Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!
If members of Congress can go on self imposed quarantine and still get paid. It only makes sense that Congress should pass emergency laws to give paid sick leave to every American until this emergency is over.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
Please just stop.. unless you are willing to break the filibuster to actually pass sensible gun control measures you might as well just say “thoughts and prayers”
We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless tragedy unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Texas and grateful to the first responders for acting swiftly. No families should ever have to fear violence in their children's schools.

Sen. Tom Cotton on Iran: "The intelligence committee has been getting regular daily updates for at least a week now about the multiple and credible sources of increased threats in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf from Iran."
Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq.
Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!
You literally voted in the Armed Services Committee to arm the Ukrainians. I was there a few seats down from you. This “policy” was voted on by the House, Senate and signed by President Trump.
Now let me tell you what Jared did to get in to Harvard. His parents paid millions of dollars to get him there. So I won’t take lectures about who wants to succeed more from a man who couldn’t do it without $$ from his parents.
I was trying to figure what type of pen to stab your friends with if they overran us on the floor of the House of Representatives while trying to conduct a democratic transition of power. So please shut your seditious, Qanon loving mouth when it comes to who loves America.

Russian Politician Calls for Kidnapping of U.S. Congressman on Live TV:
“This is how we should be dealing with these bastards,” the Russian lawmaker said after advocating for the abduction of Rep. Ruben Gallego over his recent comments on Ukraine.
You literally ask for billions of dollars from the government in the Defense Budget every year. SpaceX is the literal vendor for the so called “corporation with the monopoly on violence.”
1. You just don’t want to pay more taxes
2. You don’t want competition for Tesla.
I have suggested the same thing that

has poverty & unemployment lead to crime. Weird neither Yoho or any other member has ever talked to me that way.
In an exchange reported by
@RealMikeLillis
, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla) told
@AOC
she was "disgusting" for suggesting poverty/unemployment driving a spike in crime in NYC.
They parted. "Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular."
'Fucking bitch.'"
Kyrsten Sinema hasn’t held a town hall in Arizona for years. Instead, she flies to Switzerland for a town hall with the rich and powerful. Not a Joke!
I haven't made a decision on running, but I'm one step closer today. If you're with me, chip in here:
Please stop donating to my campaign. I am a safe seat member. If you want to donate please donate to the Biden campaign. Also please donate to the United Negro College Fund..
New Georgia law, among other things, makes it a criminal offense to bring food and/or water to voters waiting in line.
Georgia Governor is signing this travesty on anniversary of culmination of historic Selma to Montgomery March of 1965.
I understand guns. I learned about them in the Marines and in war. Who cares what you call the weapon? In the wrong hands, it ends a child's life just the same.
Hey Lefties, “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle.” It stands for “ArmaLite rifle.” You want to take our guns but you don’t know jack about guns. See the problem?
Every vote counted, every voice heard. That’s how our democracy works.
It may take some time for the results to be finalized, so in the meantime, let’s stay patient. Democracy is always worth the wait.
I work out everyday in a CrossFit gym that is open.
With people.
Gyms are small businesses that have been devastated by the government mandated shut downs.
In DC, NOTHING is open bc of Democrat tyrannical control.

As ten of thousands of Afghan refugees are beginning to flood our states, it’s important to analyze what could be in store, and why strict vetting is so important.
“Afghans stand out among the refugees committing crimes in Austria and elsewhere.”
Still true two years later. President Biden can’t cancel student loan debt, he’s just transferring it.
What is his justification to those who didn’t go to college or have already worked hard to pay off their debt?
ATROCIOUS big pharma price gouging of insulin:
This crying mother can’t afford the $1000 for her son’s insulin.
📌yet, it only costs pharma $5 to produce.

Let that sink in.

Just got off the phone with leadership. We are returning to DC on the 28th to vote for the NDAA over ride and to add $1400 for a total $2000 per person to the stimulus. If the Senate and President concurs we can have $2k checks in your hand by next week.

I have have the same security clearance as you do. Can you have your office arrange for a classified briefing for members to see where this info derived from?

No.... we are the essential workers that were forced to go to work. We pulled the food, slaughtered the animals, packaged the food that fed America. They did it at barely minimum wage and went back homes to big families under one roof bc that is all they could afford.
GOP senator blames Hispanics for their high rate of coronavirus cases and deaths, says they don't social-distance or wear masks enough despite data showing they comply more than white people
Not knowing anyone that went to Harvard let along college, I looked up students in the student directory. I called anyone that had a Latino sounding name and left messages. A few returned my calls and helped guide me to get ready to apply for college. Thank you Gus!
Two years from now, or 20 years, or 50 years, another President will act in a way that enrages his/her opposition and impeachment will be sought. Every day, every hour the President remains in office is a risk to the republic, they will say.
My freshman year of HS. I realized that the only way college was gonna happen was that first I had to do well on my exams. So I started buying used prep exam books and copying exams from the library. The school librarian is a close friend to this day. (Thanks Mrs. Conley)
You literally flagged the camera man. First rule of weapons handling, treat every weapon as if it were loaded. Second rule, never point the weapon at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
I have just one message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one?
Come and take it.

Accepted!! I also was lucky to have a supportive Mom and sisters that encouraged me the whole way. They did countless things to make it happen. Thank you familia!
BTW I sit on the House VA Committee. If you paid attention at the briefings you would know that the American Rescue Plan has billions for homelessness or I don’t know you could introduce legislation to help 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ to date you haven’t written one VA homelessness related bill
The Biden Admin just dropped $86 Million dollars to get hotel rooms for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS yet we have zero dollars going to our homeless veterans who are at a high risk of suicide.
UNACCEPTABLE. UNAMERICAN.
My interviewer hadn’t ever had an applicant take public transportation to see her. Was surprised when I told her I was taking it back home. She was kind enough to drop me off at the CTA stop.

I am a dad, an Iraq War veteran, and the first in my family to attend college.
We are only 6K followers away from 200K. Will you help us get there by making a plan to RT and follow?
Calls for unity from Republicans are inauthentic until they stop spreading the lie that there was massive fraud in this Presidential election. Tell the people the truth it was a free and fair election and President Elect Biden was duly elected. That is the first step to unity.
Senior year! I am might be the only student to apply to Harvard using money orders but did it. Use a friends computer to apply (thank you Kobelt family) Figure our how to do estimated taxes, to do the FAFSA.
Az Latino vote delivered! This was a 10 year project. You tried to bury us with SB1070 you didn’t realize we were seeds and ten years later we would grow to fight back.

I was lucky enough to have a job that let me practice my tests in between flipping burgers. (Thank you Steve and Souzy’s) I used that money to pay for extracurriculars that would look good on a college resume. Even went to Greece on exchange.

I was chairing a classified briefing. Members had to leave to vote and missed information that can only be shared at that briefing. These tantrums have consequences.
Dear Rep
@mtgreenee
: Congratulations on making your first random motion to adjourn! Can you feel the power? You get to force all Members to show up on the floor. The downside of course is that it’s a waste of time and taxpayers money for us to vote on stupid, nonsensical motions.
You know as an officer we can bring you back into service to charge you... hahahah love being on the Armed Services Committee. Also wondering if you have a pension, I mean had a pension.
I start the interview process. First interview was on the North side of Chicago at 630pm. My mom works to 5pM downtown she won’t make it back in time to drive. I leave school early take the bus to the CTA, take blue line out, take another bus than walk the last mile.
Arizona: You’ve been neglected by Washington for far too long. I’m sorry that your Senator, Kyrsten Sinema, has let you down.
But I’m going to change that. We’re going all across the state – to rural counties, to tribal nations – to talk to you and your family. JOIN US:
I stand with Democracy in Brazil. Any Brazilian official using Florida or any state in the US as a staging ground for a coup should be deported and handed over to Brazilian authorities.
To people like Trump I will never be American enough. So if you wonder why I give no inch to these racists, now you know. Nothing will ever satisfy them, all we can do is stop them.
Junior year I intensified my practice exams added more AP exams, became Student Council President, had my after school job as well as other extracurriculars.
Joe Biden continues to put America LAST by shipping pallets of baby formula to the southern border as American families face empty shelves.
This is unacceptable.

The DC vaccine mandate kicks in this weekend. My office will not comply. We will not show papers. We will not order takeout from restaurants that require papers for dine in. We will get our food from Virginia or we will bring it to work. Shame has befallen our nation’s capital.

@RubenGallego
Ruben, honest question, how do we as a party improve our work with the LatinX community across the country as well as we've done in AZ? Its so frustrating to see so many republican LatinX voters, but I know its on people like me to help convince them dems are the place to be.
Arizona just got through a brutal election season – I think we all could use a break.
As I did with infrastructure, tribal water security, drought relief, LGBTQ+ rights, Chips, and so much more, I’m going to keep making good on my promise to deliver real results for our state.
DC is completely dead tonight. People stayed in and were scared to go out because of fear of riots.
Police are everywhere and have riot gear.
#BLM
is the strongest terrorist threat in our county.
Good to see Ruben Gallego venture out of his D+50 district, the last time he did that was to chair the “Eric Swalwell for President” campaign. Ruben’s scandals do not include sleeping with a Chinese spy, so he will probably do better than Swalwell’s 1%.
As ranking member of the committee that has oversight on Puerto Rico should Dems win the majority my first act as Chairman will be to have hearings in DC and Puerto Rico as well as the Virgin Islands.
