Probably most. The GOP has prevailed by dumbing down their message to a series of buzzwords that their voters can recognize w/o having to think or understand issues. Obamacare is one; some others: woke, trans, antifa, radical-left. The party thinks its followers are stupid, so it uses them as tools.
This has to be one of the most revealing, and at the same time most intriguing, things in the #Epsteinfiles. It speaks volumes about Trump's attitude toward women. Gotta wonder if the woman in the picture had any idea how it was going to be used.
FROM THE FILES: Epstein is photographed holding a large check bearing Trump’s signature with his arm around an unidentified female. The check appears to be the same one shown in Epstein’s bday book, where a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joked about Epstein selling a “fully depreciated” woman to Trump.

I guess any moment now our so-called #POTUS will ban travelers from Portugal because the killer was reportedly a Portuguese national.
The Trump administration halted the US green card lottery program, which it said was used by the suspect in the Brown University shooting and killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor.

To hear Trump tell it, you'd think refugees are a drain on the American economy. Fun fact from the @WSJ: Between 2005 and 2019, refugees used $724 billion in aid including Medicare, food stamps, & SSI, but during that period, they PAID $16 billon MORE--totaling $739 billion--in taxes.

Not just "continue to be," they take it to a whole new level! One man quoted in the article said he wants people he and his date "pass on the street to say that we go well together." Life is not Instagram-ready performance art, people! (No wonder marriage rates are dropping.)

This deported Veteran is a close friend of mine. My heart aches for him and his family. He is a hero, who needed assistance and tolerance from the country he served. He was awarded a Purple Heart Medal after being shot twice. They chose to punish him. It’s shameful. Sae Joon Park is a hero.

How about deporting the immigrants who were waiting at Faneuil Hall to take the Oath of Allegiance as US citizens? If that's not illegal, it ought to be.

Who was it that said never underestimate the ability of citizens to vote against their own best interests?
Republicans in Congress are on a path to letting enhanced ObamaCare subsidies expire at the end of the year, a result that could amount to a dismissal — or, depending on your perspective, a betrayal — of the MAGA populism that was ascendant in the party.

This. Is. An. Outrage. I hope someone will publish their names and the states where they live so honest and welcoming Americans can demand that their Senators and Representatives pressure the gov't to right this wrong and give them the citizenship they've earned.
These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

Good. Hoping it prompts many questions that can only be answered with further releases from the #Epstein files and estate.
A federal judge ordered the release of grand-jury transcripts from the Justice Department’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in Florida, citing a new law mandating that files be made public.

Because maybe under Trump 2.0, the gov't doesn't care if Native Americans die of illnesses that vaccines can prevent. If all our Native American neighbors die off, just think what the gov't will save by eliminating the Indian Health Service. (Is this on #StephenMiller's holiday wish list?)
The Indian Health Service has placed new restrictions on how staff can speak publicly about vaccines, flagging words like “immunizations” and “vaccines,” according to internal emails reviewed by ProPublica.

A modest suggestion: Everybody, screenshot his post. Change "Thanksgiving" to "Christmas." Print them as your Christmas card & send it to each of your Republican friends. So far, they haven't been getting the message. With this in their faces, maybe they'll begin to see and find it unacceptable.
Donald Trump finally posts a Thanksgiving message — and uses it to call Governor Tim Walz “seriously retarded.”
