It's always about the threats. It can't be a day too soon when this awful regime is finally in the rear-view mirror.
Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Texas families cannot afford Cornyn’s reckless policies.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Alligator Alcatraz, Dollar Dive, and the Porky Pig Party
As the Senate burns, Trump hawks cologne, Musk throws tantrums, and the dollar falls to 1970s lows, welcome to the empire’s late-stage spectacle.
