It was wonderful to be welcomed as a “class of our own” with @RepPatRyanNY and freshmen members of the 118th Congress at the White House yesterday. We're excited to work together for the American people

Kevin McCarthy won’t join NY GOP leaders who are calling on Santos to resign. Says it’s up to the voters. “He has to answer to the voters,” he told reporters. If Santos were to resign, it would set up a special election in a NY district that could flip to the Democrats

George Santos has blatantly lied about his entire life and record; there is ZERO basis for entrusting him with access to highly classified information.
That’s why I’m demanding @SpeakerMcCarthy safeguard our national security and block Santos’ access until he is properly vetted.

The fact that Republicans are whipping votes to get enough votes (barely) to not do their job is very telling.

In terms of NY, and outperformed Hochul while Dem nominees in nearby winnable districts lost or came closer than they should’ve. These two beat the Zeldin effect and their camps should be given a lot of credit. Props to and Skoufis’ team!

George Santos says he will be honest now. He will be effective now.
Bullshit.
When people show you who they are, believe them. George Santos is a liar, willing to cater to white nationalists and hate-filled bigots to bolster his political ambitions. (1/3)

Thanks, , for the help and inspiration in pouring over FEC reports. I'm sure if she did this it would be better but she's on a flight so I got here first.

Well anyways, it's late and I have sleep to recover. There needs to be a full accounting of the campaign filings, bank accounts, and expenditures. Reporters should go through the FEC reports with a fine toothcomb in the meantime.

Giving money to Kristi Noem and Blake Masters is just objectively hilarious, as it makes literally 0 sense. RJC-PAC is hilarious, given the fallout of his admission that he is not Jewish. The rest of these donations are weird and strange. This is not what good campaigns do

I don't know many things in life, but having run tight campaigns I know that my budget for donations to other campaigns is $0. Not the Santos campaign. Here are the donations they made to other candidates/groups ranked by how strange/funny I find them:

286 Uber and 123 Delta transactions are just insane. The Ubers were in addition to several expenses for owning a car. Also, how many flights is that?!?! Again, moving on.

1. Uber - 286 times
2. Delta - 123 times
3. Campaigns Unlimited - 41 times
4. Exxon (Whitestone Location) - 36 times

Given the lies we've seen, I'd love to have someone go through and ask these companies if the Santos campaign worked with them at these rates.

2. $147,118 to Big Dog Strategies LLC
3. $98,008 Campaigns Unlimited

Though there is no definition of a "Scam PAC," if I saw these numbers on a PAC, I would call it one and advise everyone to not give to it. Now shifting to who he spent his money with!

If you assume this finance reporting is accurate (I don't), it's INSANE! Good campaigns would never let Advertising (AKA: communicating your message to voters) dip below 70% of their budget & spending more on fundraising than paid comms is wild.

🧵Being the person that I am (weird), I decided to my time off to dive into George Santos' FEC reports to get a better understanding of how he spent his $$$, especially the $700k that he "loaned the campaigned." Note I don't think he actually did. Here is what I found:

Congress gave the airlines billions to keep them afloat during Covid. With that money they still furloughed pilots and crew. They have been playing catch up since. needs to answer a lot of questions. The arrogance of the airlines needs to stop.
