For all their accusations about Republicans harming Democracy, House Democrats have jeopardized the legitimacy of every future U.S. election by passing H.R. 1.
It erodes the verification process in voting, literally banning state-enacted photo ID safeguards. (1/4)
House Democrats apparently think voting is less worthy of identity protection than boarding aircraft or buying cigarettes. (2/4)
Election fraud should be investigated, not legitimized through the provisions of this legislation that legalize ballot harvesting and ensure a growing, unmanageable universe of mail ballots. (3/4)
If Democrats were serious about cleaning up Washington, they would not have blocked a vote on my amendment to ban campaign contributions from lobbyists and special interest PACs. (4/4)

President @realDonaldTrump has done the right thing by vetoing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
This bill, which I opposed on the House floor, is a slap in the face to the America First movement. (1/4)
It greatly limits the President’s ability to remove troops from foreign lands, and to draw down endless, unconstitutional wars.
Additionally, it does nothing to reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. (2/4)
Section 230 is a gift to tech companies, placing them above the law; furthermore, our adversaries have begun to use its expansive protections to undermine America’s national security. (3/4)
Democrats quietly acknowledged the outlandish provisions in their omnibus legislation tonight by splitting their original legislation into two separate votes. (1/9)
I voted “yes” on the half of the bill which funds our military and provides a pay raise for the brave men and women who serve America. (2/9)
I voted “no” on the second half of the spending bill, which provides windfalls to corporate special interests, while simultaneously shortchanging American citizens. (3/9)
So I'm tweeting the entire story line by line in a thread below 👇

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.
Members of Congress are not released from their constitutional responsibilities during national crises.
It is a dereliction of duty for Congress to be absent from DC, and unable to pass life-saving legislation, during this consequential time in our nation’s history.
While President @realDonaldTrump remains in Washington, working tirelessly to protect the American people, @SpeakerPelosi has receded to her San Francisco mansion.
I agree with @POTUS: Congress should be back in Washington working alongside him to combat this pandemic.
It is unconscionable that health care workers, first responders, and millions of other Americans are fighting back against COVID-19 while Democrats refuse to do their jobs.
THREAD: Anti-Trump Democrats in Washington have egg on their face. They’re reacting inconsistently and frantically as the Mueller investigation winds down absent proof of collusion.
Adam Schiff has promised for months that he “had the goods” showing “demonstrable evidence” of Trump’s collusion with Russia. It’s evidence we’ve never seen because it doesn’t exist.
To cover for this now-exposed lie, House Democrats just launched a new 81-pronged investigation. They aren’t just fishing; they’re fishing with dynamite
Sabotages state voter ID laws: Voters will not have to show ID at the polls when they vote - they'll only have to sign a piece of paper saying they are who they claim to be. #NOTForThePeopleAct
Mandates same-day registration: States will be forced to register a person even up to and on the day of the request, easily leading to voter fraud. #NOTForThePeopleAct#StealElectionsAct
