Make no mistake, this was performative.
Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

Hey remember when Republicans refused Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination for like a full YEAR but later rushed thru a SCOTUS appointment 3 weeks before an election?
If the Democrats had been even marginally effective Trump would be in jail AND we’d have SCOTUS.
Some of y’all need reminding

You’ll see how seriously Americans take the words “freedom” & “liberty” by how they think trans folks should be made to live.
And you’ll see how seriously they oppose “big govt” when said govt comes btw a family & their Dr.
They don't care abt the kids.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

This is a coup.
We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
