Trump admits he doesn't think about our economy, and Lindsey Graham cheers it on as his Churchill moment. Graham actually declared that whatever price we have to pay, we will pay. They will gladly watch your cost of living skyrocket to play out their military fantasies.
Trump arrived in Beijing for an official visit, bringing more than a dozen American tech executives with him. Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang were on the plane with him. 🇺🇸🇨🇳

Where we have led on calling for closer integration with Europe, others are following - including senior members of government. Our allies are more important than ever. Liberal Democrats will continue to make the case for closer relations with Europe to boost our economy, defence and security.
We can't rely on America, we need closer ties with the EU🚨 Stanford Professor Nick Bloom on The Rest is Money: "Trump is doing his own kind of maxi-Brexit in the US." "He's making it harder to trade, he's being anti-immigrant and he's creating a lot of uncertainty."

I'm 100% on board for civil rights. The supporters of HB 752 are not. But there are other reasons to oppose this bill. It just doesn't make sense. It could have the opposite of the intended effect. It's stupid all the way around. Tell Brad to veto it. (208) 334-2100
