It was perhaps fitting that Munich was the site of the Trump Administration’s dramatic appeasement of the Kremlin dictator, when the Vice President attacked our western allies, and the Defense Secretary weakened our NATO alliance. 🧵

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
