FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

Vivek Ramaswamy's "real plan" is just a series of terrible ideas that would screw Ohio families. Our state needs a governor who will lower costs for working families, not a corrupt billionaire who changes his positions every other week because Ohioans are rejecting him.

It’s amateur hour for the politicians at the Pentagon and White House in charge of this war. This is not a video game. And there is absolutely no excuse for the Trump operation to dishonor this nation by raising campaign money off the images of our war dead.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Trump continues to threaten to cut off trade with Spain to “punish” them. But the U.S. runs a $4.8 billion trade SURPLUS with Spain. We are winning that deal. And Spain is in the EU, so you can’t just target Spain alone. This isn’t America First, it’s America Confused.

Again, the unifying 🧵 about Trump’s foreign policy is not realism or neo-royalism. It’s the extension of sexual assault/predation/partner abuse to IR. If he thinks you’re his macho pal, he’ll respect you/your sovereignty. If not, he’ll try to violate you & humiliate you. Epstein-ism, if you like.
