- After reading the opinion piece in the @washingtonpost about aborting babies with Down syndrome, I struggled to put into words how offensive it is. Thread...
- Stories from home→ “I’m getting $47.98 more than I had in the past. Which is about $1200 a year. For me, they’re not crumbs. It’s more money for me put food on the table. I’m so happy I wanted to tell everybody, the whole world, that these tax cuts work.” #TaxCutDay
- My son Cole brings my family joy every single day. He’s a great big brother and an awesome son. He happened to be born with an extra 21st chromosome, and his life is worth living. Watch my full interview from this morning on @foxandfriends.
00:00 - It’s heartbreaking that extreme party politics just superseded the principle of basic human dignity. With technology today, we can look into the womb and we can see the development of the baby day-by-day. It’s the most amazing thing in the world. 1/2Senate Democrats have blocked @SenSasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which prohibits allowing newborn infants to die. Get all the details on tonight’s events on the Senate floor, along with what comes next, in my latest at @NRO: nationalreview.com/corner/senate-…
- In China, personal privacy is “an afterthought.” I say it's not even a consideration. The Chinese Communist Party is using this pandemic to expand state monitoring and control of its citizens.
- Insane. China— which is currently oppressing at least a million Uighurs in concentration camps— is appointed to a UN panel to oversee arbitrary detention & freedom of speech. That’s a million reasons alone (w/ plenty more) why the CCP can’t be trusted to oversee human rights..@townhallcom quotes UNW: “It’s absurd for the UN to allow China’s oppressive regime a key role in selecting officials who shape international human rights standards,” said Hillel Neuer of UN Watch. “It's like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief.” townhall.com/tipsheet/leahb…
- My prayers are w/ #Charlottesville. Let's unite in standing against white supremacy and bigoted violence-it's repulsive & has no place here.
- Don't be fooled by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda. 🚨U.S. intel has confirmed we cannot trust China’s data on the coronavirus.🚨 "China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, under-reporting both total cases & deaths..."BREAKING: China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, under-reporting both total cases and deaths it’s suffered from the disease, the U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report to the White House trib.al/WoXJBtn
- 🚨 Big Tech can no longer be allowed to hide behind Section 230. Today @Jim_Jordan and I released our solution to remove Big Tech altogether from section 230 and hold them accountable for censoring Americans.
- The @CDCgov was influenced by the teachers unions to keep schools closed and used unreliable studies to justify mask mandates on kids. We know these weren’t decisions based on the best science and data from across the world. Now, our children are paying the price.
00:00 - 🚨 I’m introducing the American Energy Independence from Russia Act that would require @POTUS to make an energy security plan that unleashes America’s oil production to offset Russian imports. We shouldn’t be filling Putin's war chest when we can produce energy here.
- When only 3 percent of Americans say they completely trust the government to do the right thing, that’s a crisis of confidence that cannot be ignored. Congress must do its part to rebuild trust in our democracy.
