NEW from me @TheSpectator:
I’m at today’s long awaited @tiktok_us hearing, where the Communist spyware CEO is going to gaslight America
He’s now on on Cap Hill with a Socialist Congressman and a Biden-tied Mao lover's firm in his pockets

TikTok’s CEO is gearing up for a grilling in Congress, but he’s got some new, powerful allies in his corner: a political consulting firm whose founder lavished praise on Mao Zedong and is now one of Biden’s top aides — and a socialist congressman who thespectator.com/topic/tiktok-f…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Shou Zi Chew, the company’s CEO, is at @HouseCommerce, where Republicans are planning to press him on the national security concerns posed by the video app’s parent company ByteDance’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

I was a gay kid growing up in South Dakota who said the words, “I’m gay” for the first time while riding my dad’s John Deere so no one would hear me.
13-year-old me back in 1996 couldn’t dream of a world where our lives and our love would be part of the American conversation.

Coming out to others happened in stages. A crush on a guy from the tennis team turning into my first boyfriend.
My first boyfriend turned into a question from my sister while she was brushing her teeth:
“Are you dating a guy on the tennis team?” “Yes. Pass the toothpaste.”

I got my start in public service advocating to make marriage equality the law of the land (before it was cool).
When I first ran for State Rep, it seemed I was too young, too gay, and too “not from here." I don’t remember its origin, but it's the story I started telling myself.

I want to extend a sincere and personal thank you to everyone for the outpouring of support I’ve seen this week both in #MI06 and beyond.
Continuing to work together is how we’ll win this election in November.
Continuing to work together is how we’ll win this election in November.
In the face of some of the most hateful and disgusting tactics we’ve ever seen in #MI06, folks have raised their voices to let Upton and his dark money D.C. supporters know that hate has no home here.
I want to say how truly grateful I am, and how much your support means to me.

Unfortunately we’re still fighting these attacks. We’re working hard to get our message out, but we need your help.
If you’re able, I hope you’ll chip in $3, $6, or $10 to help us keep fighting back and show that hate doesn’t belong in #MI06. secure.actblue.com/donate/bebs?re…

.@RepDonBacon (R-#NE02): "This (USPS) Bill was not perfect, but the critical role the postal service plays in our country and the fact the postal system will become insolvent next year led me to vote in support." bacon.house.gov/news/documents…
.@RepBost (R-#IL12): "While Congress approved additional funding today with my support, I still share President Trump’s concerns over the process in place for counting an unprecedented number of votes by mail." bost.house.gov/media-center/p…
Rep. @VernBuchanan (R-#FL16): "Millions of Americans, especially seniors, depend on a healthy and functioning Postal Service. I voted for the bill today to make sure the Postal Service has the resources to deliver the mail."
The latest fundraising numbers are in and we have GREAT news! Our campaign was able to raise over $377,000 from more than 4,100 contributions - making this our strongest fundraising quarter yet! #MI06
Not only was this our best quarter, but despite Congressman Upton pulling in nearly $185,000 from corporate PACs and other special interests groups, he only outraised us by $5,199. #MI06
While half of Upton’s money came from PACs, our campaign relies entirely on grassroots donors like you, and we've made this the closest race Upton has ever faced. You made this victory happen.
But we can't stop now.

THREAD: In the last week, we have seen our neighbors across the country demonstrate against injustice and inequality in our criminal justice system. They are hurt. They are angry. They are exhausted.
It is a heartbreakingly familiar reality. (cont)
It is a heartbreakingly familiar reality. (cont)
The racism we see in our system is structural, and must be addressed as such. That means changing the laws, policies, and practices that prop up injustice and corruption in our criminal justice system - including here in #MI06. (cont)
Measures will vary from changing our approach to policing by requiring implicit bias training for law enforcement to identify and unlearn unconscious biases that perpetuate injustice to supporting programs that disproportionately impact people of color. (cont)
We couldn’t be more excited to share this news with you - the numbers are in, and we’re leading Fred Upton by 1. #MI06
Can you chip in $6 or whatever you can to our momentum to flip Michigan’s 6th District from red to blue? #DemCast secure.actblue.com/donate/first_p…
Can you chip in $6 or whatever you can to our momentum to flip Michigan’s 6th District from red to blue? #DemCast secure.actblue.com/donate/first_p…
These results reflect what we have been seeing across the district for the past year. The votes Congressman Upton cast haven't set us up for success and people are fed up. #MI06
Our communities deserve a representative who will put people and community first, not someone willing to play partisan politics with people’s lives. After 33 years in D.C., Congressman Upton has failed to deliver real results for #MI06. Voters are clearly ready for a change.
Today @RepFredUpton turned his back on every single woman in Michigan and across the country. Upton's vote against allowing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to move forward is completely inexcusable and downright shameful. #MI06 #ERANow politico.com/news/2020/02/1…

I’m so grateful for every person and organization who endorse this campaign. But our newest endorsement is especially personal to me: the Michigan Education Association / National Education Association! #MI06 #DemCastMI
As the son of educators, the brother of a teacher, the cousin of teachers, and the nephew of teachers - it means so much to have the support of the NEA & the school personnel they represent. #MI06
I know how hard the educators in our communities work. up in a family of educators, our dinner conversations usually ended up drifting into what’s work and not working when it comes to education. #MI06
Throughout the country, millions of acres of forests, mountains, rivers, and plains have been preserved for the public good. They’re where we go to relax, to explore, for recreation, and to find inspiration. #MI06
Unfortunately, our public lands are under attack by special interest groups and their political allies in Washington who are trying to sell them off to the oil, gas, and coal industries. #MI06
Our public lands should be protected and celebrated, not sold off to corporate special interests. In Congress, I'll fight to protect our public lands and our Great Lakes for future generations to enjoy. #MI06 news.yahoo.com/great-dismantl…
No Michigander should live in fear of being fired from their job, evicted from their home, or denied service at a restaurant for who they are or who they love. #MI06 #MILeg
That’s why I’ve long fought to expand Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, and introduced legislation in this session to do just that. #MI06 #MILeg
The Legislature has everything it needs to act immediately to prohibit anti-LGBTQ discrimination, except for the willingness of the majority party. We need to fix that in 2020. #MI06 #MILeg

While Americans are having to make decisions between paying their bills or putting food on their tables and being able to afford life-saving medication, Big Pharma kicked off the new year by raising prices on 250 prescription drugs. #MI06
Last month @RepFredUpton had the opportunity to address the rising costs of prescription drugs by supporting H.R. 3 but he refused. For far too long Upton has catered to his corporate donors regardless of the real problems facing families here.
Upton’s vote against H.R. 3 is just another example of his unwillingness to stand up for the hardworking families in #MI06 he was elected to represent. In Congress, l'll stand up to pharmaceutical companies and fight for more affordable prescription drugs

Despite the partisan talking points coming from some Republicans, despite the Orwellian misinformation some supporters of President Trump are spinning, the questions before members of Congress like @RepFredUpton today are clear. #MI06 #Impeachment
1) is it wrong to invite a foreign power to interfere in our elections? Yes or no.
2) is it wrong to obstruct a Congressional subpoena & investigation? Yes or no.
I say clearly the answers to both questions are yes. What President Trump did was wrong. #MI06 #Impeachment

I say clearly the answers to both questions are yes. What President Trump did was wrong. #MI06 #Impeachment
Trump’s abuse of power is a clear and present danger to our democracy and national security interests. Trump put himself before our country and must be held accountable. No one is above the law, not even the President. #MI06 #Impeachment
Throughout the summer and into the fall we’ve been asking people to help, asking them to put their name on the line and sign our petition. We’re doing more work, with more people, in more places than this district has ever seen before. #MI06
Through festivals and parades, days of actions & nights of calling, people have been raising their hand to help, saying it’s time for change in #MI06 Now we’ve turned in the maximum amount of petition signatures allowed to get on the ballot.
The work we’ve been doing throughout 2019 has laid the foundation that we need for victory in 2020. I couldn’t be more grateful to all of you who have already stepped up to help us in this campaign. #MI06
The Rule of Law is the cornerstone of American democracy and should not be a partisan issue. President Trump used military aid to pressure Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 elections, and then tried to cover it up. #MI06 #ImpeachmentInquiry
@RepFredUpton's vote against holding the President accountable today is just another example of his willingness to put his political party before the people of SW Michigan. Congressman Upton has changed.
Who represents our district needs to change, too. #MI06 #ImpeachmentInquiry
