Extortion, pure and simple.

Facts....

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

Quid, meet quo.

The weirdness of this age is something I struggle to wrap my mind around. An unelected billionaire giving an address from the Oval Office with his young son named "X" running around? A Georgia Congressman dropping a bill to rename Greenland "Red, White, and Blue Land"? Renaming the Gulf of Mexico?

It's not about lobbyists. It's about the politicians on this platform deciding to neuter DOGE by doing a better version of what DOGE wants to do. Legislatively. The issue isn't the goal of efficiency and savings. That's important. The issue is the process to get there.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

And to think Mitch McConnell and a handful of GOP Senators could have stopped all of this in the days after Jan. 6. Greatest betrayal in American history? They should bury him one day next to Benedict Arnold. Sorry if that's harsh.

One of the great advantages the U.S. has enjoyed is a network of alliances joined, not by force, but by common values. Trump is now ripping those alliances to shreds, and even causing ruptures with our peaceful neighbors next door, 🇲🇽🇨🇦. This is tragic for the U.S., and the world.

Putting the finishing touches on this year’s Christmas tree. Confident in the words of Abraham Lincoln: “This nation is worth fighting for to secure such an inestimable jewel.”

House Republicans, who suffer from severe IQ deficits, have picked the wrong fight here.

This is a GREAT IDEA.
