Sir you are the provider of bad news for Republicans
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

Rep Lauren Boebert's now-explained campaign expenses at a Kid Rock concert were tied to her $12,000/person fundraiser in a suite at the Kid Rock show.
That's about $521 for every diggy-diggy-diggy in Bawitdaba, or $173 on a per diggy basis.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.
They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.
They’re not going after criminals.
They’re grabbing anyone they can.
