The Senate’s defense bill ended up pretty lousy - failed to do right by our service members wrongly kicked out over the #covid vaccine & was full of climate garbage - BUT one thing I’m delighted about is we got the duck boats bill passed, after 3+ years of work

House Republicans are ready to send a bill to President Biden's desk that would ban TikTok on government devices.
Speaker Pelosi—who claims to be tough on China—should immediately allow an up-or-down vote.

Good advice. Let the new Republican majority negotiate a new budget - no last minute spending bill written by Dems & stuffed with goodies
Quote Tweet
C) McCarthy on omnibus spending bill: Why would you go spend and create a baseline of $100 billion more when you’re about to take the majority?..We’d have greater strength come after January 3. I would say do a short term CR and then let us go and have these negotiations.

16 months after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal that left 13 servicemembers dead - including Jared Schmitz from MO - still NO accountability, NO answers. And the Democrats want to pretend nothing happened. Business as usual. I’m not going along with that

41. Meanwhile, there are multiple instances of involving pro-Biden tweets warning Trump “may try to steal the election” that got surfaced, only to be approved by senior executives. This one, they decide, just “expresses concern that mailed ballots might not make it on time.”

Did deliberately suppress the speech of a candidate for president, without basis - here’s the answer
Quote Tweet
36. “VERY WELL DONE ON SPEED” Trump was being “visibility filtered” as late as a week before the election. Here, senior execs didn’t appear to have a particular violation, but still worked fast to make sure a fairly anodyne Trump tweet couldn’t be “replied to, shared, or liked”:

Anyone denying that Twitter censored to protect Dems and suppress conservatives is a lying fraud.
Just go listen to @yoyoel or Vijaya Gadde, etc. They're #Resistance cartoons, sound like they stepped out of a Yale gender ideology seminar.
Of course they censored to help Dems.
