Happy New Year!

The year 2019 promises to be a pivotal year as Democrats in the US House will investigate and expose the Trump Administration corruption. We’ll learn much more about Trump’s ties to Russia through the Mueller investigation report. And we’ll have a whole host of new Democratic leaders throwing their hats in the ring to run for President in 2020.
