🇩🇪🇪🇺 Russia has brought war back to Europe, disrupting world order, — Merz
We need to strengthen our ability to resist. Almost four years later, war has returned to Europe.
This is a criminal attack on the world order, which the USSR, and then Russia, agreed with us.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Quits are like a confidence poll of workers. When lots of people quit, it’s because they believe they can find something better. Right now “quits are very low,” which tells you people feel it’s tough out there—and that makes it harder to bargain for raises.

Since Governor Katie Hobbs took office, Arizona’s economy has grown by more than 100,000 jobs, with the lowest unemployment rate in Arizona history. It is now a manufacturing hub with billions of dollars in private investment. We need to keep her in office.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.
