I'd prefer that DHS didn't regularly post sacrilegious Christmas-themed social media posts. I think a reasonable person could interpret this as openly mocking the Christian religion and one of its most significant holidays.

It's time to let go of the extremely pernicious and extremely delusional view that Ru is a security maximizer driven by worries about its own security. It's driven entirely by imperialist expansionism. They say it every day, their actions demonstrate it every day.
Anyone complaining about European rearmament as escalatory simply doesn’t understand Ru. Ru invades the unarmed and the neutral (Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine). It hasn’t dared invade a NATO member, no matter how small. If Ru does attack NATO, it will be because it perceives its members as unprepared.

Carrying the water for billionaires should be disqualifying for Dem candidates whose attention should be directed at the rest of the population of the US and not 1100 people with vastly more wealth than they could ever spend. Sorry, Gavin, that’s old think pandering to donors.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.
