This guy was convicted of smuggling nearly a million pounds of cocaine. And President Trump is going to let him out of jail scot-free? C’mon.
So much for tough on drugs. This is an embarrassment to our rule of law, and Wisconsinites need some answers.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

What a joke
Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

I'm not pro-abortion generally but I would rather lower the abortion rate by providing healthcare and resources to people instead of laws. Making it illegal causes its own set of problems. Healthcare is not black and white.
Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

This is striking and legitimately concerning. The president could use this to prosecute any progressive activity with the burden being on those prosecuted to prove in court that this designation isn't actually legal.

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

You'd think a senator who has served way too long would understand the difference between government and businesses.
Ron Johnson: "In the private sector, when a company is bankrupt - and let's face it, our nation is bankrupt - employees are laid off & they have to go find jobs elsewhere. Which quite honestly shouldn't be that difficult if federal workers lose some jobs. In Wisconsin, you can't find enough workers"
