To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Mark Kelly: "My concern is with the service members -- we're gonna put these individuals in a really tough place. They may find our down the road that they did something that's illegal. It's not fair to them. That's why need presidents and secretaries of defense who understand the Constitution"

In the competition for Most Stupid Senator, Markwayne Mullin keeps Tommy Tuberville on his toes.
Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."

Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"

Sen. Mullin: "No…Why do we care if we take them out in international water?"

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

If we'd adopted Alina's approach in 1980, she'd have been reared in Baghdad.

She is mindful of that, even as she says this⬇️. She simply has no conscience.

Ghouls. They're ghouls.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

If my salary tethering law -- whereby the top-earning employee of any company of 50+ emplyees engaged in interstate commerce couldn't make (in salary, bonus, deferred pay, stock options...) > 50x the lowest-earning F/T emplyee -- were enacted today, 90% of workers would see an immed pay increase.

Ex Honduran prez Hernandez wanted to "shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos"

Plotted to send as much cocaine as possible into the US.

It's because of Hernandez that Honduras became one of the largest trans-shipment points in the world for US-bound cocaine.

Trump pardons
🧵Former Honduran President Hernandez was convicted in April 2022.

But the investigation/prosecution began during Trump's first term and concluded under Biden.

Just read some of the standouts from the indictment below to know what a corrupt narco thug Hernandez is.

This is who Trump is pardoning.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.

This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

Medicare for all.
