Moderates = adults in the room. AKA, governing pragmatists.
28 Sep 2021
When people try to negatively describe me as a moderate I think about how moderates are actually 80% of America. In Congress, we're the principled ones who behave the same way whether or not our party is in power; the ones who actually sell ideas to people who disagree with us.

I think American taxpayers are upset because you took a 7 month family reality show road trip subsidized by the American taxpayer and paid for by corporations you regulate, while not doing your actual job—which incidentally is also paid for by taxpayers who are paying an enormous amount for gas because of a war your boss launched and can’t get out of.
The radical, miserable left has noticed our awesome Great American Road Trip trailer… and they hate it. It’s too wholesome. It’s too patriotic. It’s too joyful. They’re upset because they don’t want you to celebrate America! And they definitely don’t want you to teach your kids civics & patriotism. So they tell lies to undermine the mission. Here are the facts: 1. Production costs were paid for by the Great American Road Trip Inc., not taxpayers. Zero taxpayer dollars were spent on my family. 2. Neither myself nor my family received a salary or production royalties. The five part series will be freely accessible by the public on YouTube. 3. The series was filmed in short, one to two day production windows — such as weekends and the kids’ spring break. 4. Career ethics and budget officials at the Department of Transportation reviewed and approved both my participation and individual travel in accordance with federal rules. 5. Under my leadership, DOT has become the most responsive, productive, and transformational in its history — modernizing air traffic control, hiring 20% more controllers annually than my predecessor, moving grants at record speed, and removing illegal truck drivers from the road. Don’t let the haters stop you from visiting our spectacular national parks, monuments and sights in honor of America’s 250th birthday! Our message is really simple: to love America is to see America. So put the phone down, hit the open road, and rediscover what makes America great.

This is what actual Trump Derangement Syndrome looks like.
🚨BREAKING: @SusieWiles just said she "thinks we're GOING TO FIND OUT" President Trump WON many of the states the media claims he lost in 2020. "I think we are going to find out he actually DID win." God bless Susie! Follow: @BoLoudon

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption, and shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy, and faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving and momentous for us all.

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one. nbcnews.com/world/russia/rus…. However, this seems half the problem (1/n)

Tesla might be done. I don't think there are enough right-wing Tesla buyers to replace the flood of Dems and independents that are abandoning the brand. This is something called capitalism and consumer choice. I'm sure they'll applaud it soon, since, you know, they claim to support the concept.

Donald Trump is taking America out of NATO to join the Warsaw Pact. Well done, my Republican friends. You have no character, no conviction, and your legacy will be the betrayal of the Greatest Generation's sacrifice. You are a disgrace and will be remembered for who you are.

Seems like it should be a bigger news story that the Secretary of Defense is a tax cheat.
Of course the outgoing Biden IRS rushed an “audit” of the incoming SecDef. Total sham. The party of “norms” and “decency” strikes again. We will never back down.

putin is a war criminal. i have no problem with the us president (or macron or scholz) talking with him. but under no circumstances should his crimes be normalized or white washed. what’s happening right now is a stain on the united states and its role in the world.

Putin is now asking for a new election in Ukraine, conducted in a specific manner that he can influence, so that he can install his puppet and accomplish that which he couldn’t militarily. Nice try, Vladimir. Try holding a free and fair election in your own country first without imprisoning your opponents. You have zero credibility and the United States and Europe will not cave to your ridiculous demands. Recognize and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence, or deal with the consequences. There is an outcome-determinative number of Members of Congress who feel the same, and we are fully prepared to do whatever is necessary to preserve world peace.

Notable fact: Donald Trump officially joins the history books with William Jennings Bryan as the only major party candidates to ever run for president three times and fail to receive 50% of the vote in any election.
Community note
This is objectively false. Grover Cleveland ran as a Democrat for the presidency 3 times (1884, 1888, & 1892) & he won the presidency twice (1884 & 1892). He did not get 50% of the popular vote in any of the presidential elections he competed in. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U… - britannica.com/topic/United-S…

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

NEW Kamala Harris’ final ad in Pennsylvania features her sitting next to Josh Shapiro while both of them speak straight to camera. I don’t remember any other time a major candidate has filmed an ad just like this. I remember some ads where rally footage features the state’s governor or senator, but not like this. Speaks to how popular Shapiro is.
