Republicans: GAS PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING!

Ok, so you’ll support clean energy?

Republicans: No

Remote work so people don’t have to commute as much?

Republicans: No

More funding for mass transit?

Republicans: No

Higher taxes on the salaries of oil CEO’s?

Republicans: No
How about higher wages for working class Americans so they can afford the price increase?

Republicans: No

How about pressuring American oil companies to increase the supply instead of deliberately slow-walking it while raising prices to increase profits?

Republicans: No
Affordable healthcare so people have more money to spend on gas?

Republicans: No

Lower prescription drug costs?

Republicans: No

Tax credits for the poorest Americans with children?

Republicans: No

Stricter fuel emissions standards for vehicles?

Republicans: No
So what is your solution?

Republicans: Keystone Pipeline!

That belongs to Canada and would export oil

Republicans: Then drill baby drill!

Oil companies are sitting on almost 10,000 approved permits for drilling that they haven’t used

Republicans: Whatever. Let’s go Brandon!

Republicans are attacking Biden, which helps Putin

They’re blocking Biden’s nominees to critical diplomatic and security posts, which helps Putin

They’re disobeying direct instructions from our ambassadors not to share sensitive intel, which helps Putin
#GOPtheRussianParty
They helped incite an attack on our Capitol to end democracy, which is Putin’s exact goal in Ukraine

They’re limiting access to voting across the country to steal back the House in November

They still support the guy who called Putin’s invasion of Ukraine “genius” & “wonderful”
They continue to pass bills that attack and endanger trans people, who Putin hates

They continue to roll back reproductive rights for women, which is what Putin has done

They continue to attack our education system by banning books and whitewashing history, just like Putin

Trump recently claimed “There would be no NATO if I didn’t act strongly and swiftly! Let history so note!”

Trump’s actual history with NATO both before and during his term notes the exact opposite.

Let’s recap. Keep in mind weakening NATO has been one of Putin’s primary goals.
In one of Trump’s books published in 2000–‘The America We Deserve’—Trump claimed that the money we invest in NATO was a complete waste.

“America has no vital interest in choosing between warring factions whose animosities go back centuries in Eastern Europe,” he wrote.
During the 2016 election, Trump repeatedly exaggerated the U.S. contribution to NATO.

Then when he took office, he claimed that “hundreds of billions” of dollars had gone to NATO because of him, even suggesting some of the funds were provided to the U.S. None of this was true.

#G7 statement on #PutinsWar:
We, the Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) are appalled by and condemn the large-scale military aggression by the Russian Federation against the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, directed partly from Belarusian soil.
This unprovoked and completely unjustified attack on the democratic state of Ukraine was preceded by fabricated claims and unfounded allegations. It constitutes a serious violation of international law and a grave breach of the United Nations Charter and all commitments.
Russia entered in the Helsinki Final Act and the Charter of Paris and its commitments in the Budapest Memorandum. We as the G7 are bringing forward severe and coordinated economic and financial sanctions. We call on all partners and members of the international community to

I’m going to start putting together a thread of @GOP officials using their elected office to attack their own country during a crisis. Let’s start with the abomination that is @RepStefanik.

The @GOP gave up on offering legislative solutions a long time ago. Now, their platform consists of generating outrage through either non-existent problems or ones they have deliberately exacerbated by undermining the Biden administration, then blaming Biden for not fixing them.
For example, you’ll be hearing “Bidenflation!” from now until the midterms. Is it Biden’s doing? No. Republicans gave $2 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires and repeatedly refused to provide or extend relief for working families all so they could blame Biden for inflation.
They also banned, blocked, or outlawed all common sense health precautions against COVID so they could blame Biden for not ending the pandemic. They’re still screaming “UNMASK OUR KIDS” and “END THE MANDATES” daily. If doing so is a disaster, which they want, they’ll blame Biden.

If you’re a white person who says the n-word in 70 podcast episodes, you’re a fucking racist.
.@Spotify did not remove @joerogan’s episodes when he used that word 70 TIMES. Nor did they decide he wasn’t someone they wanted to host. They did it only *after* @patriottakes drew attention to it. This tells you all you need to know about them & and his listeners.
#SpotifyKnew
And please spare me the “censorship,” “cancel culture,” and “free speech” B.S. Even if he gets booted from Spotify, Rogan will be someone who can independently reach millions with his podcast; the right invented cancel culture; and free speech ≠ freedom from consequences.
