NEW from me @Newsweek:
Thanks to @RepJasonSmith, @drewbrees was a special guest speaker at last week's @HouseGOP retreat in Orlando.
I went through Brees's Hall of Fame career to show why he was a good choice.

Obviously, @drewbrees knows about adversity, and he brought a lifetime of lessons to the @HouseGOP retreat

Teamwork was stressed throughout the retreat, which concluded with Brees giving Republicans a pep talk about teamwork and overcoming adversity. #UT04's @RepBurgessOwens, himself a Super Bowl winner, introduced @drewbrees and told me Brees's remarks were newsweek.com/drew-brees-was…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
RIGHT NOW: #NY21’s @RepStefanik, #TX15’s @monica4congress, #FL26’s @MarioDB, #AZ06’s @JuanCiscomani, and #FL28’s @RepCarlos kick off Day 2 with a bilingual press conference 
#FL28’s @RepCarlos talks about the need for US to pay more attention to our neighbors in South and Central America
Talking about China as our “foreign adversary” and importance of bringing supply chains back to 🇺🇸

Elise Stefanik just can’t stop talking about endorsements. So let’s keep talking about her endorsements of candidates she wants in Washington. Because she IS the company she keeps. A🧵
Stefanik endorsed John Gibbs in Michigan who believes that America has “suffered” since women were given the right to vote. cnn.com/2022/09/21/pol…
Stefanik endorsed Yesli Vega in Virginia who believes that women who are assaulted can’t get pregnant nytimes.com/2022/06/27/us/…
🧵How many times has Elise Stefanik voted NO and then taken credit for the dough in #NY21? Spoiler Alert: A LOT. #StefanikScam
Rep. Elise Stefanik – voted against American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funding that helped keep police officers in #NY21 on the payroll – that didn’t stop her from taking credit for the funds.
Rep. Elise Stefanik voted against SBA Restaurant Revitalization Funds but you wouldn’t know that from this tweet of her touting the funds.
🧵 Former CIA officer here. If I took classified intelligence - let alone Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information about nuclear weapons - I would expect a visit from federal law enforcement. That’s the FBI’s job, to protect our national security. /1
We don’t know if the Top Secret nuclear weapons info was about the US arsenal or a foreign government - but this represents an enormous breach of our national security and if the latter, could compromise intelligence sources and methods and possibly lead to death of our spies./2
We don’t yet know why Trump took these Top Secret documents and refused to return them. But a question every American should be asking - after Trump’s actions on #Jan6 to retain power, how confident are you that he would not sell out our national security to benefit himself? /3
We in #NY21 have paid @RepStefanik about $1,300,000 to represent us so far. We provide her with great health benefits and vested her in a lifetime pension. Your money.
A minimum wage worker in 7.5 years earned about what she made in her 1st year.

Median household income in #NY21 is $59,000. Household.
That means many many families of 2, 3, 4 or more are living on less than $59,000/yr. Does inflation hurt them? You bet it hurts them.
But half of all households earn more than $59,000/yr

While Democrats have been fighting to increase the minimum wage to help people on the bottom of the income scale keep up with inflation or hopefully get a little bit ahead - remember Social Security is based on highest years income, starting at higher wage increases SS payments…
BREAKING: national Dems are using a "communities of interest" argument to urge their Albany counterparts to adopt an aggressive 23D-3R gerrymander that could wipe out five of NY's eight GOP seats. nyirc.gov/storage/commen…
Here are my views. People deserve accurate clear factual information. It's newsworthy that a former President continues to lie about his defeat in a national election. It's newsworthy officials (including Republicans) say publicly Trump's lie contributed to violence on 1/6 1/
It's also newsworthy that some Republicans have chosen to embrace and amplify Trump's lie, embellishing it with their own conspiracy theories. Factually @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik is one of those officials. Here's excellent context from @npr. 2/ npr.org/2022/01/12/107…
@EliseStefanik @RepStefanik @NPR And more excellent content from @ncpr. 3/ northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/451…
Thread: a lot of talk these days about EVs in cold weather. So I'm going to tweet blog about a long day of work driving in the #Adirondacks #ny21 North Country on a frigid day in my #teslamodel3. First thing I'll say: having a garage helps when it's -7f. /1
This means I start with my standard range of 284 miles without spending a bunch of battery power warming the #teslamodel3. The first part of the drive is uneventful with no noticeable loss of range. 2/❄️🚗
After stopping for an interview in Plattsburgh and getting the #teslamodel3 going again I've definitely lost some battery power/range. Started with 284 miles drove roughly 50 miles and this is my current range. Means I'll likely have to recharge a bit before getting home. -7f 3/
Thread: The @zdhirsch @davidncpr @ncpr treatment of @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik's role trying to block the peaceful transfer of power amid the 1/6 insurrection is a must-listen. I want to highlight one part of their reporting. 1/ #ny21 northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/451…
What makes @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik's role worthy of deep reporting is that she has a long history at Harvard, at the Foreign Policy Institute and at the National Endowment for Democracy working with organizations that defend democratic and civic institutions. 2/
@EliseStefanik @RepStefanik From Hirsch's reporting: "Given her background – for Stefanik to be a leading voice discrediting the results of a presidential election and effectively trying to block or delay the peaceful transfer of power, it’s a surprising turn." #ny21 3/
Noteworthy: @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik has now gone beyond choosing not to advocate for vaccine acceptance in her #ny21 district. She is now arguing private companies should allow anti-vaxxers to use their platforms to spread and amplify false information about the vaccines. 1/
Specifically, @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik is saying it is "censorship" for twitter to block Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from repeatedly spreading lies that vaccines cause "extremely high" numbers of deaths. 2/ nytimes.com/2022/01/02/tec…
It's unclear which doctors @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik is referring to. It would be helpful for the small group #ny21 media who are still granted access to the Congresswoman to ask whether Rep. Stefanik shares Rep. Greene's views about vaccines. 3/

Thread: For 20 years I covered the political & cultural life of a small region of rural America in northern NY, the #adirondacks and the #ny21 congressional district. If you had told me this story would have been possible, I wouldn't believe it. @ncpr 1/ northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/449…
I covered hurricanes, fires, wars, tragic event after tragic event. In every instance there was a palpable coming together, a tone that was broadly apolitical and a deep sense that small towns must, in the final equation, work together to survive. 2/
I say the tone was apolitical but the political leadership class of #ny21 is largely Republican. In moments of crisis leaders like Betty Little, John McHugh, Janet Duprey, Teresa Sayward and many others worked closely across party lines to help communities heal. 3/
Thread: NoCo Rep. @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik today called out Democrats for silence on a local politician involved in alleged drug use. Meanwhile her social media feeds were completely silent on the death and healthcare 'gridlock' being caused by #covid19. #ny21 1/
Here's a sampling of what local media outlets looked like on this day when the Congresswoman made no mention of the pandemic. This from @poststar 2/ poststar.com/news/local/war…
NEW YORK: strategists I've spoken w/ tell me strong census numbers in NYC could help Dems purge as many as *five* of the eight GOP seats in the state.
In the hypothetical below, Dems would gerrymander the current 19D-8R map (left) into as brutal as a 23D-3R rout (right).

NEW YORK: given what's happening elsewhere in redistricting, it's tough to imagine Dems holding onto the House without aggressively gerrymandering NY (and bypassing the state's new commission).
I basically see two likely scenarios for Dems in NY. A brief thread...
I basically see two likely scenarios for Dems in NY. A brief thread...
Thread: For six+ years I covered @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik as closely as any journalist, following her through rural Upstate #adirondack towns in #ny21, watching her build political strength, visiting her in Washington DC. Here are my takeaways. 1/
In 2014 she presented herself as a moderate and her past career suggested as much - including her writings at Harvard and her work with Democrats like @SenatorShaheen northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/249…
She also worked closely early in her career with moderates and people who've emerged as never-Trumpers like @MittRomney @SpeakerRyan @BillKristol including a stint in the Bush-Cheney White House. 3/
North Country thread #ny21: this has huge implications for the #adirondacks region. Our population is already older than the national average which means even fewer births 1/
When you combine this with our lack of appeal to immigrants the math is devastating. Demographic decline is inevitable without a profound shift 2/
Because so many of our communities and counties are already very low population the impacts could be felt very swiftly and indeed are manifested in closing schools churches groceries etc 3/
#Thread: This is personal. I announced my candidacy in April of 2019. Less than a month later, my extended family suffered a tragedy of addiction. I found myself trying to find a detox bed for our loved one. I drove 8 hours in the middle of the night to be there.⬇️
I watched the sickness, the pain. We were able to find him help— after several days, & 100s of calls.
I watched as he looked at the paperwork & the cost 4 treatment. He looked at me, terrified. He couldn’t afford it. Our family couldn’t afford it. He had insurance. He was lucky.
I watched as he looked at the paperwork & the cost 4 treatment. He looked at me, terrified. He couldn’t afford it. Our family couldn’t afford it. He had insurance. He was lucky.
The same week our lives were turned upside down, my opponent @EliseStefanik, voted against a bill that would help families suffering under the weight addiction. It would have helped connect families to healthcare navigators, connect them to treatment, to save lives. ⬇️
This is the gravity of the facts @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik has yet to address in a substantive interview, laid out by presidential historian Michael Beschloss (link at end of thread). “This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection..." #ny21 /1
Trump "incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy." #ny21 /2
"It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.” #ny21 /3
