So as far as I’m concerned Republicans can cheerlead blue collar jobs when they’re willing to raise wages significantly and provide people with physically destructive jobs with healthcare and safety net when they can’t do it anymore

Or that many blue collar jobs are physically destructive and if you want to support blue collar work you don’t tie healthcare to employment (many blue collar tradespeople are independent contractors)

KRISTOL: The Trump administration is well aware of Ukraine’s need for air defense, and they haven’t done much yet to help. They’ve also bottled up Russia sanctions bill in Congress. Trump isn’t on Ukraine’s side, it’s just terrible. Our allies have totally lost confidence in us.
