What a disappointment. As an old friend used to say, alligator mouth, tadpole ass. The guy likes to talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, he can’t hold the oligarchy in check. He will not fight for everybody & is NOT the person to lead in 2028.  youtu.be/wkxyQ0adxhc?...

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA.

Yale researchers matched actual voter files to death records in Florida and Ohio. Once vaccines became available, excess deaths among Republican-registered voters ran 43 percent higher than among Democrats, a gap that barely existed before the shots.
BROWN UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS FOUND:
Nearly 319,000 COVID Deaths Were Preventable.
The Reddest Counties Buried the Most.
COVID death rate once every adult could get a free shot (May 2021 on)
2.26x death rate
1x death rate
Counties 60%+ Biden
Counties 60%+ Trump
"How you vote should not predict whether you die of COVID."
Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo, Brown University School of Public Health
Brown's analysis covers 2021 into 2022, as free vaccines reached every American adult. West Virginia alone lost 3,350 people in that window, 6l percent of its COVID deaths.
Republican politicians and right-wing media turned a free, lifesaving vaccine into a loyalty test.
