WYM Mod<p>Lindsey Graham's shift in stance reveals deep concerns about U.S. inaction on Russian aggression. Partnering with bipartisan colleagues, he proposes sanctions like a 500% tariff on nations funding Russia's war, including China and India.

…Peters said he’s most proud of his record of #bipartisanship while in the #Senate. The nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked him the No.1 senator for effectiveness in the 116th & 117th #Congresses. In the 117th, he had 19 measures signed into #law, …& 10 in the 116th.

…”every bill that I've got passed is because I've actually walked over to the #House, I've set up a meeting w/the Republican leader in that cmte, & I'll sit down & first build a relationship.….”

@WhiteCatTamer Yeah voting for a neoliberal party over another neoliberal party, but one is open to the bias & hatred while the other lies in front of you're face.

Also this meme is practically the truth as some Dems & News Anchors are now pushing Anti #Trans rhetoric as if it's the reason they lost.

Sooner or later they'll throw them under the base, which seems is gonna be a lot sooner for #bipartisanship.
