A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics.
There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game.
Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.

Stewart & Favreau say Dems can’t just say they’re not as corrupt— they have to show 🇺🇸 they’d to make real changes to a corrupt system, and prove taxing A.I. billionaires (as @timmiller.bsky.social wants to) will lead to tangible programs for regular folks.

And why do I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul, ffs?
And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
