Good advice from Brazil.

Rafa Sales Ross@rafiews.com

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night.

Ignore them.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Trump gave billionaires massive tax breaks. Now his IRS won’t release the numbers showing who benefited. Two missed deadlines. An election weeks away. If these tax cuts were so wonderful for ordinary Americans, RELEASE THE DAMN NUMBERS! #USDemocracy newrepublic.com/post/216605/...

Margaret Brennan: "Nidal Hasan is in a wheelchair. Doesn’t the administration risk livestreaming this and making him a martyr?" Markwayne Mullin: “No one has to watch it.” Brennan: “Well then, why are you livestreaming it?” Mullin: “The president is restoring American values.”

MAGA: "I'm against abortion." Us: "Then don't get one." MAGA: "These books are filthy trash." Us: "Then don't read them." Got any others?

Dear Iran: If you really want to make Donny sweat, don’t bomb SoCal. He won’t be able to use it as an excuse to declare a national emergency and cancel our elections. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
