Watching #AmericanSwamp w/ @KatyTurNBC & @jacobsoboroff on Infrastructure. (great job btw)

Every member of Congress should spend a week in the seat next to one of our countries long haul truck driver to truly see how bad our #infrastructure is.

1/....
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff We as a country need to bite the bullet and raise the gas tax. Not only to support funding the of a massive improvement of the infrastructure.....

America is falling apart and next to nothing gets done at both ends of Pennsylvania Ave.

We must act now...

2/
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff Not only do we need to fix roads, but also the pipes that carries our water.

We have cities such as #FlintWaterCrisis #NewarkWaterCrisis that have lead in their water.

We also are losing vast amounts of water due to failing concrete pipes.....

3/
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff Here our grades from the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, which is published every four years

Thanks to @ASCETweets for the graphic

As a teacher, & more importantly an American, this is unacceptable

4/
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff @ASCETweets Leadership is needed in Washington DC and tough decisions must be made... both parties must step up and give and take for the good of the country.

What is happening to America is sickening... we can and must do better.

5/
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff @ASCETweets The time has long past for action, who among our leaders has the courage to do what is right for the America people and will truly put #CountryFirst and begin to solve the current crisis that we have in our failing American #infrastructure

6/
@KatyTurNBC @jacobsoboroff @ASCETweets Failing to do nothing is not an option for our #infrastructure.

It may be time for me to step up and once again put my name on the ballot and run for office.... we shall see.

Congress & POTUS #DoYourJob and solve this problem NOW

7/7

🚨🚨Virginia #Election2023 Predictions🚨🚨

#ElectionDay in the Commonwealth will see a fight for control of the House of Delegates (Currently the GOP has a 52-48 Majority) & Senate (where Dems have 22-18 majority).

This thread will highlight key races & give outcomes.

1/16
The Senate in my opinion will remain in the hands of Democrats and will expand their majority by 1 seat to 23-17.

Here are a few key races and where I see the race headed.

2/16
SD-24 incumbent Monty Mason will win a close one over a Danny Diggs in the Newport News (partial), York, Williamsburg area district.

Since tomorrow is the last day of 2020 I want to start something positive to end this dreadful year.

Reply with one person on Twitter you are thankful for... explain why you are thankful for them.

I'll be sharing a few thoughts throughout the day tomorrow- make sure you follow
The first person I'm thankful is @RepRiggleman / @Denver4VA ... he has been someone that has been willing to talk about everything that is going on and has made me feel proud to be Virginian. He is kind and thoughtful.

Here is what frustrates me... I respect @BenSasse but myself & other #Republicans who were #NeverTrump from the start have gone through years of being threatened, kicked out of the party, & mocked among other things for what we knew about Trump....

/1


washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns…
because we knew what Trump would do not just to the Party, but more importantly America.

We spoke up & out when few would. Because those people (yes @BenSasse included) wanted to win politically at all cost & refused to put #CountryOverParty & backed Trump.

/2
Now with the impending implosion of Republicans in the #Election2020 there are those who are trying to act like they are ready to lead the party and even America in a post Trump presidency by just now speaking about against Trump... mostly in private, rarely in public.
