I try to be careful and not read too much into something like a tie choice. But this seems pretty obvious. Awful person, Pete.

Exactly!😂 Fascinating. So many questions.

@jdickerson.bsky.social FYI

What they are doing is propping up a right wing ideology that does not work. Another example of thier wrong thinking and incompetence.

That's how you should be framing these decisions.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.
