NEW: a MAGA sheriff is running for election in 3 weeks in Virginia, with ties to countless far-right groups & a rabidly anti-immigration agenda.

But now there's more: He's running while under federal indictment for bribery & fraud.

She got a gun for protection after a neighbor attacked her. She felt safer ... until her 2-y-o found the gun in her purse one day. He shot himself and died.

Guns don't keep you safer. Stop believing the NRA's lies and propaganda.

👀👀 Pagliery, cont’d:

As promised: the judge started the day by threatening Trump ***with imprisonment.**

He's demanding Trump's lawyers to explain themselves.

Judge doesn't accept that excuse, saying that Trump is still personally responsible.

For years, Republicans worked to outlaw abortion. Now that they’ve accomplished that, they’re going after birth control pills. What can be done to stop them?
