You're not picking the best ultimate fighter. You need somebody who knows how to use tech, drones, and counter-drone capability. When you narrow that down to just people who fit some sort of John Wayne vision, that is going to harm our military capability. - @adamsmith.house.gov on @cnn.com

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
