Have you spent so much time at the dump that you can’t smell the trash anymore? You know what stinks to most Americans?

Jan. 28: Trump’s National Security Adviser told him the coronavirus pandemic would be the “biggest national security threat” of his presidency.

*THREAD 1/3*
Feb 7: Trump to Woodward: “this is deadly stuff” and “it’s more deadly than even your strenuous flu”

Feb 10: Trump to public: “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

*THREAD 2/3*
Today: 6.3 million Americans have confirmed cases and more than 190,000 Americans have DIED.

These cases - these deaths could have been prevented if the President had done his job.

Cuts to Health Care:

💊Kick low-income Americans off Medicaid by imposing stringent work requirements.

⚕️Cut the State Opioid Response grant program--denying 29,000 people recovery services.

🪖Provide veterans with 13M fewer health care visits & longer wait times for benefits.
Cuts to Education:

📚Cut 200,000 children from Head Start and 100,000 children from child care assistance.

🎓Decrease higher education aid to all 6.6M Pell recipients and eliminate Pell Grants altogether for approximately 80,000 students.

1/4 I’m disappointed that the EAGLE Act, a bill to make our employment-based visa system fairer, hasn't come for a vote in the House. Too many visa holders & their families are stuck in a green card backlog that arbitrarily discriminates against immigrants from certain countries.
2/4 Rao, my constituent, came to California 10 yrs ago for a better life for his children—the U.S. is their home. Sadly, Rao & his family are in a state of uncertainty & fear deportation because the green card he applied for in 2015, is delayed due to the per-country quotas.
3/4 Similarly, Suvo a senior team member at a Fortune 500 Company, can't change jobs, travel abroad or start his own company, because of the green card backlog. Without a green card, his 6 yr old son will have to self-deport once he turns 21 because he can't be on his dad’s visa.

1/4 Very exciting news from @Livermore_Lab, located in my district, that its National Ignition Facility (NIF) produced a fusion reaction that creates a net energy gain.

But wondering what that actually means? I’ll break it down. 🧵
2/4 In the 1960s, @Livermore_Lab scientists wanted to explore if lasers could be used to make fusion in a laboratory setting.

And after years of R&D, diagnostics, modeling, design, and simulation, Livermore Lab created NIF, the world’s largest and most energetic laser system.
3/4 Last week’s fusion experiment at NIF produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

This historic, first-of-its kind achievement of releasing more energy out than put in, replicates a process that is only found in the sun and stars.

What?! One-third of Americans say it’s time to take up arms against our government? I know EXACTLY who is inspiring the treason curious. 🧵 (1/ )thehill.com/homenews/35722…
