📺 Welcome to my new series: How to Win the Argument.

This episode? “There Was No Open Border Policy Under Biden.”

You already know the right loves to scream “open borders” on Fox News and in campaign ads—but it’s just a slogan, not reality.

Federal HR departments are now writing partisan attack ads and calling them “out of office messages.” The Hatch Act is supposed to prevent this. But when you fire the guy who enforces it, rules become suggestions.�€‹â�� https://smpl.is/acwor

After many of our phone calls she sould text me to say that she was in a similar discussion with someone else and she would ask me what I had said about something so she could relay it to the other person. She would say - “I’m trying to win an argument - what was that thing you told me again?”

Trump and RFK Jr. just turned autism into a cash grab – blaming Tylenol, pushing a fake “cure,” and lining Dr. Oz’s pockets. This wasn’t medicine, it was a grift in broad daylight.
