I am 100% in support of this heuristic. If you have EVER voted for Donald Trump, and/or if you approve of the job he's done as president, then please vote for Michele Tafoya. I'm confident she will work tirelessly to support his agenda.

If you're completely "in line" with Donald Trump and his campaign to strip away abortion rights from millions of women, then you definitely aren't pro-choice.

'I’m A Pro-Choice Republican,' Says Minnesota Senate Nominee Who Backs Abortion Bans

Michele Tafoya, who called herself a “first trimester gal” and hailed Roe v. Wade’s demise, seems to be gaslighting voters on her abortion stance.

Trump dispatched liars and sadists to disparage and ruin the careers of dedicated public servants. That is a core of his legacy, and of the GOP, which for decades denigrated federal civil servants, laying the groundwork for hate, and then stood by as all of these outrages unfolded before our eyes.

If and when Dems are able to take back power, I cannot tell you how much any question about the debt or deficit needs to be met with loud mockery and extreme derision. Just an aggressive, ‘Oh NOW you care about the debt? GTFOH.’ Over and over and over again.

Of course, anyone with two brain cells to rub together understands that if Putin REALLY wanted the war to end, he would end it by --- withdrawing from Ukraine and ceasing all attacks. And, SINCE THAT AIN'T HAPPENING, we are forced to conclude that Putin does not really want the war to end.

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."
