But that doesn’t mean
you should be an

POLITICAL ASSIGNATIONS
ARE NOT AMERICAN VALUES

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BEEF IS

MAGA SENATOR MIKE LEE

YOU

What we're seeing is a resurrection & expansion of a colonial system of governance, one shaped by hierarchies of race & space to advance a system of plunder & power.
🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror.

After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers.

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

Political violence in all forms is anathema to democracy. Threats against elected officials have been on the rise, as we found in our study of local and state officeholders last year. The trend must be reversed.
Intimidation of State and Local Officeholders
Left unchecked, abuse harms not only elected officials but also the public they serve.

The CEO of SRM Entertainment and former CEO of Safety Shot have an interesting past - in the 1990s they worked at Stratton Oakmont, a firm where several other execs went to prison for fraudulent stock schemes - the story was the subject of the movie Wolf of Wall Street

Donald Trump can't even get Melania to live in the White House

And you think he's capable of negotiating lasting trade deals & peace?

The ghost writer for Art of the Deal made it clear, Trump has no game. His legislative record reflects that. That's why he leans on illegal EOs
