    Jeet Heer Retweeted philip lewis

    This is basically the same as the Yglesias tweet from yesterday that people were mad at: USA #1. Leaving aside that it's out of touch with the mood of the moment (the pessimism recorded in polling), it's also at odds with objective fact.https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1529800967851585538 …

        @tedcruz ultimately—inevitably, cowardly—falls back on “people come to America from all over the world because it’s the freest country in the world” pablum to justify inaction on guns. Easy retort: immigrants don’t come here so they can buy assault rifles on their 18th birthday https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1529800967851585538 …

        In 2006, a gunman tried to start a mass shooting at Dawson College in Montreal. Having learned their lesson from Polytechnique, patrollers didn't wait for SWAT to arrive and went inside to engage the suspect immediately. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/police-honoured-for-dawson-bravery/article972138/ … https://twitter.com/perreaux/status/1529649687443144704 …

        Does Cruz ever leave the country, other than to hide in Cancun? Even before our national Covid catastrophe, "USA #1" wasn't exactly what I was hearing when I traveled. Pretty much in unison, it was "USA, WTF?"
