I continue to follow the situation in the Middle East with dismay. Like other regions of the world, it is torn apart by war and violence. We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless victims of these conflicts. What wounds them wounds all of humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God!
I did not campaign for this.
I did not donate money for this.
I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress.
This is heartbreaking and tragic.
And how many more innocent will die?
What about our own military?
This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be.
Shame!
Process arguments fall flat.
If you’re running for Congress, don’t mince words on questions of war and peace.
This is simple.
War will not bring stability, freedom to the Iranian people.
It will bring destruction, chaos, a massive bill and risk to US service members.
Get Mississippi-pilled.
CHS is one of the worst candidates i've ever seen, and her opponent is
1) a talented/dynamic communicator
2) electoral overperformer
AND
3) raising the dough.
Mississippi was within a few points for gov a few years ago; this race IS winnable in 26.
Kudos to Sen. Wicker for calling out this racist and hateful content. This simply DOES NOT represent Mississippi values.
For the love of the people of your state, just once, Sen. Hyde-Smith stand up for us and denounce this!
Trump likes distracting the thinking people by doing really over-the-top offensive stuff like the video of former President and First Lady Obama. Ask where he doesn’t want you to look today. Epstein? DHS? Voting rights?
Yes, Michael Guest recently held a hearing complaining that the Trump administration isn't spending enough money fast enough buying products sold by Guest's donors.
They are seizing ballots.
Raiding homes without warrants.
Gunning Americans down in the street.
Every alarm bell is blaring. The question is: Will we listen?
“People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”
-James Baldwin
Don’t know why this isn’t national news. Along with our Governor whose response is at least we don’t have Antifa and a Senator up for reelection who supported FEMA cuts. Congressman on site and on task. Need ice out in MS. https://t.co/wDIdjWlZ1D
The Governor of Minnesota is doing his job working to protect the people of his state. The Governor of Mississippi? Well, not so much. A Trump-like effort to distract from his failure to protect people from freezing to death. MN does that.
Gov. Tate Reeves said Mississippians impacted by a winter storm should be "grateful" they are not experiencing Minnesota's protests.
