal mine in his country. Sooooo not very "Green New Deal"

100 arrests in Florida in Fentanyl drug bust
Police in Brevard County, Fla., arrested 100 people in a monthslong drug investigation involving the seizure of enough fentanyl to kill every person in the county.
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that arrest warrants for 100 people connected to a criminal organization were issued Wednesday as a part of the multi-agency investigation into the operation. That operation, they said, brought in large quantities of opiates including heroin, fentanyl and methamphetamine from outside the county for sale in Brevard.
Throughout the course of the investigation, the Special Investigations Unit, in conjunction with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, seized 75 firearms, over $80,000 worth of meth and over 500,000 lethal doses of fentanyl -- enough “kill every single resident of Brevard County,” the sheriff’s office said.
