For no particular reason I’m reminded of something I learned about in college many years ago. The recipe for creating a terrorist is to have someone middle class and above feel they have been unfairly denied something they earned. Good thing that’s not happening.

Helping a sovereign democracy in Europe defend its lands and freedoms from murderous war criminal Putin, is in US interest and that of our allies. Ukrainians are doing the fighting & the dying Helping them is strategically and morally right & should never be transactional.

For the record, I agree that Elon Musk is a dick. Ed Martin also seems like a dick. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield the floor.

The saddest thing about the MAGA voters getting screwed by MAGA is when they post online thinking that Trump and Elon Musk would care enough to read and react to their personal pleas to be made exempt from the policies they voted for. Anyway let's see how Grimes is doing

Senate Republicans are gearing up for phase one of their plan to sell out working families’ health care to give tax breaks to billionaires. Democrats are going to be loud about how devastating this will be for people across the country—and so should you.

I’m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. He’s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says he’s the final authority on all laws isn’t a goddamn distraction.
