I thought this was great reporting, at least the portion I watched. I may try to watch more later.
I follow Qasim Rashid & Kat Abhugazaleh. so I did see the video where they were attacked. Kat is short in height, so she really got hammered in the face.
To the commenter who thinks this is not as worthy to report as the other things?
If we allow the president’s admin to continue what they are doing? Not one of us will have ANY of the other things you mention. He is demented & has the government shut-down. Like WTF do you expect to happen? Have you ever even read the Constitution & Other American Papers (amendments)?
For stupid people, let me make it easy for you. Authoritarianism works like dominos! You aren’t going to have insurance, food, electricity, etc. Insurance goes up 114% or more in a few months. There is nothing that can be done with a shut-down government other than lawsuits & class action lawsuits. People voted for this sh*t & now you f*ckers get the reality of it.
Jordan - you need to seek help for your TDS! This is all you write about. There is nothing else in this world that needs reporting? Maybe the excessive cost for insurance? how about the millions of seniors who were cancelled from their Medicare Advantage plan? high food prices? soaring cost of electricity? Nothing but Trump? Amazing ...
