Except when it comes to funding 1srael's war of terror. Right, chuck?
Americans from all walks of life agree that the status quo cannot continue.
What's happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country is not law and order, it's thuggery.
We will keep working to rein in ICE’s abuses.

Compared to other candidates, our Q4 fundraising numbers show a campaign powered by people, not special interests.
Who would you rather have representing you, a candidate supported by self-funding, special interests and billionaire checkbooks, or one overwhelmingly supported by the people?

Reminder: In midst of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex ring, Donald Trump said this about Epstein to media: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with." Trump added, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

The nerve to say @katmabu.bsky.social has too much "ego," while simultaneously throwing a social media temper tantrum because a candidate didn't want to be apart of your byzantine endorsement exercise is why legacy media (and legacy politicians) can go fck
From the Editorial Board: The good news for voters otherwise predisposed to Kat Abughazaleh is that there’s a youthful progressive candidate in the race with similar views but who comes with a record of service and without the ego: Bushra Amiwala.

From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

María Machado's praise of Trump for removing Maduro is like Schuschnigg saying I hope Hitler does something about Engelbert Dollfuss
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
