    Women are not the property of their State, so they can travel between them for any reason they damn well please.

    I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.

    Members of Congress elected on the very same ballots to which they plan to object on Jan 6 should refuse to be sworn-in tomorrow, for if Trump’s defeat isn’t legitimate, how can their victories be legitimate?

    I’m authoring a bill to ban campaign events and political party conventions from ever being held on the grounds of The White House again. Do I have any co-sponsors out there?

    If I was @realDonaldTrump and a newspaper uncovered that I pay almost no federal income tax & likely broke multiple laws, I’d do one of two things: If innocent, I’d authorize the release of my returns (and humiliate the press). If guilty, I’d ask @JoeBiden to take a drug test.

    It’s America. You can select any pronouns you damn well please. But Anthony Fauci has likely saved more human lives than any living person in the world. Shame on you.

    Like @AOC, I believe poverty to be a root cause of crime. Wonder why Rep. Yoho hasn’t accosted me on the Capitol steps with the same sentiment? #shameful

    If you take out a loan, you pay it back. Period.

    The irony that certain Members of Congress used proxy voting to vote AGAINST making voting easier for Americans is not lost on me.

    What should we do, you ask? We should subpoena the Postmaster immediately and afford him the opportunity to testify. If he won’t, you ask? The Sergeant at Arms can detain anyone found in contempt of Congress. We’ve abdicated too much, and this is too important and time sensitive.

    On January 6, 2021 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by its own president.

    Mark my words, last night will be better remembered not for the chaos, rather as the night Hakeem Jeffries introduced himself to America.

    A pretty remarkable speech if you’re pro-human.

    The Ukrainian Ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy. Appalling and reckless ignorance by two US Senators.
    Pres. Zelenskyy is currently addressing U.S. senators on a Zoom call this morning. Sens. Rubio and Daines just tweeted screenshots. More to come.
