Good follow up to the recent demolition of Trump by Chuck and Nancy! Looking forward to more in 2019.

I'm glad that he's finally speaking out, but really, front lines is an exaggeration at best.

finally
[fahyn-l-ee]

adverb
at the final point or moment; in the end.
in a final manner; conclusively or decisively.
at last; eventually; after considerable delay:
After three tries, he finally passed his driving test.

(I believe the third definition applies most closely in this case)

Middle English word dating back to 1325–75; see origin at final, -ly

Related Words for finally
certainly, definitely, permanently, completely, decisively, eventually, ultimately, already, belatedly, someday, subsequently, yet, lastly, assuredly, settled, conclusively, convincingly, determinately, enduringly, inescapably

front lines. Ted Lieu, Maxine Waters, etc. They are doing the work to hold Trump accountable. Note how the RW is after them but not so much Bernie.

real news about what is being done to hold Trump accountable. Tweeting the obvious that Trump is a liar, a fraud, that is something everyone knows. Front lines is actually putting political effort into exposing him and seeing he is held criminally accountable.

Schiff has a wonderful persona, too. There was a time I thought he had a formal prosecutors type demeanor, but he is witty and funny—a real asset for us.

I first heard of him in the early to mid-'90s when my stepfather gave me a gift subscription to The Nation. Can't believe it's been that freakin' long!
