Twitter can suspend whoever it wants. It’s a private company. That’s how free markets work. Which is why I’m tired of the snowflake MAGA-Nation babies — like — complaining about pre-Musk Twitter rules. The alternative MAGA-whiners want is government control (Communism).

4/4 Immigrants like Rao and Suvo are hardworking, taxpaying members of our community. They contribute massively to our industries and they more than deserve congressional action to secure their futures here.

3/4 Similarly, Suvo a senior team member at a Fortune 500 Company, can't change jobs, travel abroad or start his own company, because of the green card backlog. Without a green card, his 6 yr old son will have to self-deport once he turns 21 because he can't be on his dad’s visa.

2/4 Rao, my constituent, came to California 10 yrs ago for a better life for his children—the U.S. is their home. Sadly, Rao & his family are in a state of uncertainty & fear deportation because the green card he applied for in 2015, is delayed due to the per-country quotas.

1/4 I’m disappointed that the EAGLE Act, a bill to make our employment-based visa system fairer, hasn't come for a vote in the House. Too many visa holders & their families are stuck in a green card backlog that arbitrarily discriminates against immigrants from certain countries.

Just comedy. runs chryon/headline: “Biden officials using Hatch Act to dodge questions.” That’s like saying, “Local man points to bank robbery statute as to why he can’t save more.” Sorry Fox, not every president is a dirty criminal.

3/4 Last week’s fusion experiment at NIF produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.
This historic, first-of-its kind achievement of releasing more energy out than put in, replicates a process that is only found in the sun and stars.

2/4 In the 1960s, scientists wanted to explore if lasers could be used to make fusion in a laboratory setting.
And after years of R&D, diagnostics, modeling, design, and simulation, Livermore Lab created NIF, the world’s largest and most energetic laser system.

Today is 10 years since Sandy Hook shooting. I find myself very emotional over horrific loss, and the fact that I was silent until I experienced loss from gun violence in Parkland. These names are the only thing to remember. I wish I never knew these families, but I love them.

I’ve given the “Twitter Files” some thought. A week later, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger group of babies. These guys want to tell gay couples that freedom allows a baker to refuse to make their wedding cake but a private social media company can’t kick users off. Please.

Why did you release thousands of terrorist prisoners as Secretary of State?
Quote Tweet
As Secretary, my approach for hostage negotiations was to get every American home, but not in a way that creates more Americans hostages.
I fear the Biden Administration fell dangerously short of this standard.

Be a man. You made a mistake that thousands of people called you out on. had nothing to do with the flag. Just delete the original tweet and move on. Are you so thirsty to “own a lib” that you’re going to double down on this self-humiliation?

Ah, I guess the trash can identifies as a “Vertical Moving Bin.” The fact that our flag was in a trash can for ANY reason & no one on your team thought to fix it is all I need to know.
