BOOM. President Biden just released an ad of Nikki Haley saying he’s the most pro-union president, Tim Scott talking about the first bill Biden passed helping unions, & a Fox anchor saying how President Biden “prioritizes union jobs” & captioned it “Yes.” This is how it’s done.

Watch here. This is just so good. Yes, President Biden has been the most pro-union, pro-worker president of our lifetimes. Glad Republicans are helping us admit it!

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has been indicted on federal corruption and bribery-related charges. The senator’s wife was also charged “in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen.”
The senator was indicted on similar corruption charges in 2015.
The Recount (@therecount) posted at 8:59 AM on Fri, Sep 22, 2023:
In the indictment, prosecutors in New York said they found “over $480,000 in cash—much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe—” at the Menendez home, as well as “fingerprints and/or DNA” of a co-defendant.
