Biden is doing too much and also not enough

Poll: A majority of Americans believe Biden has not been “tough enough” on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, but are concerned about the U.S. being drawn into an all-out war

Fiery pileup kills at least three in Pennsylvania.

Of course this is the same anti-LGBTQ Qnut who attends white nationalist rallies, harassed a Parkland parent weeks after his child was killed in the high school shooting, and pretends to believe in Jewish space lasers to spread anti-semitic conspiracy theories, among a long list of outrageously unacceptable behavior from anyone, let alone a U.S. congressperson.
