I keep seeing the same absurd claim going around on social media—that the omnibus is not so bad because it’s not a budget. This is totally backward. The omnibus is law; a budget is not. A bad budget is irresponsible but toothless. The omnibus (spending bill) does the real damage.

Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy.

And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies.

Take a stand today. Be honest with yourself and with others. Don't let the lie consume you. We live in a great country with great people. We can choose to live together in liberty or instead live apart in captivity.

Rep. Amash is correct there will be no repurposing of money in the Omnibus for things like the border wall. Saying the Omnibus is OK because
@realDonaldTrump@POTUS will repurpose is wishful thinking at best and an outright lie at worst - 1 more reply

How about uniting as one team to make hard choices. GOP is scatter brain right now and we are not happy voters. Senate is the worst. Hope to change that in Nov.

Repeal or redesign the 16th Amendment. There should be no direct withholding of federal taxes from payroll. Require the people 2 write a check every month 2 the Treasury 4 taxes. You would see a whole new level of fiscal conservatism & accountability. The people would demand it.

I appreciate your defense of liberty and calls for fiscal responsibility. But why are you not calling out Trump for not defending the country from Russian cyber attacks? And for Trump embarrassing the Office of the President?
