Political violence has no place in America. Full stop. Elected officials on both sides should strongly condemn this Passover assassination attempt on Gov. Shapiro and his family. Of course, Trump is BIG MAD at 60 Minutes but seemingly quiet about a Democratic Jewish-American under attack.

Trump's moves are already imposing immense costs on the United States and on the world via lost scientific progress on preventing Alzheimer's, curing cancer, etc.

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.

Chaos is the cheapest ingredient in a revolution. It takes zero effort to destroy things. To sabatoge, throw a temper tantrum, & burn it all down. Chaos agents are weak & have too vapid of an ideology to build a functional system. Revolutionaries who come only with chaos, come with nothing.

Samantha Powers of US AID and Marco Rubio have a history together, appears related to the perception that Powers had a pro-Palestinian stance. Couple that with what Trump is saying about Gaza… https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/samantha-powers-testimony-confirms-foreign-policy-orthodoxy/
