Note to all elected officials but especially Senators Cornyn and Tillis: stop pretending to care about things/principles you don’t actually care about. You are fooling no one and you just look pathetic.

PARADIGM SHIFTER. DELEGATE. WAR CRIMES ARE BEING COMMITTED IN MN
I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country. You deserve to go to a good school, get healthcare when you need it, and know that you can graduate and get a good job.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Sen. Rand Paul: "This was a war of choice, and it wouldn't have been my choice ... they've militarized the strait. The strait has never been militarized ... I think that really we, by any objective viewing, are worse off now than we were before the war"
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.
JUST IN: Donald Trump's $10b lawsuit against the IRS goes to ... Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee in Florida.
JUST IN: Judge Kathleen Williams orders “Alligator Alcatraz” shut down within 60 days — and blocks Trump & Florida from admitting any new detainees.
[Excerpt:] Thom Tillis and John Cornyn are the spineless, principle-free wimps we always knew they were, and Todd f*cking Blanche is going to be attorney general of the United States. Unless someone figures out how to revoke his bar license. Which we are rooting very, very, very hard for.
Todd Blanche's Slush Fund For J6ers Officially Dead, Allegedly. Make Him AG Now?
Or so the Germans would have us believe.

The least we can do is flood their voicemails and tell them what pigs they are. Republicans allow TAX IMMUNITY for only the Trump family, and a slush fund to fund people that literally shit on the walls of the capitol as they attacked police? Tillis 202-224-6342 Cornyn 202-224-2934
Exactly! John Cornyn is a lawyer and a former judge who knows full well that Blanche’s written statement does not undo the slush fund/tax immunity settlement. The contract can only be modified by the agreement (signatures) of all the parties. The gaslighting is astounding!
How about setting up a slush fund for being a white supremacists but calling anti-weaponization fund.
Cornyn and Tillis are just 2 blowhards who just wanted to take a stand to show how tough they want people to think they are. They're not. When this slush fund gets revived again by Blanche, Cornyn and Tillis will go down in the annals of history as dumbshits.
You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not understand this.
If you deny that COVID pushed our hospitals to the limit, vaccines work, and healthcare workers are heroes, you should not be allowed to hold public office, let alone lead a health agency.
Actually, that slush fund isn't "gone" because one of the provisions in it states that the terms canNOT be changed unless all parties agree. And guess who those "parties" include.....???
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 3d agoA win and a loss. At least Trump’s proposed slush fund is gone. Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced they will support Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general after Blanche said he would formally scrap the administration’s proposed “anti-weaponization” fund.
Dollars to donuts Blanch will revive the fund www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

if we lived under socialism every adult in this country would get a $600 tariff refund check but instead they are giving your money to the very multibillion dollar corporations who pricegouged you
The president of the United States is a mentally deranged con man and a pathological liar.
Trump claims his taxpayer-funded insurrectionist slush fund "happens to be very popular among many quarters ... so I view that fund as a positive"
Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.
Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident
