I’m a Republican. I supported Trump. I raised money for him, I voted for him. I donated $60,000 to his campaign.
Trump lied. He rugpulled us all. I didn’t vote for Lindsey Graham / America Second policies.
You can disagree with me if you want. It’s your right to be fooled. But if you say I have “TDS” or am a “liberal” you need a new argument. There are millions of conservatives and members of the now torched “broad coalition” just like me.
The only ones left supporting him are MAGA always Trumpers who place the man above the policies and our country.

@nicksortor So call an official recess. You don't need votes for that. Stop pretending. @LeaderJohnThune

🚨 BREAKING: John Thune is REFUSING to call back the Senate from their 2 week vacation in order to get DHS funded, saying it’d just be a “show vote”
No, the show vote was you passing a bad bill at 3am just so you could go home.
GET BACK TO DC AND WORK!

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel says its soldiers won't join any U.S. ground operation in Iran...
Channel 12 reports the IDF is sitting this one out if boots hit the ground.
Israel will reportedly keep bombing from the air but won't send troops 1,000 miles into Iranian territory.
The logic is straightforward.
Israel doesn't have the logistics to sustain ground forces that far from home.
So the country that pressured the U.S. into this war, that struck South Pars without permission, that keeps bombing through peace talks, and whose intelligence helped justify the entire operation, won't be sending a single soldier if the mission gets dangerous enough to require ground troops.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Why Israeli air defenses keep failing against Iranian missiles... Three layers. Iron Dome for rockets. David's Sling for missiles. Arrow for ballistic threats in space. Sounds impenetrable until Iran's glide vehicles start zigzagging mid-flight, confusing every tier simultaneously. Iran spends $200 million on an attack. Israel spends $1 billion defending against it. Five weeks of that math and the interceptors run out before the missiles do. Source: Ai Telly

@BasedMikeLee @DataRepublican But you aren’t recessed as no recess appointments allowed. Call it what it is - you are getting paid for no work. Basically you are an organized crime group.

Waiting for a deal to materialize with Chuck Schumer applies no pressure on Senate Democrats to fund DHS
Interrupting their recess and forcing them to debate DHS funding on the Senate floor *would* apply pressure
We can’t reward unprecedented obstruction with two-week recesses

@shipwreckedcrew How many judges have been approved with the Republican majority in the last year? I will wait.
English
And Chuck Schumer will have 54 seats, and everything will ride on a GOP win in 2028.
There is nothing more STUPID in political terms than the idea that we would be better off in the minority in the Senate with 45 really MAGA GOP Senators rather the 53 GOP Senators.
Lose the Senate in 2026 and there will not be ONE Trump nominated Judge confirmed in his final 2 years. Every opening will be held open by Schumer in hopes of a Dem win in 2028.
How would that make you feel?

Yeap, people need to learn to pick their battles better. Unseat Cornyn with Paxton. Replace Tillis with a better gop senator. Win the MI, OH, and NH open seats. Maybe let collins and murcowski lose. Replace McConnell with an actual republican. Do these things and maybe the caucus will move right.

@shipwreckedcrew Again, I elected two of them and will assume you did also. They are not representing my state. This is why I support the repeal of the 17th amendment.

"We" didn't elect anyone.
They were elected by the voters in their states, and states all have their own priorities in terms of their interests.

@shipwreckedcrew That is statement on the disgusting senators we have elected. Need to primary all of them.

If Israel is going to block Christians from entering holy sites in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday while the U.S. is fighting a war where Israel is far and away the greatest beneficiary, then perhaps the United States should be in charge of access to the holy sites.
Mary Margaret Olohan@MaryMargOlohan
NEW: The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem says Israeli police blocked him from saying Palm Sunday mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today. “As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.” “This incident is a grave precedent, and disregard the sensibilities of billions of people around the world who, during this week, look to Jerusalem.”

If Lee thought he could get 27 votes then Lee would hav already been beating the drum on that. He might not get 10.

@DennyBurk @Heminator Looks like the Finns need to repeal that law and elect better people.

This is appalling. This means I can't preach or distribute books in Finland. If I do, they will arrest me.
Unbelievable that this is happening in the formerly "Christian" West.

Images show what experts say are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran.
Human rights groups have long called to ban land mines because of their propensity to harm or kill civilians, often years after conflicts have ended. wapo.st/41hPU2N

The glee with which these despicable, lying, ratbrained goons endlessly repeat this obvious lie is reprehensible.
Libel laws need to change in the USA. It should be OK to financially ruin someone who commits libel, even against public figures.

@MartinkoLaw @jbinnall @JeffClarkUS Hmm, so no one ever pled guilty even though they were innocent. Interesting. I suspect you believe in climate change also.

My Statement on the Settlement in Flynn v. United States.
General Flynn is an American hero and he and his family should have never been put through this hell. That they had the courage to stand firm and fight back against the extremists in the Mueller investigation should be a testament to the strength of American character. In this agreement, the Justice Department is doing more than simply cutting a check, they are admitting that General Flynn was seriously wronged.

@Landes3Landes @LukeGromen @ggreenwald 🤣🤣🤣 No. Wouldn’t believe them anyway. Don’t trust any government. Lived through too many hoaxes e.g. Y2K, ozone hole, acid rain, climate change, covid, next ice age, 3 mile island, rising sea levels, etc. etc. etc.

@shipwreckedcrew All funds are fungible across all accounts. There is nothing in the Social Security Trust fund except IOUs. Same for all the other trust funds. It has always been a tax on wages to fund all kinds of things. Hence the debt.
English
The it no longer becomes a "contribution" to one's own Social Security "account", it is just a tax on wages to fund a Govt funded social welfare program for the elderly.
That's NOT was SS was designed to be.
Fuck You I Quit@fuckyouiquit
Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.
