Who applied for the 1/6 rally permits? Who paid for organized groups to travel to DC? Who organized housing and other logistics? Who determined the list of speakers? Who coordinated social media for the event? Someone has the answers.

I'm at the White House to join @POTUS as he signs my bipartisan COPS Counseling Act into law. I wrote this bill with @ChuckGrassley to get our law enforcement the mental health services they deserve. It will make a big difference to officers across the country.

If any network cares, I've stopped watching most newscasts because: 1) of too much idle speculation; 2) too much speculation about someone else's speculation; 3) too much speculation about the speculation of someone else's speculation.

Ohio is the latest state to draw unfair maps, flying in the face of its own voters and state constitution. bit.ly/3kTZXGS

"The average annual cost of infant care in Nevada is $11,408, or $951 per month." The #BuildBackBetter makes transformative investments in women and families, lowers child care costs for Nevadans, and boosts compensation for caregivers. epi.org/child-care-cos…

Despite Florida voters passing Amendment 4 which restored the voting rights of returning citizens, the legislature passed what amounts to a modern-day poll tax that continues to bar people from voting. nytimes.com/2021/10/07/opi…

No desire to nuke filibusters? Then perhaps require good old fashioned ones. If the GOP wants to block Everything, then make them actually do it; on their feet in the chamber. Otherwise they'll continue to stop legislation w/o having to explain exactly why.

"When you view your audience with thinly veiled contempt but still need something from them, the obvious approach is to embrace your inner H. L. Mencken and give the rubes exactly what you think they want, good and hard — which is exactly what both Heller and Vance are doing."
