Just cast my vote to expedite the delivery of security aid to Ukraine as they defend against Putin’s invasion. America stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, and I look forward to @POTUS signing this bill into law.

If I were Joe Biden I would simply tell inflation to go down while having no other effect on the economy, but he already rejected my advice to do a completely friction-free withdrawal from Afghanistan that would leave a stable democracy behind so

There was an attempted overthrow of American democracy. And it’s not over. They are organizing the next one, not as a secret conspiracy, but as a central organizing principle for the next election.

He won but by winning and doing a super popular and necessary right thing it was actually a loss because wait a second now I’m confused.

It’s not unconstitutional, @JasonMillerinDC, and neither is your child support. So pay it.
Jason Miller says “The president will not testify in an unconstitutional proceeding.”

In early 2017, Republicans ‘broke the filibuster rule’ to install a Trump-appointed right-wing Supreme Court justice after stonewalling President Obama’s moderate nominee for the best part of a year, and as far as I can tell they remain absolutely thrilled about doing it.
Democrats won’t agree not to break the filibuster rule in the Senate. This procedural radicalism won’t be the political winner the party imagines. on.wsj.com/2LSUfpS

Rep. Malliotakis went on Erin Burnett's show and tried to defend her vote against certifying Biden's election win. It didn't go great for her.

If Senate Republicans need, at some point in the future, to abolish the filibuster in order to increase their political power, they will. Doesn't matter if Democrats do it first.
