@arrrg CHARMING. One of the four #Dems in favor of #warrantless #wiretapping is Rep. Josh #Gottheimer, who is also the sponsor of the infamous operating-system-level "age verification" bill (with the Orwellian name "Parents Decide") that would effectively require a remote kill switch for every PC. (His Republican cosponsor is the notorious election denier Rep. Elise #Stefanik.)

Always remember: not only are ALL of the #Republicans our deadly enemies, so are NEARLY all the #Democrats. This Nazi vermin #Gottheimer is merely the worst of a bad lot. #JackassParty

@QasimRashid
I don't understand why Qasim is reluctant to say this:
#IL11 is a fairly blue district. Whoever becomes the Republican nominee is not the most important opponent.
Rashid is running to #PRIMARY Rep Bill Foster, a #centrist who in his lengthy DC career has frequently sided with Republicans against Dems.
Foster is a member of the corporate-friendly "New Democrat Coalition", alongside Josh #Gottheimer and Henry #Cuellar.
To put it bluntly, screw those guys.
