I still kind of can't believe Russia sent in their tanks to conquer a neighboring country, then screamed that anyone who resisted them was against "peace", and some people with an IQ greater than a radish actually bought that.

I’ve been in Congress for 100 days. Most of the really angry voices here are faking it.

Just read that almost $10 billion will be spent on political ads for the midterms. And you wonder why we are so polarized and angry.

Pres. Obama: "If you read or see something on the internet that has some grand theory about how some people, whether it's Blacks, or whites, or Jews, or Catholics, or immigrants, or gays — that those people are the cause of all your problems … it's safe to say that's garbage."

The Republicans who have gone against Trump (e.g., Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Lisa Murkowski, Peter Meijer) deserve more credit and support for putting country and principle over party. They courted a lot of hostility. 👍🙏🇺🇸

Good time to remember that you don’t have to care. Interest is a limited resource per person and there’s very little we’re obligated to spend it on.

I never ask this, but I'm asking now: Please retweet this. Texas plans to kill Melissa Lucio in four days. Five jurors say evidence was withheld from them. A bipartisan majority of the Texas legislature favors clemency. Why are you waiting, @GovAbbott? nytimes.com/2022/04/22/us/me…

The Tulsa massacre of 100 years ago reminds us of the horrors inflicted through racial violence. Our striving for love, equality, and liberty will continue to fall short if we do not acknowledge the history of hate that led to atrocities committed against our fellow human beings.

When I graduated college in 1968, the typical corporate CEO got 20 times the pay of the average worker. When I became labor secretary in 1993, the ratio was 61-to-1. Today, the ratio is 320-to-1. Capitalism is off the rails.

57 votes to impeach someone for inciting an attempted overthrow of the US government is perhaps the best argument possible for ending the filibuster.

Why would we want to impeach and convict Donald Trump – a president who is now out of office? Because it must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the government he or she is sworn to protect.

Special Guest on today's SKFL podcast, The Rockford Report. @MikeTagliereNFL weighs in on the RDR (@ishafe) vs. Jeffrey (@jtagesexpress) playoff matchup. youtu.be/HLzOOdtzOxk
What the president is doing is not healthy. He has the right to pursue legal challenges—even futile ones, but he is hurting himself and the country with his absurd proclamations. Republicans in Congress need to intercede.

America's citizens, not a few select politicians, are who make our country great. My plea is this: you cannot control the outcome of the election, but you can control your reaction. Whatever happens, try to make this country better, not worse. Be a helper, not a detractor.
