My former political party fights the culture wars every day. Democrats avoid the fight, ceding this turf to Republicans. That’s a mistake. Most Americans agree with Democrats on these culture war issues. So instead of dismissing the culture wars, Democrats need to engage & fight.

Right-wing extremists stuck Americans with trillions of dollars in debt on failed wars and tax cuts for the super wealthy.
We will not be lectured about fiscal responsibility by this crowd.

REMINDER: Social Security cannot by law add even a penny to the deficit.
Any proposal to cut Social Security benefits as a means of deficit reduction is just a ploy to steal your earned benefits!

Remember when and voted against Russian sanctions? Remember Pauls’s former aide pardoned by Trump for funneling Russian money into 2016 election? Remember the Deripaska ‘investment’ in the aluminum plant in KY? And Paul delivering a ‘letter’ to Moscow?

Folks, House Republicans are telling us they want to pass legislation that would help wealthy tax cheats, hike taxes on working families with a 23% sales tax, and block actions to lower prices at the pump.
We can do better than that.

Man, if you're mad about poor people getting some pittance of your tax dollars to buy food so their kids don't go hungry...
...you're going to be PISSED when you find out about bank bailouts, the defense industry, oil subsidies, farm subsidies, and tax breaks to the mega rich.

Did you sleep through the trump administration where he blew a giant hole in revenue collection with a tax cut for billionaires that they didn’t need (and some didn’t want)?

As down as I get at times, as angry as I get, and as exhausted as I get fighting this fight almost nonstop, I do remind myself every single day of this very important truth: There are more people in this country who support democracy than there are people who support Trumpism.

For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.

House Republicans are on a mission to end wasteful Washington spending.
From now on, if a federal bureaucrat wants to spend it, they have to come before us to defend it.

And the thousands of heterosexual couples and single ppl who abuse children?
Seriously, that story is tragic but it doesn’t describe every homosexual couple anymore than all the terrible things heterosexuals do to children describes all heterosexual parents.
You’re pathetic.

House Republicans chose to start their term attempting to cut taxes for billionaires, raise taxes on working families, and make inflation worse.
All the challenges we face, and that's their pick.

Got all my childhood vaccinations. Had all the vaccinations in bootcamp. Had even more before I deployed. I received my shingles vaccination five years ago. Had the series of Pfizer COVID vaccinations and three boosters. The only “side effects” I’ve had is not being sick.

Forbes reports China paid Trump about $5.4M, while he was in office, for vacant office space in Trump tower. At the beginning of his term Trump sold a $15.8M penthouse to Xiao Yan Chen who has been directly linked to a front group for Chinese military intelligence.

Reagan would have remembered he is from California and would have stepped up during the greatest weather disaster the state has ever seen. You haven’t said a word about it. No moment of silence on the House Floor for the scores dead. Nothing. Because it’s all about Qevin.

In 2011, Oklahoma Democrat Gov Brad Henry handed Repub Gov Mary Fallin a state ranked 17 in Public Education.
After 8 years of Fallin & 4 of Repub Gov Kevin Stitt we rank 48 in Public Education.
17 to 48 after 12 years of Republican under-funding, privatizing & culture wars.

Nancy Pelosi, one of the strongest Speakers in recent history, is today back representing the 11th district of California in the House. She’s been replaced as Speaker by Kevin McCarthy from the 20th district of California, who will be one of the weakest Speakers in history.

This was my dear friend, Arthur. He died at the age of 24 in 2015. His heart went into cardiac arrest while playing recreational soccer. This happened before the vaccines and will continue after. Please stop spreading misinformation and learn CPR… you could save someone’s life.

A block of House Republicans should get together with Democrats to pick a speaker to run a coalition government, which will moderate the House and marginalize the extremists.

Republicans right now are helping Dems win control of the House in 2024. But here's the thing: Gaetz, Boebert, & co. don't care about control of the House. In fact, they'd prefer Dems were in control. They prefer to be in the minority. They prefer to have an opposition to fight.
