We had a perfect example today==Hegseth--calling Generals from around the world to fat shame them.

‪Ro Khanna‬

We have deeply unserious people in charge.

They view politics as cheap comedy.

The consequence is failed economic policy with higher prices, no vaccines, and sabotaging scientific & medical research.

Our nation is desperate for a politics of substance again.

over an intelligent, competent candidate who happened to be a woman with a Black father and a mother from India. Many of us are desperate for serious people to be in charge, but I don’t think it can yet be said that the entire nation is.

I advise everyone who has access to watch Lawrence live tonight as well. I think it will be worth watching.

desperate for politics of substance again, or they wouldn’t have elected him in the first place - but they did. Make no mistake. They did.

Now comes the pain.
