🔥Another violation of the Hatch Act self-promoting in gov't food boxes?

Now in Government Food Aid Boxes: A Letter From Donald Trump!

He sure did!

msn.com/en-us/news/pol…
Millions of Americans who are struggling to put food on the table may discover a new item in government-funded relief packages of fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat: a letter signed by Donald Trump.

#PartyOfCorruption Image
The message, printed on White House letterhead in both English & Spanish, touts the admin's response to the coronavirus, including aid provided through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program, a U.S. Department of Ag initiative to buy fresh food and ship it to needy families. Image
It’s the latest example of the president blurring his official duties with his reelection campaign, most prominently by hosting Trump’s acceptance speech for the Republican nomination last week on the White House lawn.

Democratic lawmakers have gone so far as to say the USDA letter violates the federal Hatch Act.

The law prohibits government officials from using their positions or taxpayer resources to engage in electioneering. Image
Though the president himself is exempt, the ban applies to White House staff and agencies such as the USDA. Image
“Using a federal relief program to distribute a self-promoting letter from the President to American families just three months before the presidential election is inappropriate and a violation of federal law,” Image
argued 49 House Democrats led by Marcia Fudge of Ohio in an August 14 letter to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, requesting information about the purpose and process behind Trump’s letter. Image
“A public health crisis is not an opportunity for the administration to promote its own political interests. Likewise, a federal food assistance program should not be used as a tool for the President to exploit taxpayer dollars for his re-election campaign.” Image

Trump Admin protected businesses, not people.

Nursing homes are increasingly seeking to shield themselves from a raft of wrongful death lawsuits from the families of Covid-19 victims by invoking new liability protections they received from Trump Admin.

politico.com/news/2021/05/2…
About 200 lawsuits in nearly half the states have already been filed, and the industry says it’s bracing for many more in the coming months given the virus’ outsize toll on residents and staff.
But an emergency preparedness law expanded by Congress last year limiting health providers’ exposure to coronavirus-related lawsuits — and the Trump administration’s broad interpretation of those protections — are upending litigation against nursing homes.

175 Cowardly House Republicans chose not to "back the Blue" to investigate & hold those responsible for enlisting & inciting the Jan 6th attack.

We won't let them ever forget...neither will Americans & the world who watched in horror,
The Capitol Police aren't forgetting what happened.

Looks like Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell are not "Backing the Blue" after all.

If those are not held accountable for enlisting & inciting January 6th attack...history will repeat itself.

Who/what are Kevin & Mitch covering up?

They're putting more lives in danger/harms way.

We must have a January 6th Commission @AlexPadilla4CA

Republican elected officials and political operators are simultaneously enabling his dangerous corruption and lining his pockets. The latest example of this took place last weekend as the Save America Summit hosted at Trump National Doral.
Women for America First, the dark money group that hosted the summit, was also behind Trump’s January 6th rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

Who knew?
