    This is crazy, and makes me angry. David was a part of @MittRomney's @SecretService detail in 2012 and served with honor and distinction, along with all of the other agents who put their lives on the line every single day.

    That @SenShelby interview with @jaketapper on Sunday ends up being pretty consequential...over 22k voters followed his lead and wrote someone in on their ballots in the #AlabamaSenateRace tonight.

    Well, now, that's awkward...

    He’s absolutely right about the way @WHO botched things. Reform is needed. More from me on this soon.
    The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?

    (1/2) A report from federal prosecutors in LA concluded that a single EDD employee cost the state over $1.6 million in fraudulent payments. Yet no one is talking about this incident and the massive corruption that cost taxpayers as much as $30 billion.

    I’m excited to announce my campaign for CA State Controller. We need a fighter as Controller who will be a check on the one-party monopoly in Sacramento, expose fraud & waste in government, & ensure we can account for every penny our state spends. Join me! bit.ly/3yubu3m

    The fact that she's not over 50% on the eve of the election suggests that @JohnJamesMI has a real opportunity to close strong with undecided voters...

    In 2012, he wasn't merely misjudged, he was smeared and many of his words were scornfully and hatefully mocked by people who laud him today. He's the same man now as he was then.
    A good man was misjudged by too many Democrats in 2012. You can disagree with many of his policy views (as I do) but you should never lose sight that some people in public life have sterling character. (Of course, none of this applies to Trump enablers).

    Newsom's executive actions are admissions that the two laws they target--CEQA and the California Coastal Act--need to be completely overhauled. If they can be so easily waived in times of emergency, why should Californians have to deal with the regulatory headaches they cause

    I am grateful for your support and look forward to the general election campaign ahead. On to November!

    I see the divisions regarding @realDonaldTrump's decision to withhold funding to @WHO. This really shouldn't be a partisan issue. The group is badly broken and reform is the least we can do. Re-posting my @WSJopinion piece on the subject

    As the son of immigrants from Taiwan, my heart aches for this loss of life and senseless attack on those in my community gathered in worship. I marvel at Dr. John Cheng's heroism in the face of hatred, and am thankful for the quick response of @OCSheriff @OCFireAuthority.
    HERO DOCTOR: Dr. John Cheng of Orange County is being hailed a hero for tackling the gunman involved in a church shooting in Laguna Woods. "Without the actions of Dr. Cheng, it is no doubt that there would be numerous additional victims in this crime." 🙏🏼 abc7.la/3yGmFcv

    The Fauci guidance is 14 days of declining cases. That's a far more reasonable approach than Newsom's standard of 14 days without a single death. Either way, I don't see LA County being shut through August.
