Message to Republicans & Democrats - including @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP colleagues. I do not trust you to do anything at all, much less say you will draft my daughter to “non combat” roles. Why don’t I trust you? Let’s see - THREAD: (1/9) #DontDraftOurDaughters
Maybe it’s because you (both R&D) have amassed $30 trillion in debt and are blowing through trillions more… all while giving lip service to “balanced budgets” for decades… (2/9)
Maybe it’s because you (both R & D) have talked about securing our border while Texans suffer - our ranches, our schools, our hospitals - Fentanyl pouring into our communities… murders, rapes… dead migrants on ranches… all in the false name of compassion… (3/9)
Maybe it’s because you (both R&D) politicized a virus… giving us wildly varying propaganda about it’s origins, the nature of it’s communicability, the efficacy of your mandated measures in response including vaccines, and ignoring of treatments… (4/9)
Maybe it’s because you (both R&D) have destroyed our healthcare system and made it impossible to get the doctor of our choice at a remotely affordable price all in the false name of “coverage.” (5/9)
Maybe it’s because both R&D have had us at war for 20 years… without any actual new AUMF or consistent guidance from our political leaders about victory… all while our troops sacrificed, and we set the stage for a gutless President to surrender and empower our enemies… (6/9)
Maybe its because you’ve funded education bureaucrat after education bureaucrat to teach our kids that American is evil and racist, to take God out of our schools, and otherwise make it impossible for parents to safely turn their children over to the schools… (7/9)
Maybe it’s because you’ve (both R&D) caused America, despite sitting on a vast reserve of energy supply, to render us less secure economically and less secure against our enemies to appease institutional investors and the Acela corridor cocktail circuit. (8/9)
Now you - including likely 28 GOP House members voting for an NDAA last night to do so - want to draft my daughter and just “trust you” not to put them into combat? All of DC - all of it - can go straight to hell. (9/9) #DontDraftOurDaughters

While I was at the Border in Laredo with @tedcruz and @NancyMace last night, Border Patrol found 29 humans being smuggled in a trailer at Charley 29 Checkpoint.
We moved down to the Rio Grande where a group of 30+ migrants and coyotes were waiting to cross into the United States #BidenBorderCrisis #ImpeachMayorkas
To start, this graph is what CNN wants you to believe about Biden’s COVID protocols at the border, but the red line starting in May appears to show the CUMULATIVE number of T42 expulsions since Biden took office, not MONTHLY number 2/
The graph here, however, is based on the Biden administration’s ACTUAL CBP numbers for the month of June. (Source: @profmjcleveland)
Yesterday in McAllen: @CBP overwhelmed. No room to process illegals inside, so have to wait outside under bridge. Just in 24 hrs in 2 stations, encountered over 3,400 (1700 MCS & 1300 RGVS). Currently holding over 7,000 illegals w/ some 5,000 waiting… #BorderCrisis (1/5)
…It’s over 100 degrees. The 2 stations have combined capacity of 620 – holding 7000! From Agent with over 2-1/2 decades of service - “they are way past capacity – so aliens sit outside because where do you take them? …it’s a nightmare – people want to go to bathroom… (2/5)
…need to eat, women need to breast-feed, & the list goes on… This has surpassed the point of sustainability – this is lunacy.”
Where are you, now, @AOC? The hypocrisy & double standard is undeniable. The difference? The Trump team was doing everything possible… (3/5)
Finally able to compare amended Senate version to the original (& House companion) one I cited below (all that was available at time) & @SenateGOP claims victory b/c it’s allegedly slightly “less bad,” & yet entire intent remains to tie awful crimes to speech & thought... (1/4)
... It specifically retains “COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force,” which the name in & of itself is absurd... but now having a ever-so-slightly modified task from issuing “best practices” for mitigation to “raising awareness” of “hate crimes” during the COVID-19 pandemic... (2/4)
...& further, it does pull out “gender identify” language tied to a definition of COVID-19 “hate crimes,” which no doubt the @senateGOP will claim as victory, but leaves DOJ with carte blanche to define hate “incidents” & instruct local, state law enforcement how to track. (3/4)
The @SenateGOP is utterly worthless. An absolute embarrassment. Good luck reclaiming the majority voting for absolute and total garbage COVID-19 “Hate Crime” legislation: “The term ‘COVID–19 hate crime’ means a crime of violence (as such term is defined in section... (1/4)
...16 of 18, United States Code) that is motivated by—
(A) the actual or perceived race, ethnicity, age, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability of any person; and... (2/4)
...(B) the actual or perceived relationship to the spread of COVID–19 of any person because of the characteristic described in subparagraph (A).” AND... later... “(b) Guidance Relating To COVID–19 Pandemic.—The Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human... (3/4)
