Gen X, Long Term Republican before Trump #NeverTrump #BlueRev


WHEN DID WE BECOME THE LEFT? “When I was going through my hell, only two elected members of congress took my phone call- @mtgreenee and @laurenboebert. MTG visited J6ers in prison, was the only congressperson to sponsor the Matthew Perna Bill- named after the J6er who committed suicide, and she prayed with me while the media took pictures of us and mocked us. Now a directive has gone out that she’s a traitor- and if you want to be in the in crowd, you must hate her, too. When did we become tribal, mean, and hive-minded?”






It’s cannot be understated how unfathomably cooked we are if we can’t even get basic voter ID laws passed in this country.







BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

In the 3 p.m. vote series today, there is a vote on S 3971, a Senate bill from Joni Ernst. The Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act. Remember: Republicans who have been angry about the Senate handling of the SAVE America Act have said they will vote against Senate bills. This bill passed by voice vote in the Senate. Needs 2/3 of the House for passage.


After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
