A central figure in our government. Shameful shit.

Too many of America’s Children don’t wake up with a Morning Glow & Ready for a New Day. The 3800+ kidnapped certainly don’t. Neither do those w/Food & Housing Insecurity or worried about their school day, gun violence & if there’s someone to come home to! youtu.be/QXOr3sQqw8s?... go.bsky.app/JvDVijn
