Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Putin’s illegal, unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine has killed countless civilians and devastated an entire nation. Buying Russian diesel while Russia continues its war sends exactly the wrong message. The United States should be isolating the Kremlin, not helping finance its aggression.

When the government turns punishment into a public spectacle, it's worth asking why. Intimidation? Desensitization? Political theater? Whatever the answer, this is being done with the full support of the president. Pay attention.
