I feel like we have an opportunity to win reliable transportation that will get us closer to the ‘dream.’ And the far-left is holding out for a Ferrari we can’t afford. The idea of a fast track is amazing – but it will drain our wallets and is sure to need expensive repairs on the way.

There are no better angels in DC Our self-healing system is offline & the mechanisms to reboot it are being dismantled Respect & reverence for the American institution are dead An inevitable fight is coming… And it is on us Be ready www.48Forward.us
When are we, the left, going to realize that fighting amongst ourselves only weakens us for Nov. The more liberal wing of our camp (we’re all on the same team) needs to grow up & realize that to get what THEY want, WE must move incrementally. Let’s win DC first, so we can move toward that goal. 🙄
CNN: Jamie Raskin makes a critical point about the WHCD shooting: “This is happening in schools across the country. The kids have no resources to process their trauma.” Saying more guns is the answer to shootings is like saying more alcohol is the answer to drunk driving. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
If Trump had taken a reasonable & logical position on the war in Ukraine, none of this would be an issue. The path Biden was on would have ended the conflict long ago now & we wouldn’t be seeing Russia probing and threatening the eastern bloc countries. Continued war in eastern Europe is on him.

War criminal? No war criminal? War criminal? No war criminal? 💩 or get off the pot Don. Pull out & prove this all a stupid waste of lives, time, and $. Or follow through on your threats and prove you’re a monster. We all need another reason to justify getting you the hell out of government.

Draft-dodging Donald loves sending other people's children to war.
It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.
❗️The U.S. has extended the license for operations involving Russian oil. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has extended a license allowing transactions involving Russian oil and petroleum products that were loaded onto vessels before April 17. Such transactions are now permitted until May 16.
Not in my 55 yrs have we had an administration whose actions are so directly to blame for the issues we & the world face. Their actions are not only willful & destructive, but so poorly executed & haphazard as to reduce America to a band of armed-to-the-teeth fools. Pray sanity wins in November.

PERSPECTIVE 25mg ~Institutional gaslighting An 8% tax burden on a family earning $65K pays the bills & feeds the kids for an extra month. An added 1% burden on those making more than $1M per year prevents them from buying their kid that Range Rover she wants. Wake Up! They’re eating our children!
#1 point to be made @ this ‘return to the guided age of 50’s America’ In the 50’s we had the most progressive tax code America’s ever had. Millionaires & Corps paid their fair share, serving the greater good. It’s simple math. You can’t get there from here without that. Today? We serve them.
"We just have individuals up there currently in the executive branch but also every single member of Congress, and our delegation here in Iowa, that are just looking out for these billionaires and large corporations. And it is driving up costs." - @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social
Millennials & Gen Z have been used as an ATM for the 1%—redistributing wealth, setting up insurmountable hurdles to basic prosperity & security, & destroying the American dream. All in the name of power & profit. All by design. They’ll be coming for their inheritance very soon. www.48Forward.us
Once again, the GOP has unnecessarily shoved U.S. hands into a hornet’s nest to: –bolster war hawk support –aid Israel –feed the military economy –convince us that the Right knows what’s best for us And once again, they have failed—passing our role as ‘the great Satan’ on to yet another generation.
The Iran War Is Making America Less Safe
A conflict launched in the name of American security is producing the opposite effect.

'If russia stops, the war ends If Ukraine stops, Ukraine ends, ➡️ that's why we must help Ukraine win!' kaja kallas
Saying the quiet part out loud as usual, Trump is making it easy for The Hague. 🤦♂️
Anyone considered that Trump may see Iran as our Gaza? A long time ‘enemy’ filled with ‘sick’ people who want to destroy us. Not to be outdone by Bibi… everything Trump is “like the world has never seen.” Maybe helping Israel is peripheral to having his own nemesis & committing his own genocide.
