This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

What's at issue is the government’s decision to use one of the most intrusive investigative tools available—executing a search warrant at a journalist’s home—where the reporter is not accused of wrongdoing
That choice changes the equation entirely.

The FBI raiding a Washington Post reporter’s home is an extraordinary escalation. It sets a precedent that should concern anyone who cares about truth, accountability, and a free press.
