DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Overall, Puerto Rico is held back by its own corruption, with an UN report estimating it has lost 14% of its GDP due to macroeconomic policy (partially driven by corruption).
We need to kick double-dipper like Mujica out, greatly reduce the salaries of the Oversight Board (it shouldn't take nine times the COL-adjusted salary of running NYC's budget), and overall, take charge of Puerto Rico just as we are doing in DC.
And maybe, just maybe, we can gain seats.
I am invested in Puerto Rico now because my husband and I are trying to budget a visit there for tax reasons. We'll keep you updated.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - This is a bit personal, but I think it matters right now with everything happening between Israel and Palestine.
The best co-worker I ever had was a Muslim. Back in 2020, when the workplace felt like it was drowning in politics, he had a strength I didn’t have then - the courage to stand against wokism.
We didn’t agree on everything, but we respected each other. Once I asked him about his biggest wish, and he said, half-joking but half-serious, that he wanted to be buried with a Trump sign and an AK-15. That told me convictions don’t always follow the lines the media draws for us.
It’s hard to watch so much pain, anger, and division get tied to faraway nations most of us can’t control.
Maybe now more than ever, we need to find the things we share. For me, that’s found in Jesus, and in remembering that friendship and truth can cross any border.
Please believe me when I say that I form my opinions independently. I wrote a thread against AIPAC earlier this week. And I wrote a thread against Muslim Brotherhood today. My allegiance is strictly American.

Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins - BREAKING: This Washington DC police officer just demolished all of Donald Trump’s reasons for mobilizing the National Guard in DC. This is a must watch.
