Dude. He has literally declared war on us. What are you doing?
For the good of the country, Republican leaders need to start engaging in basic bipartisanship to end the Republican-created health care cost crisis and the widespread misery of this Trump shutdown.

When you accidentally CC the entire country
There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization.

Honestly surprised to learn that Tom Lehrer just passed but this is the song of his that feels appropriate to the moment. In the pantheon of satirists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

This reminds me of when some budget airline bought the Pan Am trademark out of bankruptcy
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

Let facts be withheld from an ignorant world
"This is a hostile and political action by Amazon," White House press secretary Katherine Leavitt says of the e-commerce giant's plan to display how much of an item's cost is derived from Trump tariffs. She adds it's not a surprise because "Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm."
