Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he's unfit to be commander in chief"

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud — the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

I’ve only met a few of the Epstein survivors but the ones I’ve talked to are amazingly strong. The thing that they’ve said to me, the thing that I’ve not seen reported though I’m sure someone has reported it somewhere is that they face a ton of harassment from people online.
