๐News this morning that Trump will use our military -- a military he was too weak and cowardly to serve in -- to go after drug dealers proves yet again he will will deploy our troops everywhere ... except to protect from attacks on our country that he provoked.
He's a sniveling, anti-American loser.
It is interesting that GOP is so worried about losing the House they are willing to go nuclear on mid-decade gerrymandering but aren't willing to consider the alternative of maybe shifting away from policies that are deeply unpopular.

"The idea that politics has become so personalized...that the only way you can affect or change policy is by offering a valuable gift to the leader, pretty much contradicts everything that the founders intended."

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.
Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country.
But letโs be clearโ#PurpleHeartDay canโt just be symbolic. If youโre not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, youโre not really honoring them.
Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.
One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatmentsโand in turn, more investor interest"

Trump and Putin did the same with Afghanistan (Doha deal, 2020).
Trump/Pompeo abandoned 40 million Afghans to the Taliban.
Rubio would play Pompeo's role this time.
