Vance's model immigrant Elon Musk has sucked up more taxpayer-funded largesse than entire generations of asylum seekers combined, interfered with government policy, bought elections, and perpetrated a decade-long crime spree... he's literally the only immigrant we can't afford more of!

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

How many people on here remember that Tom Barrack (now Trump's Ambassador to Turkey) was prosecuted (but acquitted) for being an agent of Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who has since played a key role in Trump's crypto corruption?

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.
