Has a single “journalist” in mainstream media asked Trump, Mike Johnson or John Thune why they haven’t used their Senate majority to override the 60 vote threshold and reopen the government?

I don’t know enough about the primary field to know if Turek is the best candidate, but holy hell, what an ad, what a story, and what a contrast to the odious “we’re all going to die” Joni Ernst.
I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Pretty sure deploying federal troops and agents on the streets of Washington DC is in preparation for the likely uprising against this corrupt, lying, deranged oligarchic presidency. What are we going to do? I’m 81 and I can be there by Thursday. Let’s give him the insurrection!

Two thoughts about habit, discipline and motivation:
1. Decide to do the thing you want to be habitual, and close the discussion. Don’t let yourself revisit the decision. Then do the thing.
2. Keep doing the thing at the same time every until you don’t have to make a decision about it.

So moved by the international support!
These are some of the countries holding events under the 'No Tyrants' banner to reject authoritarianism and show solidarity with the US - based 'No Kings' movement.
