Dear Democrats: This Nov we need Majorities, NOT Messiahs. So the next time you want to fight over which Democrat isn't Democrat enough remember that this is about addition, not subtraction, adding seats, not eliminating any seat that isn't pure enough

He was gloating that he's not only the one who convinced Trump to invade everywhere, but also that he taught Netanyahu how to manipulate Trump

In MAGA world you can lie, cheat, steal, rape children, murder citizens, torture immigrants, bang everyone, etc

...but never, NEVER be bigger than Trump

From obliterated to 11 nuclear bombs in < 6 months?

That's 🐴 πŸ’©

And that's not even close to the most noteworthy thing about Graham's media blitz

1st, he had a list of multiple other countries we're supposedly about to invade

But in the process of doing that he committed the cardinal sin...

The Long-Feared Persian Gulf Oil Squeeze Is Upon Us Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.

He also said that a β€œlarge tanker” went through the Strait of Hormuz β€œabout 24 hours ago.” He did not identify the tanker, and a spokesman for the Department of Energy did not respond to requests for more details on the ship.

A small tanker apparently carrying fuel oil went through the strait in the last 24 hours, said Dimitris Ampatzidis, a senior risk and compliance analyst at Kpler, a global ship tracking firm. Its transponder, a device that transmits a ship’s location, was on, which is why it could be tracked. Vessels sometimes turn off their transponders to avoid being spotted in the strait.

Mr. Ampatzidis said the vessel, the Parimal, appeared to have connections to Iran.

β€œI don’t believe this vessel can be used as an indication that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is returning to normal,” he said.

This confirmation that Energy Sec Chris Wright was boasting that IRAN was able to get a tanker thru the Strait raises an interesting possibility: That China resume shipping oil, but no one else can.

refineries to get back to normal operations, but there's a secondary impact on prices

Even if there's regional peace tomorrow, the new real threat of pre-emptive strikes & potential terrorism have drastically inflated the cost of maritime insurance for the foreseeable future...raising oil prices

Anyone with the most basic understanding of global markets understood that threatening 20% of the world's oil supply would instantly spike prices &hurt all financial markets

The problem is you can't turn off the damage. Even if the Strait re-opened TODAY it will take wks for global supply chains &

Riiiight, toughen up

Here's the problem:

Every tanker traveling through that Strait has $100-200MILLION in cargo & carries maritime insurance as not to bankrupt the entire company should something happen. The insurers are also insured

What do you think just happened to the price of insurance πŸ€”

That's why I think people are excited about Talarico's campaign in Texas. FINALLY a Democrat who isn't just making casual mentions of their hypocrisy but going all in on challenging their bastardization of Christianity into a weapon rather than the call to service that the Bible defines it as

Off FFS,

He beat her because she had no campaign infrastructure, ran both ads til the las week of the campaign, fired her comments director & media team insisting she personally was better than all of them

The black democrats in the party who supported her are the 1st people saying it

Literal nazis are marching through our streets & you want to defame a fellow Democrat who is dismantling the religious messaging of white nationalists because he ran a better campaign than her

You want to help facists? Own facism

Her closing arguments were insinuating there was a secret plot by Colbert &GOP to help Talarico by ending Colbert's show &threatening his lawyers, the unverified claims of an "influencer" about Allred, &stating she's a victim being silenced

She ran a weak campaign

Her own backers knew it

Anyone is free to post any of her speeches talking about her Christian faith as a basis for her progressive views at any time & people will happily comment on them

Don't be mad at the guy who beat her fairly & handily with a decisive margin for getting attention in what's now a general election

Also, I never hear people use this line to denigrate MLK or Raphael Warnock, or other men of principle who are also men of faith

Republicans are claiming Trump was sent by God...he's challenging that bullshit narrative by using Christianity & TBH it's about damn time

He's not legislating fairy tales

He's explaining why his beliefs are the basis for his progressive views & exposing Republican charlatans bastardizing religion as a means of consolidation of power & wealth as the antithesis of everything Christianity teaches to break their stranglehold on America

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
