@RepChipRoy I'm old enough to remember when House Republicans did exactly the same thing, and stayed out of DC for an exceptionally long time.

Rep. Roy: "It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE. Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job and then leave town? So we're going to stand up and say NO to that. We're going to send back a bill that's responsible to the American people."

@RepDonBacon The Save America Act is not a voter ID law.

Voter ID is popular with every demographic. Every poll shows very similar numbers.

@RightScopee Sadly, that displayed the full depth of Hegseth's knowledge.

SENATOR TIM SHEEHY: How many genders are there? HEGSETH: Two. SHEEHY: I know that well, I'm a "she-he (Sheehy)." What is the diameter of a rifle round fired out of an M4A1? HEGSETH: 5.56. SHEEHY: How many pushups can you do? HEGSETH: I did 5 sets of 47 this morning. SHEEHY: Most important strategic base is in the Pacific? HEGSETH: Guam. SHEEHY: How many rounds of 5.56 can you fit into the magazine of an M4 rifle? HEGSETH: Standard issue is 30. SHEEHY: What size round is the M9 Beretta standard issue sidearm for the military? HEGSETH: 9mm. SHEEHY: What kind of batteries do you put in your night vision goggle? HEGSETH: Duracell. SHEEHY: You represent what warfighters deal with every day on the battlefield. You understand them. What happens is - decisions made in rooms like this cause d*ad 17, 18, 19-year-old Americans. Your priority is warfighters. I support you. Time to get loud for @PeteHegseth If you strongly support Pete Hegseth and everything he’s doing to help keep America safe, drop a “👍” I tagged him so he will definitely see it MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@JesseKellyDC The problem here is that the Trump administration is also surprised by this very unsurprising response.

QUESTION: We have seen the Iranian people risk death by swarming the streets many times before. Now their leaders are dead and strongest army on earth is playing bodyguard for them. So why no uprising? Not judging. Just a genuine question. Where is the uprising?

@Johnny_Joey Well-meaning friends have told me things like, "Shoot first, ask questions later," and "Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six." Good advice, for cowards.

Democrat interpretations of “Law of War” took my legs and killed my friends. You Sir can f$&@ right off with your lobbying for our enemies.

@RandPaul Every state I have lived in, and I have lived in many, required an ID to vote. The Save America Act is not about that, and you know it.

47 of 49 Western nations require voter ID, but some senators are blocking the SAVE Act from even getting a floor vote. Why? Because a floor vote means accountability. It means going on the record. I'm demanding that vote. Time to show the American people exactly where you stand.

U.S. oil production metrics (active rigs, new wells drilled) decreased in the first Trump administration and have declined again in the second Trump administration. You are waging a war on truth, Stephen.

@azsweetheart013 Don't drop your guard when throwing a punch at Amy. "Fragile men They all try to scold you Now there's no one to console you When you don't get your way" Hayes Carll, "Fragile Men" _What It Is_, 2019

I don’t think so. Did yours?

@TimSheehyMT You are probably right. They did plan; it's just that the National Command Authority did such a horrible job of it that it APPEARS that they've been caught with their pants around their ankles. Sort of like tariffs and Ag markets.

I received a classified briefing from the administration. It is categorically false that they did not plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz. Lawmakers and national security officials have known for years that this was Iran’s plan once their backs were against the wall.

@StevenCheung47 Would be much more authentic if you stuck with the original "Lügenpresse."

There is so much Fake News floating around. To the public, it may seem like legitimate news. It’s not. It’s a bunch of unnamed sources— usually “Democrats” (labeled as U.S. officials) or Iranian Regime sympathizers (labeled as foreign diplomates). Don’t get fooled by Fake News.

@SenTomCotton They certainly didn't plan effectively. I trust our military at the tactical and operational levels, but not the National Command Authority at the strategic level. President decides capriciously and SecDef is focused on company 1stSgt or Bn SgtMaj issues. All else is beyond him.

As Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied. CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades.

War Leaves Scars. Excerpt from my speech thanking the North Dakota Democratic-NPL for their endorsement for U.S. House.

This Armageddon BS from military leaders actually makes me more angry from my perspective as a Christian as a retired Marine Corps officer. Tying this rhetoric to Christianity and to the military damages both and is counter to any sane principle of theology or leadership.

@mattvanswol Matt needs gaslighting rehab.

So let me just get this straight... We know that Democrats are turning a blind eye to financial fraud and voter fraud... ...but the GOP will NOT PASS any voter ID laws BEFORE THE MIDTERMS????? CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!!!!!

@WhiteHouse I'll take "Zero Self-Awareness for $1000, Alex." Please tell me this is a parody account.

“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

@nilslofgren @azsweetheart013 Oh, great. Now my wife will be like, "Why can't you be sweet like Nils Lofgren, and when will you learn to play guitar?"

Dear ⁦@azsweetheart013⁩ Happiest Birthday to the Love n Light of my life. Magnificent soul n beauty, inside n out. Life has been Magic since I found you, Amy. Love always n Forever, Nils 💚🔥🎂🎶🐕🐕🐕

@azsweetheart013 Happy Birthday!

🌻Thank you lovely husband. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.

"If Donald hadn’t mentioned Melania’s steamed unmentionables at a North Carolina rally, this gift idea would never have occurred to me. Why it occurred to Trump during a speech about the economy remains one of the mysteries of the season and of dementia." trygvehammer.substack.com/p/come-a-littl…
