When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Trump is the biggest RINO of all. He won't sign the Housing Bill, & wants to end the filibuster. Thune knows that Democrats could use the simple majority to ram through progressive ideas. Trump doesn't care about the future. HE NEVER HAS TO FACE THE VOTERS AGAIN.
This week alone:
DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.
The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.
The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
Trump used to be a Democrat who contributed to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Harry Reed. Now he calls himself a Republican, but he’s actually a party of one: Donald Trump.
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
If a Democratic president had bumblefucked his way into a war with Iran and sent gas prices higher than a Musk rocket, the Republicans would be screaming for impeachment.
When Trump leaves office:
The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.
The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.
The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.
The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.
Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.
U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.
And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.
WOW!!! JUST GOT A CALL FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE (TOP LEVEL) THAT DONALD TRUMP IS FURIOUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD) HAVE COMPLETELY “HIJACKED” THE NEWS ON HIS “BIG SPEECH DAY” WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. FOX NEWS IS WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE OF ME AND MY “ROAD SHOW.” MY RATINGS ARE THROUGH THE ROOF! MUCH BETTER THAN DOZY’S. PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THAT I SHOULD DELIVER THE SPEECH INSTEAD OF TRUMP’S “STATE OF THE SNOOZE.” I WOULD CRUSH IT. EVEN WITH DYSLEXIA. ESPECIALLY WITH DYSLEXIA! UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, I DON’T NEED THE TELEPROMPTER (VERY ADVANCED SKILL, VERY RARE). I MEMORIZE. IT’S CALLED PREPARATION. LOOK IT UP, DON! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! —GOVERNOR GCN
🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.
That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.
Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
BREAKING: It's now being reported that Trump's federal agents at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas are raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children.
This happened after Pro-Republica published multiple letters from the children, like the one below from Ariana V.
What ever happened to Free Speech? This is like 1930s Germany!
I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.
I served for 22-years in the Army. I did four combat tours across Desert Storm and Iraq. Hearing this brutish fool refer to the streets of the United States being “in theater” like it’s a combat deployment and not protecting and serving the public is disgusting. This is a war zone because these masked agents, armed to the teeth, scooping up moms and toddlers in the school pick up line made it a combat zone…period. This is their failure. Congress needs to do their damn jobs.
BREAKING: A video has leaked from an immigration detention center believed to be at 31 Hopkins Plaza, in Baltimore Maryland where legal immigrants are not even allowed to bath for over 10 days.
The person speaking Spanish is saying the following:
"Look at how they have us here. Look at how immigration is treating us. There are people here who are legal, there are people who are not legal, there are people who are losing their families. They are kidnapping us. They have us in a warehouse here in Baltimore. They beat us, they beat an older man. We can’t take it anymore. They have kept us here for more than 10 days without bathing and enduring hunger.”
It was a White woman not Somali people that were behind the biggest fraud case in Minnesota and it was actually the Somali people that came forward about it happening! 👇👇👇
