The Biden Admin so far:
-Prioritized international climate deals over American jobs.
-Considered vaccinating terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.
-Canceled immigration orders. Opened borders.

Don't understand the outrage here. This is common practice depending on an agency or a company's time & attendance policy. This practice allows the employee to continue to earn a paycheck rather than absent on Leave Without Pay.
Nothing to see here except coworker generosity.
Mike Johnson believes that, as a woman, you’re too dumb to take your reproductive healthcare decisions seriously so it’s up to middle-aged men to do it for you.

I labored hard on this. For me, saving the Republic is a higher calling than rebuliding the GOP. I'll start by replacing my House member Jim Jordan by putting faith in people over Party. The GOP is on their own to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.
In Ohio Congressional 4 (jim jordan) you have a chance to vote for decency over hate, lifting others up over tearing people down, and looking for solutions over looking to score cheap points.

Replacing Jim Jordan in Congress with someone who can break free from the partisan bickering and bring a truly independent voice to Congress for Ohio won’t be easy. I believe we can do it, but we can only do it together. Join me at .

, you broke it, you own it. You saw a chance to gain favor with the legislature by carrying their water. You even copied their ruse talking points. To look in the rear view mirror now and do a "shucky darn, golly ned", is disingenuous at best.
All,
I want to publicly apologize for every year, month, day, hour, minute, & second I spent in Republican leadership.
At 64, I hope to have a couple decades + to try to make that up to those around me and beyond.
This is a Party of autocratic disregard.

I'll respect your values as long as you keep them 'yours'. Once you try to legislate them upon me, all bets are off. She put herself out there as your surrogate.
She's now fair game.
Mike Johnson’s wife Kelly just responded after it was revealed her “Christian Counseling Services” compare gay people to bestiality and say sex out of wedlock “offends God.”
She said she “felt burdened for so many people” & says “God” made Mike Johnson Speaker. “It’s Biblical.”

I'll add how embarrassed I now am of the time I spent in local GOP leadership.
I vow to take the rest of my life to make that right.
I came to D.C. to work in the Reagan Administration because (to oversimplify) it was pro-Constitution, pro-U.S. global leadership, pro-military, pro-Israel, pro-democratic capitalism, and pro-American dream. And that's why I now support the Biden Administration and Democrats.

@MelissaJPeltier
Under the Trump administration the US budget deficit went from $534 billion to $3.3 trillion (CBO-FY16-20).
A President Biden closing loopholes for billionaires so they pay $1500 instead of $750 in fed tax seems reasonable to little 'ol me. But I'm just a farmer.
This will end up just like the Dayton dead Ohioans pink slip promise.
His next "oh golly gee whiz" will be "I tried but that General Assembly wouldn't budge"
Don't believe him.

A few things...
1) 1st Amd applies to government, not to private citizens/business
2) Trump was President in 2020 (govermnt)
3) J. Biden was private citizn in 2020 (not govmnt)
4) You, Trump, McCarthy, Jordan, & Elon are perverts for wanting Twitter to post Hunter dick pics

Funny how the GOP loves government intervention when it can be leveraged to inflict punishment, but decries government all other times.
God, you must think we're stupid..
1) The Keystone 'XL' never pumped oil
2) Keystone legacy never stopped pumping
3) Keystone pumps 100% foreign oil
4) Oil Co.s aren't 'not' drilling because of permits
5) Trump begged Putin & MBS to slow production in 2020.
6) Remember COVID?
This is a lie. Gas prices have been rising since the day Joe Biden took office and declared war on American energy.
If Biden was serious about lowering gas prices, he would reverse the block on new oil and gas leases and restart the Keystone Pipeline.
Ok, I've heard enough.....
