@repglatimer.bsky.social Thank you for standing up in support of the only multi-cultural democracy in the Middle East, so that it can protect itself from extermination and the creation of an Islamic theocracy in its place. 1/2

Pretty sure you don’t need to quote ethics experts to say the $1.8bn slush fund is corrupt.

Antisemitism is so resurgent in U.S. politics that some of the worst hate speech you've ever heard has become a part of day-to-day life for Jewish politicians.

Jewish lawmakers face an explosion of antisemitism
The hate is direct, explicit and shockingly casual.

Some folks see “Free Palestine” and see statehood and coexistence with Israel. But others see war, extermination and an Islamic theocracy. The former want peace. The latter want death. People should be clear: Is it war or peace that they seek?

Trump has asked for the suspension of the $.18 gas tax. Four things Democrats should do: 1. Agree to suspend with a mandated sunset provision of 30-60 days. 2. Require the money be replaced by raising taxes on very high income earners/corporations. 1/2

What do Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran stand for? Resistance. Resistance to democracy. Resistance to freedom. Their founding principles are the creation of theocracies. Which are the opposite of freedom. The opposite of democracy. Did you think this was about Israel? 1/2

In argument on the birthright citizen case, SG Sauer argues on behalf of Trump that it is a new world now, different from when the 14th Am was passed. OK, let's talk about guns.

Everyone going to the airports is mad. And they will see ICE. And they know ICE is the reason. And they will tell all their friends about their experiences. And both Democrats and Republicans will be affected.

Eric Turkewitz @ericturkewitz.bsky.social · 22/03/2026
So there are mammoth lines at airports because the Republicans want to fund #ICE. So Trump is going to put ICE at #airports. To remind angry travelers that ICE is the reason for the long delays? This will not go well.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
