Allow me to phrase it differently for you, Dave.
Are you willing to pay an average of 32% more for everything you consume, along with a massive drop to our GDP just so you don’t have to look at brown people?
THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting.

It would be a miracle if even 1 current #Republican Congressperson had the spine to do what is right, rather than worry about a primary threat from Trump or Musk. PROVE that you’re about helping people, rather than keeping a job.

Let me add that Russian State TV referred to Tulsi Gabbard as "our girl" and was hailed as Russia's “comrade” by Kremlin state media.
So of course Trump wants her to be the Director of National Intelligence.
@AnthonyColey This is true. The SCOTUS delay guaranteed no trial before the election and the spineless republicans in the Senate are the 2 main factors that have allowed him to escape justice.
@AnthonyColey So many of the underpinnings of American democracy have been eroded over the last few decades by Republican policies going back to Ronald Reagan. Reagan's neutering of the FCC allowed the rise of media conglomerates and right wing media which normalized anti-democratic ideals.
A lot of blame going around for Trump escaping criminal accountability. But let’s be real: John Roberts & conservatives on the Supreme Court own this. They intentionally protected Trump: ignoring the facts, twisting the law and — for the first time in history — making an American president above it.
When the owner of this website, the richest man in the world, the most followed-man on Twitter, constantly, daily, hourly, posts again and again to tens of millions of followers that the media lies, that the media can’t be trusted, that all media is corrupt and dishonest, you don’t think that has a massive effect not just on trust and polarization in society, but on election outcomes and political messaging? Especially when it comes after years of Donald Trump doing the exact same thing?
If Dems, and liberals in general, don’t understand the way in which Musk, Trump and co have cynically created an unpenetrable bubble around their followers, primed them against a reality-based universe, pre-emptively undermined any negative stories about themselves, then Dems and liberals will never be able to ‘win’ - in terms of narratives or elections. It’s key to everything. It’s at the heart of everything.
Destroying its economy will end the ability of the russian terrorist state to wage war.
Impose a total embargo on the Russian Federation. Prohibit all economic activity, trade, commerce, finance and exchange with any Russian individual or entity.
Impose a full blockade.
The ruble is crashing. This is an opportunity to destroy the economy of the russian terrorist state.
A similar opportunity arose in late 2014, a few months after russian terrorists invaded Ukraine. Foolishly, it wasn't exploited.
Now we have a second chance to end the war.
Remember, they didn't cut Matt Gaetz loose because he paid a 17-year-old for sex.
They cut him loose because too much evidence was coming out proving he'd paid a 17-year-old for sex.
What happens now to our republic if We The People knowingly allowed and enabled our Founding Fathers’ worst nightmare to come true?
My new piece for @DemJournal attempts to answer a question I hoped to never have been asked.👇🏼

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."
