@SenateGOP

At 930AM, the @SenateGOP on the Armed Services Committee began debate (in private) on the #NDAA. There will likely be an amendment, again, to draft our daughters. Last year, several GOP Senators voted yes. That was asinine. They should not do it again… (1/5)

Those voting no last year:
James Inhofe
Wicker, Roger
Cotton, Tom
Hawley, Josh
Rounds, Mike

Voted YES (or Not Present) last year:
Fischer, Deb
Ernst, Joni
Tillis, Thom
Sullivan, Dan
Cramer, Kevin
Scott, Rick
Blackburn, Marsha
Tuberville, Tommy

(2/5)

@GOP

… Absurd that @GOP is even considering advancing a bill that harms military readiness by ignoring biology - data shows on average among volunteers that males are more effective in combat. One study by Marines ($36 million) showed all male units outperformed mixed units… (3/5)

Thread on corporate America. Too may conservatives are caught up in a 1990’s business school view of laissez-fair economics assuming those corporations are acting to maximize shareholder value as opposed to advancing an agenda & are acting removed from corporate cronyism… (1/8)

…Instead, corporate America is - across multiple industries - using massive market power combined with government-corporate cronyism to impact negatively - in real time - the lives, liberty, & ability to pursue happiness of the American people… (2/8)

…It is hardly deniable that #BigTech & #BigMedia are using their power along with govt regulatory protection to impact what we read, see, & hear in a way designed to affect policy. It’s true re: #COVID, race/CRT/BLM, gender/trans (e.g. Disney), CO2/Energy & more… (3/8)

@PressSec

THREAD: @PressSec - having refused to apologize for accusing @CBP agents of whipping Haitians… extends lies to oil: “What additional permits do they need? …The leases are there, the permits are there. I don’t think they need an embroidered invitation..” (1/x) #EnergyFreedom

https://twitter.com/mikekberg/status/1501633876103467010

This is stupid, a lie, or both: Oil is around $120 a barrel; do you really think companies don’t want to drill right now? They can’t because of the administration’s assault on reliable American oil & gas. #EnergyFreedom (2/x)

Companies have applied for a bunch of permits because they know they’re under attack… Biden in a 2020 debate: “No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. Period.” #EnergyFreedom (3/x)

#SWAMPSPENDING THREAD: 1) We were sent vote times & “Omnibus” spending bill at 230AM. 2) It is 2700 pages & we vote at 1000AM. 4) Top-line spending appears to be $1.512 Trillion. 3) We are told it is a 6% increase year-over-year, NOT counting Ukraine or COVID Supp… (1/6)

… 4) We can’t identify their “baseline” for saying 6% increase, it appears higher, but we cannot tell. 5) We are aware of zero actual changes to USA Oil & Gas restrictions. 6) We are aware of zero changes to COVID vax mandates… (2/6) #DefundTyranny #DefundVaxMandates

…7) We are aware of zero meaningful policy changes for our open border - only more money for CBP/ICE - which means more money to process illegal immigrants, and more money for MPP/Return to MX, which DHS is ignoring anyway!… (3/6) #SecureBorderNow

Thread: Visited @BPUnion @CBP, @TxDPS, & ranchers in Del Rio, Tx w/ 4 @freedomcaucus colleagues, 5 #TxLege Freedom Caucus & @russvought, coordinating to protect Tx from cartels, crime, fentanyl, & devastation of open borders. We will not wait 3 years. #SecureOurBorderNow (1/6)

Great Americans: @RepMattSchaefer @MattShaheen @BriscoeCain @Toth_4_Texas @brianeharrison @replouiegohmert @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepCloudTX @RepBobGood @russvought hearing from Border Patrol on the front lines - looking at crumbling fence next to unfinished Trump fence. (2/6)

@TxDPS

Met with @TxDPS getting an update on Operation Lone Star. State shouldn’t have to step into the breach of refusal of Biden & Mayorkas to enforce the law… but DPS is - every day - and and if we have, we should not allow ourselves to be held back… It’s an invasion. (3/6)
