@TheBondGuy2 How about we charge companies for H-1B visas and use the proceeds for scholarships in STEM fields so that Americans can get up to speed for these positions.

Unsurprisingly, Paxton’s gonna win. Looks like taking a selfie reading “Art of the Deal” and committing to nuking the filibuster weren’t debasing enough to ingratiate Cornyn to his new MAGA overlords. Trump voters wanted the real deal corrupt, lawbreaking candidate.

@SarahLongwell25 Have you guys given any thought to the fact that voters - Dems and GOP/MAGA - just want politicians that get things done - or seem to. They don't care about whether they break the law. Maybe they think breaking the law is necessary to get anything done!

Given Paxton's cheating on his wife, indictments and letting off a pedophile, how do People who call themselves Christian vote for him over a seminarian? Honest question. A vote for Paxton is making faith a lie.

@ianbremmer @JackPosobiec The Marshall Plan.

@JackPosobiec probably the camp david accords. good friday agreement, inf treaty, german reunification right up there.

The greatest foreign policy deal in our lifetime

This is a really big deal. Every state needs to do this.

It’s the job of the states to protect their residents from the interference with their rights by the Trump regime. We can do this!

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

@allenanalysis The refunds are not going to importers. They’re going to Howard lutnick because he bought the rights to a refund when the tariffs were put in place from the importers for cents on the dollar.

@Jeremy45023243 @RepJackKimble Why should lawmakers earn less than first year associates at major us law firms?

@RepJackKimble $175k a year isn’t enough!!!! We need more!!!

I don’t have a wife to help support me and my father may not die for years. How am I supposed to support myself if you take away my stock trading?

The imbecility present within this regime is truly breathtaking. That stupidity could not be more on display with Wun Dum Fuc currently visiting the country that he has now handed the golden keys for FREE! As a result, China is now the only nation on earth that can provide the solution to renewable energy at scale. Given the world is now seeking insulation from fossil fuel shocks like we are suffering today, can you imagine the economic upside this provides to China? This is the same upside Biden wanted to capitalise on, and Trump has thrown in the trash in service of his fossil fuel buddies. It will not end well. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRGfJDaF/

George Conway on Trump: “He invites people to feel as if they are superior by hating on other people. He has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country”

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

@thejackhopkins Haven't seen a big uproar over North Korea having one. We should worry more about a vulnerable South Korea and Japan than mideast potentates.

The average American doesn’t give a shit about Iran having a nuclear weapon.  That’s just not what they’re thinking about.

Even this isn't correct. Enlisted people take an oath to Constitution - first - and also to obey the orders of the President and officers.

@AKBrews Two dumbs don't make a smart!

No matter what dumb thing you did today, it probably wasn't this dumb

@bennyjohnson You lie so much it’s sickening. Obama at the airport in Beijing, November 10, 2014

AOC: What is extremely disturbing about what has happened in Virginia is this court overturned the will of three million Virginians. They can say what they want about the ballot initiative, but they explicitly chose to issue this ruling after the election happened. They had all the time in the world to issue an opinion or an injunction before allowing this election to happen. They did not overturn a map—they overturned an election. It is the power of the American people that should be the ultimate check on all three branches. The court’s ability to overturn an election that was clear in its result should be something that is called into question.

❗️During NATO exercises to defend the Swedish island of Gotland from a simulated “Russian attack,” Ukrainian drone operators completely crushed the Swedish forces. The Swedes halted the drills three times to rethink their tactics. Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, General Michael Claesson, stated that all NATO armies must urgently learn how to fight with drones directly from the Ukrainians.

Are you kidding? None of this was authorized by Congress. Trump personally hired a company in a no bid contract and didn’t get any approval to turn it blue. Why are you even in DC if you aren’t going to even pretend to do your job? You are supposed to represent your constituents and ask questions. Provide oversight. You’re just another doormat.
