«Never have I been so determined to pay attention internationally & vote accordingly in national elections but otherwise ignore the children & work w/ neighbors to build a resilient community. Then expand. Can’t work any other way. Everything else is smoke & mirrors. Work local»

«“The United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal,” Trump said in a televised speech. He called it “a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made,” and he asserted that Iran harbors ambitions to build nuclear weapons.
Trump said he would begin reinstating “powerful” U.S. nuclear-related sanctions against Iran. But he offered no specifics on the sanctions to be reimposed.

[Edit: Wait — maybe it’s not about MORE than Kanye West. Maybe it’s enough for it to be about him. Maybe it’s just It’s definitely more than another shallow piece condemning him.]
What I’d like to know is why is Frank Luntz asking questions like this? It’s not like he’s suddenly turned into a softer, gentler Republican strategist.
«…moderator Frank Luntz asked U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, who’s running in a GOP primary for governor against Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, to provide an example of a time he’s changed his mind about something.»
And yet, when the Democratic Party does this, people go berserk.
Conservatives gunning for a school intervention program intended to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. No surprise here.
