@SenFettermanPA @giselefetterman @UPMC You were the wrong choice for Dems from then start. I’m glad people are finally seeing it. We’d have been much better off with Lamb.

20 stitches later and a full recovery, I’m back home with @giselefetterman and the kids. I’m overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes. Truly. Grateful for @UPMC for the incredible medical care that put me back together. THANK YOU SO MUCH. See you back in DC.

@InspectrGagIt Clearly jealous of your incredible hairline. 😘

Made a post about loving my body and people called my forehead big!!! They were right of course but it still hurt

@ReasonPete @RepNancyMace I believe the correct term is right wing cunt.

@RepNancyMace So you're not even going to apologize for falsely accusing trans people of killing Charlie Kirk? What an evil soulless fuck you are

We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil, and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ. We will try to do the same.

@RepNancyMace That sounds dangerously close to empathy, and we know Charlie wouldn’t have wanted that. You’re a piece of, Lady. And now you’re calling for the death penalty…is that what Jesus would have done?

@lisamurkowski 80 years ago in Europe you’d have been known as a collaborator.

This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.   My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.   We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.   Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.   To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.   In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.   But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.   My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

@lisamurkowski If it needed more work, you never should have voted for it. You are spineless.

@lisamurkowski Another profile in courage. Shameful. If you had stood up to block the bill it would have forced them to go back and retool it to hurt fewer Americans, whatever their state. You’re helping govern an entire country, not a single state. Act like it.

@SenMcCormickPA A real profile in courage. You got yours, right? Freaking carpetbagger.

I am proud to support this bill because it would deliver continued tax relief to millions of Pennsylvania families and prevent the largest tax increase in American history. This bill also delivers on many of the promises that both President Trump and I made – to secure our nation’s border and bolster our national defense to keep Americans safe, and to unleash American energy potential and lower costs for consumers.   Pennsylvania’s families and workers will see significant benefits from this bill – from an increase to the Child Tax Credit to making permanent the doubling of the standard deduction and the Employer Paid Family and Medical Leave tax credit. Most importantly, this bill stops the largest tax increase in American history by making the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, saving the average Pennsylvania family $2,500 each year while also giving workers no tax on tips and no tax on overtime. Finally, we made a positive step forward on school choice.   No bill is perfect, but these provisions will make a real difference in the lives of people working hard to make ends meet and raise their families across the Commonwealth. I also believe that the historic investments in the border, law enforcement, and defense will benefit all Pennsylvanians in the coming years, as will the important provisions that will unleash Pennsylvania energy.   There’s still work to be done to get this bill to the President’s desk, but I am glad the Senate has moved it forward.

@Pro__Trading @ABC You’re either stupid it deliberately obtuse.

@ABC Their own daughter is ashamed to be an Obama? Wow.

Former first lady Michelle Obama said she and her husband, Barack, respect their daughter Malia dropping her last name in professional projects — and praised how both of their daughters "want to be their own people." abcnews.link/E58qFD3

@JoshuaCotham Happy birthday, you handsome, handsome man! 💜

Hi it’s my birthday. Say nice things to me

@SecRubio @POTUS @UN It could not be clearer that you have sold your soul, if indeed you ever had one.

.@POTUS is committed to ending the Russia-Ukraine war. On Monday, three years since the Russia-Ukraine war, the U.S. will propose to the United Nations a landmark resolution the entire @UN membership should support in order to chart a path to peace. state.gov/the-un-must-ac…

@DonaldJTrumpJr Meanwhile your father was looking into pardoning himself. Get back in your clown car and fuck all the way off.

He doesn’t have to accept the pardon. If he did nothing wrong be a man and turn it down… But you know he won’t because everyone knows he’s guilty of so much.

@RepBrandonGill And that’s securing the boarder and reducing inflation how exactly? Stop being a dick and get to work.

Congratulations Congressman!

@sarandon_chris @WVEducation @WestVirginiaU @WVtourism @wvprosperity That is really awesome! Is it still there? Maybe you could tape a segment there for the podcast.

2025 is the 100 Anniversary of the establishment of my father’s restaurant, The Eatwell Cafe, in Beckley, West Virginia, where I worked from 9 years old until I left home for college at 18. The experience working there is one of the main reasons I created my podcast, Cooking By Heart, where my guests and I revisit the vivid memories of the food we grew up with, and, more importantly, of the people and stories attached to that time in our lives. #eatwell #eatwellcafe #chrissarandon #chrissarandonfans #food #foodie #cookingbyheart #centennial #100anniversary #beckley #westvirginia #beckleywv #2025 #happynewyear #freshstart #herewego #memories

@plotweaver @DKBuddyChrist @clairecmc That has never been my experience in either New York or Pennsylvania. They ask for an address every single time.

Downright idiotic. Has she never voted? Does she not understand how we conduct elections in America? I’ve heard stupid before but this is beyond stupid.

@sarandon_chris “Bring out your dead!”

Seen at a neighborhood Halloween display being set up: a couple of skeletons patiently awaiting their turn.  Provide your own caption! #skeleton #spookyseason #jackskellington #halloween #halloweendecor #chrissarandon

@TheRealJGleason I’m sure a lot of Nazis had beautiful blue eyes as well, but this gay wouldn’t have voted for any of them either.

@MikeCrispi Mike, tell me you’re a total douchebag without saying you’re a total douchebag.

THIS is how you receive public praise from your father. Very demure. Barron Trump is the future. Tim Walz’s children are nobody’s going nowhere.

@C__Allen Oh Happy Day!!

next time is here!!! — Jim @JimSmithArt
