Donald Trump is trashing United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain after the union leader announced his organization’s endorsement of Joe Biden’s bid for reelection.  Fain “is a real ‘STIFF’ who is selling the Automobile Industry right into the big, powerful, hands of China,” Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social.  “He bought into Biden’s ‘vision’ of all Electric Vehicles, which require far fewer workers to make each car but, more importantly, are not wanted in large numbers by the consumer, and will…

Voters wanted Gascón to set a corrective course in the nation’s largest local jurisdiction while keeping people safe.He is doing what he promised, and doing it well, despite intense and…
