Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.

He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.

The job was helping people with disabilities.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.

That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

This is incredible to witness.

Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”

Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.
