Hey... Did you get a load of the shithead he installed in 🇩🇰 as ambassador? Fucken YIKES and he's definitely already under surveillance by PET. I imagine he sent equally as bad to 🇸🇪 and 🇳🇴. Probably the Baltics and 🇫🇮 got some really shitty people as well.

Sen. Murray has a great point.
"If Republicans had no problems with Trump shoveling nearly twice as much money at Argentina, why would they oppose giving this kind of support to our own American families?"

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

I'm twice as excited about his win now. He will have fierce headwinds, but is hiring an A-team.

They shouldn’t have to work without pay 😡 but this is the true definition of public servants. Hope the public remembers how much they do to keep the world running for us.
This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay.
📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

“When we fight we win” maybe not right away or in obvious ways but history shows us fascists always lose! 🌅
Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."
Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.
