If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

So many stories of our friends to the north and overseas who just go to the doctor when they need to. Get the tests they need to properly diagnose. Then they get the treatment they require. And it all usually costs them nothing, or a small copay like $5. I want that. We can have it. We should!

So, they're turning on trump now over the Epstein files and things we've known about him for a long long time (pedophile, rapist, liar, etc) I'm guessing that's all part of the plan to get JD Vance as Pres, and everything they can to keep him there. He can run (and win 2 more times, legally)
