Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"

Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.
Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.
The list goes on.

So, not only are we deporting spouses and family members of our military, we're also going to make them sicker. When we're in the middle of Trump's War of Choice in Iran. Just brilliant wartime strategy from the drunken former Fox News host...
@SecWar: The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 21 Apr 26
Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.
Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.
