@RonFilipkowski Kevin McCarthy is complaining that Biden’s visit to the Mexico border is a photo op after complaining during the midterm election campaign that he hadn’t visited the border as President. Nothing about Brazil. Probably his boss Trump won’t let him, nor does he care.

@glennkirschner2 Trump playbook: bully strong women. -Calling women who accused him of sexual harassment “liars” and “not my type.”.-Insulting Cruz’s and McConnell’s wives.-Attacking Pelosi, Cheney, AG James for being…liberal?.-Now attacking SC Jack Smith’s wife. So weak.
