As a life long conservative Christian and @GOP voter, it’s common for individuals in our tribe to say it’s not the government’s job to do what God called the church to do. I wonder, then, how these individuals then help the people Jesus said define our faith: the poor, the

Many Christians still support Trump because they believe he's pro-life, but the truth is, he isn't. Abortion rates have risen under his policies & he openly advocates pro-choice positions. The Republican Party is making a bet that pro-life voters will never abandon them, no

I guess this is the week in which we see whether our balance of power concept will actually function. The @GOP either exists as an objective political organization—or it is nothing more than the apparatus for the person in power to wield his or her sword.

The republicans in Congress have a simply choice. Do they want: 1. The maintenance of NATO & the Western alliance? 2. Or dictatorship & kleptocracy in partnership with Putin? If you want to maintain NATO, impeach Trump asap! If you want kleptocracy & dictatorship, do nothing!

Trump has no legal authority to tariff American allies to bully them into backing his brainless attempt to seize Greenland. This is against the law, it’s a total disaster for America, and Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court need to find their spines and stop it.
Trump says on Feb 1 he will impose a 10% tariff “on any and all goods sent” to US from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland, increasing to 25% June 1 “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”

I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

Military action against a NATO country would immediately invoke Article 5. That would literally start World War 3. An American president does not have the authority to start a war without congressional approval. And Congress won’t approve it. So why are we wasting our time and

Per Chamath Palihapitiya: California has now lost $1T in billionaire wealth as residents flee the proposed 5% wealth tax. Estimates for ongoing annual state tax revenue loss range from $10–20B (income, cap gains, property, etc.). @grok can you verify and validate this?

Qualified leaders have been telling him this for a year, and he just thought he knew better. Meanwhile thousands of Ukrainians have died while we twiddled our thumbs. Pathetic leadership, @SecRubio

If there is one good thing that has come from the steamrolling Trump disaster, it’s that it has nakedly exposed Russia as an obsurdly lawless country that is also not to be taken seriously on the international stage. For Russia to object to Trump’s lawlessness is truly laughable.
