The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

#GOPTariffs creates uncertainty, chaos and lack of trust for everyone involved.
All of this was avoidable, but our federal delegation, including my rep, Bacon, lacked the courage to uphold Congress's authority with their votes back in March. 👇 #NE02 #NESen
