1)Bigotry drives attacks on #borderlaw
by Abbott-types, not fear. US crime stats prove it. Do migrants with or w/o legal status committ crime? Yes. Yet, though violent crime rates are way down overall, among immigrants they are negligible—FAR below that in citizens.
@edwards21228 2)The US faces an inflection point in #labor. Our workforce is disappearing. In many regions, skilled workers, plumbers and electricians, are so backed up plumbing emergencies cannot be addressed for 2wks or more. Americans are generally less willing to work in service/labor.

1-Even media largely trying to report honestly have become an arm of Trump’s campaign, allowing him free tv time via criminal indictment. He has NOT stopped campaigning. Every time he enters a courtroom, networks and cable news give Trump unpaid campaign time, replaying clips…

2-…or covering his manipulated pre or post post court tirades. DJT again is profiting from all this unpaid press coverage. Last week, our president gave a stirring speech on Putin’s murder of #AlexiaNalvalny, hosted critical ME ally, the King of Jordan, and gave speeches...

1)Russia now has 50,000 Nepalese fighting #Ukraine as Trump encourages Putin to “do whatever the hell he wants.”
2)The #GOPfrontrunner hates Ukraine #PresZelensky who rebuffed Trump’s blackmail, shaming him to Putin—the tyrant he dances for most.

@mister_myron @dccra @katog617 3)Trump lied, no surprise, yet, it must be noted he did NOT inspire NATO to raise defense spending.
4) In 2006, Members agreed to reach
2% GDP defense spending by 2024. In 2014, Putin took Crimea, increasing NATO urgency on defense $$.

1)Reading coverage of #GOPdebate 3, I wondered, Had we seen the same debate? Punditry called it a race for 2nd btwn 2 China courtiers, one touting ‘weaponized’ 5” heals to answer #ViciousVik foolishness
w/her own: namecalling him #scum
to defend a married daughter’s TikTok
use. 2)The woman’s main experience is
a stint as governor of a small state. Her time as Trump’s UN appointee, was not notable,arguably ineffectual. We forgot her. Now, #Haley who could/would not stand up to Trump’s fast&loose play w/Const’l limits is running for president?

8As Mike Johnson celebrates the House clerks for their part in “keeping”our democracy, remember that keeping our democracy is something he has been, thus far, actively unwilling to do. Since he still ascribes to trumpy election lies, any desire to rebuild trust starts with him. 9As Johnson continues to pontificate, he has yet to mention Ukraine, our friend fighting Putin’s unprovoked, barbarous and fascist invasion of their free nation. He touts the the nat’l doubt as if a product of Dem spending, though his icon Trump, in only 4yrs created 25% of it.

1At the end of this day, @HouseGOP settled back into #MAGA morass,
and it’s mundane #TrumpChaos. Nothing achieved, nothing changed, just a fascist @GOP moving further to the extreme w/rightwing zealot and committed election denier Johnson, as speaker.

@chipfranklin @BillKristol 2By admission of their caucus, Repub #MikeJohnson has yet to admit that Biden won a proper 2020 election. Many affirm they voted for him b/c he’s nobody’s enemy, nor is he known in the electorate as a premiere election denier, and the #HouseGOP is exhausted from their own #chaos.

As a friend to #Israel, understand, #PresBiden stalwart response to #Hamas strengthens me. Yet, I am deeply troubled about the conflicting message trumpy GOP legislators send Ukraine, sustaining a free Europe for the West amid Putin’s evil on innocents by his rogue army & Wagner. 2) I have seen Ukraine’s commitment to free, representative Gov’t—even under despotic occupation. We must not miss the similarities in the nightmares in Ukraine and Israel. Spouses, children, the aged & infirm abused and brutishly, mockingly murdered in their family’s eyes.

1 In America, during the days leading to and during WW11, a chilling number of American citizens were pro nazism. These sympathizers & saboteurs collaborated & conspired
with Hitler against our nation. As it was in then, so it is now in the new GOP, party of fascistic, statist… 2 authoritarianism, isolationism, postConst’lism, state-prescribed mores and religion. Then, the efforts of America’s 20th Century fascists were successfully subverted. We emerged victorious, helping restore global balance through new democracies. What of now? Even today, #GOP…

1) An uninformed, pharisaical condemnation of an industry providing, w/regularity, life-saving, less invasive medical options at huge R&D cost:

2) The tweeter has a campaign against #Pharma, an imperfect industry, as all human endeavors are. She blames Pharma for poor nations, though it has provided millions of free doses. It escapes her that graft often frustrates the administration of those helps. We are blessed...

1) The song says, "Each quiet act of dignity is the one that fortifies." America voted soundly in favor of a man of quiet dignity to preclude the seditious intent of a loud, lying,
criminal buffoon. Mr. Biden began day one, signing orders of quiet dignity.

@dccra @elhombrelibre1 2) Mr. Biden continues restoring America's global presence
and influence with, in his words, "quiet, relentless diplomacy." He isn't hampered, as was his predecessor, by being a bad
actor, leveraged by our adversaries. He works in quiet purpose--understanding America's big stick.
