"Sleepwalking into dictatorship" Liz Cheney It's every American's duty to work to ensure the GOP, so long as it's an authoritarian party, remains out of power.

Finally, a Republican with a spine.
I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head. Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion. The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin. This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

You’re right. Sorry. Turns out you didn’t vote to deny 9/11 first responders healthcare twice. You did it NINE times.
You’ve got some nerve. You campaign with people who say America deserved 9/11 — then lie about me to try to save yourself. Disavow Hasan Piker before you come at me about “shame.”

Will Fairfax County have more Dem or GOP voters tomorrow? Only Dem primary is 8th CD, while Republicans are countywide for US Senate and congressional seats. If Dems still pull more it would be pretty funny.

Trump promised "unconditional surrender" when the Iran war started. He just didn't say which side was surrendering.

Not sure I've heard a Virginia Beach Congressman tell a Black man from NYC to take his his "cotton-picking hands" back North since about Virginia was massive resisting circa 1956.....
"Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." "Yes to that." WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has "cotton-picking" hands. #VA02

Just think how much fun we’ll have tearing it down in a few years.
At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.” @sbg1 newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Can anyone outside the Trump cult imagine Trump ever taking responsibility like Ike did? Of course not—because such action requires courage and character.
Before D-Day, General Eisenhower (who died today 1969) wrote this note saying if the landings failed, fault would be "mine alone" as Supreme Commander:

SO TRUE! Kaine: Trump 'too mentally incapacitated' to understand he set stage for Iran nuclear development msn.com/en-us/news/politics/…

It's the other way around. You and your Republican buddies think you can make a "fairness" argument that the Democrats in Virginia and other blue states should unilaterally disarm so the authoritarian Republican party headed by dictator Trump can tighten its authoritarian grip.
They think Virginia voters are dumb and won’t see through the fairness argument if they spend enough millions.

Great point. I hope they take Ben's advice and I hope their boycott is effective. That would solve a lot of problems.
Republicans should boycott all elections until they win again. This is peak strategy and whoever came up with this should get an award from MAGA.

Wild strategy for Republican localities to just not vote and give more weight to Democratic localities. Not sure this is even possible or anything but still… very interesting strategy
