The Biden administration’s policies are devastating Americans.

-Energy, healthcare, and grocery prices are skyrocketing
-Crime is rampant
-The border is on fire
-Vax mandates are threatening national security

But we can stop it. 🧵🧵🧵

Biden’s attack on American energy is sending costs through the roof.

A record 1 in 6 American families – 20 MILLION homes – are currently behind on their electricity bills.

And this will only get worse as natural gas prices increase this winter.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

And gasoline prices are STILL $1.38/gal higher than they were in 2019.

But the taxpayer funded EPA and Department of Interior are still doing all they can to choke fossil fuel production.

Crime is also skyrocketing.

Last year, murders in 12 major cities – including Austin – hit all-time highs.

This year, violent crime in cities is up 40%.

Yet we provide billions to a DOJ that is failing to protect Americans…

Criminal cartels have operational control of our southern border.

Since Biden took office, Border Patrol has encountered over 3.3 MILLION illegal migrants – 1 million of which have been RELEASED into the interior US.

And that doesn’t even count the 900,000 known gotaways…

.@SecMayorkas’ open-border policies allow fentanyl to pour into our communities.

In 2021, US drug overdose deaths surpassed 100,000 for the first time in history.

And fentanyl accounted for OVER 71,000 of those deaths.

Meanwhile, grocery costs shot up 13.5% in August – the highest increase since 1979.

-Bread up over 16%
-Milk up over 17%
-Chicken up 17%

But Congress continues to spend money we don’t have…

And Big Government and Big Insurance are driving up healthcare costs

@BLS_gov reported that annual health insurance costs INCREASED 24.3% in August

No wonder @Ipsos found 87% of Americans think “politicians have lost touch with what the public needs from their health care.”

And “public health” agencies are threatening our national security.

The military’s vax mandate is forcing servicemembers out of their jobs.

Our recruiting is suffering too - with just a few weeks left, the Army has only hit 52% of its recruiting goal.

Mind you, these mandates are for a vaccine that DOESN’T EVEN PREVENT TRANSMISSION.

Even @CDCDirector had to admit that...

But here’s the good news:

We can dramatically increase energy production and lower inflation

We can stop the flow of fentanyl and limit the reach of cartels

We can reduce crime and protect communities

We can strengthen our military and help other Americans keep their jobs…

But we have to be willing to stand up & refuse to fund a government so at odds with the American people

The upcoming funding deadline presents an opportunity to do just that... & Americans will be watching
