HEY IT’S RICK

Dad to a wonderful, independent, compassionate, intelligent daughter. Supporter of LGBTQ+, civil, and equal rights. I WILL call out BS on all sides of the political aisle. (NO 🚫 SALES) I’m here for political discourse, not cash disbursement.

Overpriced and Potentially Dangerous. MAGA boasts about saving a few dollars at the gas pump but those saving are immediately gone after shopping for a few items, then they go home to an electric bill 4-8X more.

Haley Stevens is not pro-Israel, she is pro-genocide. There is a difference. She was one of few Democrats in House to vote with GOP to sanction ICC for investigating Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza and to bar State Dept from citing death toll from Gaza health ministry. She helped enable a genocide

Do you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.

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.

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

Vaccines work. If there’s a vaccine for it, I have been vaccinated. So has my entire family. None of us has developed the diseases we’ve been immunized against. That’s exactly what vaccines are designed to do. Dr. Fauci was a scientist working in an environment hostile to science. Nobody wins.

We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.

“Their names were scratched off or taken off a list in the Pentagon. To me, it is abhorrent, it’s criminal.” Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social (Ret.) fights back tears as he describes the military’s last roll call, and what it means to erase four fallen soldiers from the Pentagon’s casualty list.

AOC doesn't hold back after reports Mike Johnson may call an early August recess: "I mean, we're here to do a job... And if you are leaving your job early, you need to be accountable for that and tell people why. And these folks just don't want to work. And it's really shameful."

AOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales died defending this country. Think about that while politicians demonize immigrants and terrorize Latino communities. Americans with names like Gonzales have always fought, bled, and died for this nation. RIP to her and Lt. Tyler Feehan. 🇺🇸

Pentagon shares the names of two US servicemembers KIA Friday and Saturday in the Iranian attack on the
US base in Jordan.
1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii;
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas.
RIP

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.
