#BREAKING: Alicia: "We begin today with Donald Trump's retribution campaign as the list of his perceived enemies seemingly grows exponentially day by day. A brand new analysis from Reuters finds the president and his allies have targeted at least 470 people and organizations since January. That is more than one new target every single day since he came back into power."🤦♀️
