Oh geez. Now we Californians have to choose between Katie Porter, Adam Schiff & maybe Barbara Lee for Senator (I strongly suspect Feinstein will retire). These are among the very best legislators in America.
We also have to worry about keeping Porter’s swing seat. This sucks.

I’m not a Democrat. I’m a conservative former Republican. was wrong to remove & from their committees. And he’d be wrong to remove from her committee. McCarthy knows this, but he’s ruled by his MAGA members, who demand revenge.

Let’s be clear: I don’t back down from bullies.
And your comments about Jamal Khashoggi — an American resident and journalist butchered by the Saudi government — were shameful and do dishonor to your former office.

Let's be clear: Adam Schiff should be nowhere near the Intelligence Committee.

I knew today would be a great day to launch my campaign for Senate.
For a lot of reasons. Including this one:
Happy birthday, Kevin McCarthy.
I’m running to be your next U.S. Senator!

Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, law-abiding members both, are being punished.
George Santos, a pathological liar and lawbreaker, is being rewarded.
The operating principle of Kevin McCarthy’s House is not ethics. It’s power politics above all else.

Just no question that this “incredible rebound” - fastest in world, most equitable recovery with least scarring perhaps ever — would not have happened without President Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
Quote Tweet
Sometimes you need to look at the big picture: It's been an incredible rebound from the 2020 pandemic recession.
The US has recovered all output lost in the crisis and gotten back on trend.
GDP
2022: +2.1%
2021: +5.9%
2020: -2.8%

We all recognize this story: the faux outrage/indignation/freak-out over some trivial, made-up issue that becomes the latest front in our deeply unserious culture wars.
Think the fights over M&Ms, Mr. Potato Head, Dr. Seuss, and a Twix commercial.

The Senate is back in session, so I’m on my way to reintroduce two bills that’ll kick dark money out of our elections.
—My “Corporations Are Not People” Amendment to overturn Citizens United
—And my SUN Act, to shine a light on big money donors and bring more transparency.

This rejection is based on a claim that the Washington Post independent-fact checker gave 4 Pinocchios. Speaker Boehner and Ryan, both Gang of 8 members, appointed me to Intel with access to the same facts McCarthy is distorting. He can keep me off Intel, but I’m not going away.

I outed Pushaw as chief disinformation agent for Desantis in April 2021 - nearly TWO YEARS AGO.
Her deep ties to Eastern Europe, Michael Caputo, and the whole merry band of deplorables was ignored by the media out of fear of retaliation.

My agenda is currently lowering prescription drug, health care, and energy costs for families.
And we’re doing it without raising taxes on folks earning less than $400,000 a year.

Our country is less safe with Kevin McCarthy as Speaker... He's feeding us to the wolves to appease the chaos caucus.
Removing Swalwell and Schiff -All while seating people like Santos and Marjorie Taylor Greene on committees?
Do you feel safer? I sure as hell don't.
Quote Tweet
By refusing to seat Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar on their committees while seating compulsive liar and conman George Santos and bowing and scraping to compulsive liar and conman Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy has shown America exactly what he believes in: nothing.

Republican playbook:
1) Run up the debt to give historic tax giveaways to billionaires and corporations
2) Complain about the debt you created when a Democrat becomes president
3) Falsely blame the debt on Social Security and Medicare, hold the economy hostage to force cuts
