The most modern source of common the US and Europe share the 20-something "senior advisor" at State lists is Aquinas. No Locke, no Montesquieu, Hume, or Voltaire, the sources of the US constitution. The US's civlisational allies are literally Medieval 1/2 statedept.substack.com/p/the-need-f...

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.
