It’s not “potentially divisive“ if you happen to like Nazis.
BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard just announced they won’t classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols anymore they’re calling them ‘potentially divisive.’ Potentially divisive? Listen, a noose isn’t a conversation starter. A swastika isn’t a debate topic. They are dangerous hate symbols. Full stop

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats.
No death threats.
It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.
Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

Update: this is no longer included in the final funding deal. I'm going to keep fighting to lower premiums and ensure Republicans can’t get away with a backdoor national abortion ban.
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

NOT extending ACA subsidies will ALSO cause state economies to PLUMMET $41B.
339,100 jobs will be LOST due to health care providers being FORCED to reduce their workforces. 50% of job LOSSES will be health care–related & HIGHER in states where MORE residents are enrolled in an ACA marketplace plan.

Ironically, gun sales drop when Republicans are elected as President.
Gun sales are down more than 35 percent from a record high in 2020, when pandemic lockdowns and widespread social unrest drove unprecedented crowds to stores.
Retailers worry the president’s gun-friendly policies will continue to hurt sales.

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.
Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.
Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

I can say, I never imagined the GOP would go along with eviscerating the first amendment’s freedom of speech. Sadly I’m not confused why… it about power and not principle.
