Why can’t we use thoughts and prayers on the border?

#MagaMike Johnson needs to explain to the American people why he does not want to let lawmakers vote on a new bill on #Ukraine aid.

please boost 🙏🏻

#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

This is by far the most embarrassing interview with a US politician I have seen in a long time. Mike Johnson has been screaming for new border legislation for months, and now — because Trump wants everything to fail — he suddenly claims, legislation is not required, because Biden can solve the border crisis using a magic wand and a pinch of fairy dust.

This is not politics. This is sabotage. Plain and simple.

It amazes—and alarms—me how much hatred some people express toward Joe Biden. You can disagree with his politics and worldview, but any normal person paying attention can grasp his empathy and decency. That hate is the outgrowth of propaganda.

It's not hard to imagine aligned and emboldened perpetrators engage in #ethnicCleansing all over the world if #US is in the grips of #ChristoFascist #FarRight, with a malleable character like #Trump as its #DearLeader.

This is why US #Election2024 is a #WorldSecurity issue

“We can say without question that this administration has been fighting for the people, rather than against the people," says Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and the opposite is ‘what we will get if we end up with another Trump presidency." #Velshi

Ironically, Ben-Gvir is directly refuting the #GenocideJoe narrative by complaining about the fact that Biden is holding Netanyahu back.

So while he's obviously anti-Biden, he's refuting a standard anti-Biden talking point.

Now #Israel's #BenGvir joins the pantheon of Biden haters

"Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who supports #Palestinian ethnic cleansing, said that #Trump would allow more freedom"

By peeling voters away from Biden, #Tlaib will re-elect Trump & be responsible for any #ethnicCleansing of her #Arab #Muslim #Brothers & #Sisters

People have a right to their opinion.
You also have the right to ignore it.

Even more interestingly, I searched on Twitter for a #Russian language phrase meaning “Free Texas” — a phrase that is associated with a secessionist movement and was used extensively & almost exclusively by Internet Research Agency accounts — and found more tweets using it in 3 days last week than in the past 3 years combined.

The U.S. and its Western allies once had some bargaining power with Iran. But without the 2015 Nuclear Deal, America is now fighting for a seat at the table #Velshi

"....Trump has smeared E. Jean Carroll, Hillary Clinton, Judge Chutkan, and every other woman who has ever stood in the way of something he thought life owed him. That the list of women he's treated as not quite human should range from Hillary to Taylor to E. Jean is not a stretch. There are many things desperately mentally wrong with Dementia J. Trump but his virulent antipathy towards women - and the misogynistic cancer he has spread within his cult - is as bad as anything else."
