Violates generally accepted rules of decorum to complain about someone else violating generally accepted rules of decorum. Sounds about right. 🙄
I am a member of congress, a former Navy SEAL, and the longest serving enlisted member of the United States military, to ever be elected to Congress in the history of my country. I have served in uniform in combat in multiple areas of conflict. I must be frank with you Mr. President, how you treated my President @realdonaldtrump and my Vice President @JDVance by trying to talk over them and show disrespect in our Oval Office was reprehensible. I will not be voting for a fucking nickel in military aid for you until you get your mind right. This can be in public or private, but I will remind you that with the slim majority in our house of representatives I can stop any initiative, including the money coming to you. We want peace in Europe, but in no way, shape or, form, will America ever be your bitch. Feel free to contact my office, if you would like support. Longworth 1513

Years ago I saw a poll for carpool lanes on the freeway, where voters were very supportive. When you dug into the poll, people said they wouldn’t use them, but though lots of other people would and improve their commute as a lone driver.

I love Election Day. It’s second only to the 4th of July in terms of what I look forward to most.

A candidate hamstrung by voter distrust and persistent scandals but resilient in public polling enters the final week supremely confident, campaigning in reach states outside the battleground, when an ominous survey out of Iowa suggests all may not be what it seems…

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you need more yard signs. Your campaign hangs in the balance.

Tariffs are an indirect tax on Americans. If you support tariffs, you support increasing taxes on Americans. It’s that simple.

RT @Alyssafarah: True leaders are willing to sacrifice their office, ambition, & power to do what’s right. That’s exactly what @Liz_Cheney

OMG. I just watched the @nbcsnl cold open and forgot how good @danacarvey was. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Time to go down the Bush and Perot rabbit hole!

A little Sunday reading while my son plays Laser Tag with his friends. Thanks for the insights @madrid_mike! It’s been a while since I’ve contemplated pluralism, with my new role on the School Board offering a fresh perspective beyond academic theory.

Ronald Reagan: “Can we doubt that only a divine providence placed this land...here as a refuge for all those people in the world who yearn to breathe freely: Jews and Christians…the boat people of Southeast Asia, of Cuba and of Haiti?” x.com/ZaidJilani/status/1835…

The lie about immigrants eating pets is intended to dehumanize people. The goal is to make black and brown people less than human. Subhuman. As Voltaire said “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

Almost every one of the 20 years @carldemaio has spent in San Diego have featured some major falling out between him and his former allies. Now the Republican Party has mobilized against him: voiceofsandiego.org/2024/09/…
