He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.
He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

Great to have Rep. Grijalva as the newest member of the Democratic Caucus! The people of AZ-07 have a voice again in the House.
It shouldn’t have taken Speaker Johnson seven shameful weeks to swear her in so he could stall a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.
If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.

It should be a basic minimum requirement of political leadership that you be an effective and persuasive communicator in the current era, able to tour the country to support your candidates and policies in public forums with real people. If you can’t do that, you aren’t a leader.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣
