The First Step Act recognizes that helping federal inmates prepare for a successful life outside of prison can reduce recidivism and crime. Through the Joseph Project, I have witnessed formerly incarcerated individuals transform their lives when given work opportunities.
Like most legislation, the #FirstStepAct is not perfect, and provisions I hoped to see included were not adopted. Nevertheless, I believe the potential positives outweighed my concerns and I voted to support it.
It will be the responsibility of Congress to closely monitor the results of the law in the years ahead, and make modifications if necessary. #FirstStepAct #JosephProjectWI

Take time to listen to President Eisenhower’s 15-minute-long farewell address.

Here are 4 clips of what he warned us about that have all come true. Amazingly prescient.
WARNING: The grave implications of the rise of the Military Industrial Complex.

RESULT: Endless wars and misery.
WARNING: The dangers of a scientific and technological elite driving public policy.

RESULT: The Covid Cartel censoring truth and sabotaging early treatment.

.@chucktodd did not want to hear about Hunter Biden’s wrongdoings.

Here's a list of violations that the biased news media continues to ignore⬇️
1. Tax crimes: Federal agents investigating Hunter Biden have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes related to his income from various business ventures, including overseas.

2. Payments to escorts linked to human trafficking: Joe Biden may have financed his son’s participation in an escort ring tied to Russia, records from a copy of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop show.

This is a garbage story, produced by the @journalsentinel for DC Democrats which ignores many of the facts my team provided.

It is a coordinated smear tactic and Wisconsinites are smart enough to see through it.
Here’s the truth: I have never been reimbursed for travel to visit family in Florida, although the story leaves the impression that I have.

Per Senate rules, Senators can be reimbursed for travel back to official business in D.C.

This is precisely what happened.
Senators can be reimbursed for travel to official business, from somewhere other than their duty station, as long as the cost is equal to or less than the cost of traveling from the duty station.
 
This means my travel cost the taxpayer the same amount or less.

For the 5th time this year, @YouTube is censoring me from telling you the truth.

This time they don't want you to hear 3.5 hours of stories from doctors, scientists and the vaccine injured.

At least you can still watch it for yourself on @rumblevideo

.@YouTube's censorship started in February when it removed 2 videos on my channel that featured the sworn testimony of Dr. Pierre Kory in front of my Senate committee Dec. 8, 2020.

Then in June, @YouTube strikes again pulling down videos from my remarks to the @MKEPressClub

Why does .@CNN have such a hard time reporting the truth?

I relayed all of these facts to CNN prior to @AC360 but they of course did not air any of it.

I have always and will continue to thank @CapitolPolice for their service and express my strong support for law enforcement.
Line officers did an exemplary job protecting members of Congress and I commend them for their heroism.
On January 6th, and every time I’ve been asked since, I strongly condemned the grotesque violence, repugnant racial slurs, and other illegal acts that occurred at the Capitol. All those who engaged in those repulsive acts should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
