“Trump has never said such things publicly, although he has broken the rules of civility, which emboldens further degeneracy.

The party of Lincoln should be asking why the party of Trump has attracted this faction of individuals, and doing what it must to shed them.”

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.

“With cuts projected to come rolling down from Washington, MI reconfigured how it taxes health services in such a way that allows it to still receive federal money for healthcare without cutting off people from services.

When the alternative is a heavy loss, this one is a big win for Democrats.”

Senator Bayer and I flipped seats from red to blue in 2018, and while she has opted to forgo a third term in the Michigan Senate, her work safeguarding our environment and pushing for gun violence protections will carry us forward to a brighter future for all Michiganders.

"I'd like for the record to show that every single Republican, five of them on this committee, either did not show up or left during your presentation.

Is that how much they care?

I am burnt up over this.

You're emotional.

This is unbelievably sad." youtu.be/0Ld-sz9mj_Q?...

What’s at stake here is free speech.

Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.

We need to all stand up and speak out.
