It's sometimes difficult to separate fact from fiction, truth from falsehood. Try Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit." You can test ideas, avoid fallacies, and operate in a more fact-based world. via @brainpickings brainpickings.org/2014/01/03/bal…

@ProbSolveCaucus I applaud the effort. My question is how do we keep museums independent and free of political influence (from either party). The current administration doesn’t appear to value clear-eyed historical accuracy.

We endorsed the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act to secure a permanent home for a Women’s History Museum on the National Mall. Today, on National Women’s Equality Day, we urge Congress to pass this bill to ensure that women's contributions to American history are properly preserved and celebrated in the heart of our nation's capital.

@ProbSolveCaucus This caucus had the opportunity to make a difference and chose inaction. Please don’t claim to care about debt burden and cross-party solutions, while voting for a bill that will increase the deficit and add more debt.

As students head back to school, here’s a reminder: The next generation will inherit more than $37 trillion in debt if we do nothing. That’s not leadership, it’s negligence. The way to solve this problem isn’t by assigning blame, it’s by taking responsibility. The Problem Solvers are working across the aisle to develop serious, actionable recommendations to stabilize our country’s finances long-term.

@ProbSolveCaucus @repgabeevans @RepScottPeters It would be terrific if you can clarify what “cutting environmental corners” means today. The current administration seems to misunderstand the #ClimateCrisis and Congress has failed to act.

Republicans and Democrats agree: the permitting system is broken. We’re building a permitting reform package that cuts red tape without cutting environmental corners.

I would like reinforce the @ProbSolveCaucus message: working across parties to govern this great country. Can I get commitment from @TheDemocrats and @GOP to do just that? Let’s avoid partisan bickering and needless “investigations” that simply distract. #PleaseLead

#MI04 needs a new representative. It's clear that @RepBillHuizenga does not have our best interests in mind. The recently passed tax & spend bill will not control spending and add $3Tn to the debt. It's not good for SW Michigan and it's not good for the United States.

When a large employer pays so little that their full time employees qualify for Medicaid , (or any public assistance ) we the taxpayers are effectively subsidizing that big company. That’s wrong

Insightful research, as always, from @USAFacts on the IRS' cost to collect taxes. It may or may not be as much as you think, though currently sits at just $0.34 per $100: usafacts.org/articles/what-…
