The results of my subpoena of Congress’s sexual harassment slush fund are in.
Nine members. One thousand pages.
All records prior to 2004 were destroyed - which tells you everything you need to know about how long this has been buried.
We are reviewing every page. We will name all nine. We will release the full 1,000 pages - once we confirm that personally identifiable information of victims and witnesses has been properly redacted.
Accountability is not a threat. It is a promise.
@LeaderJohnThune How can we replace Thune? All he does is get on a podium and make sounds come out of his mouth. Nothing meaningful. All we want is the SAVE act. Like all of us. On both sides. And he just keeps talking and running out the clock. It feels criminal.
The enormity of what Democrats have opted for cannot be understated.
No one to stop dangerous individuals from making their way into our country, and no one to catch and deport these dangerous individuals if they do make it in.
As long as Republicans are in charge, we’re going to do everything we can to protect our borders and keep dangerous criminal illegal aliens off our streets.
@elonmusk Amazing. The only flaw I can see is the coffee level in the cup does not seem effected by the additional coffee being poured in.
The face of the lady pouring the coffee is extremely realistic and the mouth-sync to the audio is incredibly good. Very well done @xai team.
@ankoromochuu Actually no. Our love of Japan is primarily from your videogame contributions, architecture, culture (respect for others and elders), the enigma of the samurai, and anime
I just woke up to an email from @podbean stating that they are discontinuing my ability to monetize my podcast. No explanation. I spent six years building my podcast on their platform and it is apparently all gone.
To all podcasters: Is there a seamless way to switch to another podcasting platform that allows me to migrate my existing 972 episodes?
@BernieSanders How much we wanna bet literally none of these things actually happen (either at all or at the levels stated) and then the tax gets expanded to more people and then everyone over time?
My 5% billionaire wealth tax will raise $4.4 trillion to:
✔ Give $3,000 to everyone in a household making $150,000 or less
✔ Build 7 million homes & apartments
✔ Enact a $60,000 minimum teacher salary
✔ Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing
And much more...

@RepLuna@LeaderJohnThune please stop the theatrics traveling to states and doing photo ops with agriculture people and asking how much is saved in taxes, and get this VERY IMPORTANT thing done.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@RepMarkPocan Here's an idea: Make it less expensive or free for citizens to acquire a passport.
No reason to give up our sovereignty over this. Some things are just too important.
There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.
You’d need:
1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.
I’m voting NO.
It matters because Bitcoiners derail discussion of alternative cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is taking up all the oxygen in the room. That’s especially bad if it’s already compromised.
This post isn’t about Bitcoin being broken, it’s about the discussion being broken.
We need a secure, decentralized, denationalized cryptocurrency.
The problem with discussing Bitcoin in this context: It is impossible to distinguish those who believe in it and are therefore invested, from those who are invested in it and therefore believe.
One day before Steve Witkoff meets with the demon Aragchi in Oman for a lovely chitchat, the regime has executed 15 Iranians.
Witkoff told Trump "the killings have stopped",
And Trump believed him.
I truly don’t see the value in this.
The world knows Iran will never honor any treaty.
The last treaty with Iran led to 900 pounds near weapon-grade enriched uranium.
Today, House Republicans once again delivered real, positive results. While Democrats pushed for yet another prolonged government shutdown, our Republican majority worked together and got the job done — funding 11 of 12 appropriations bills and restoring regular order for the first time in years.
As a result, 96% of the federal government is now funded. Republicans are continuing the work to pass the final bill to fund Homeland Security, which provides the vital resources for TSA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA — as communities recover from winter storms.
Americans deserve good-faith negotiations and a responsibly funded government — and Republicans are leading the way.
The DHS bill needs to focus on protecting and ensuring that the law enforcement officers in this country are able to effectively function and do what the American people expect them to do.
@RepLuna@SenSchumer your doublespeak is really annoying. we are not stupid. we can all see clearly what you are up to in trying to get non citizens the ability to influence our elections. It's terrifying.
Chuck Schumer is not the president, and he is not the leader of the majority. He is attempting to race-bait half the country into thinking that voter ID is racist. Meanwhile, his party pushed the American people to carry cards during COVID-19 to prove vaccination status simply to exist in society.
DON’T GET IT TWISTED: VOTER ID WILL SAVE THIS COUNTRY. @SenSchumer
@SenFettermanPA You've had some decent takes lately. This is not one of them. The man was armed, shouting insults, kicking vehicles, and begging for an altercation. This incident is not on the heads of ICE leadership at all.
In the past 24 hours, ICE apprehended the very worst, including child rapists.
ICE is essential in deporting criminal migrants in our country.
The agency needs new leadership, significant reforms and the oversight to prevent another calamity like Minneapolis.
