The DOJ official that prosecuted Steve Bannon is a longtime Democrat activist. Matthew Graves was on the domestic policy committee for Biden’s 2020 campaign, he helped the Kerry campaign with VP vetting, and worked advance for Clinton’s re-election. (1/4)
That’s important context for what is a clear political prosecution against Bannon. Bannon will be the first person to go to prison for contempt of Congress in 51 years. (2/4)
Graves sought the maximum sentence possible for contempt of Congress (6 months) because Bannon is a proud dissident. From Graves’ sentencing memorandum: "The Defendant ridiculed through counsel this case as 'a scam from the beginning' (3/4)
...promised that he would make this case 'the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden,'...and warned that 'we're gonna go on the offense on this and stand by.'" The message is clear. You're not allowed to attack the Biden Regime. (4/4)

During this time of crippling inflation, high energy prices, and failed leadership from the White House, the powers that be are struggling for solutions. Unfortunately, (1/10)
the latest purported solution on the House floor today not only ignores our most salient problems confronting the American public, it subscribes to the narrow Democrat dogma of socialist-adjacent, top-down economics. H.R. 6833, the Affordable Insulin Now Act, (2/10)
is another big government bill that claims to serve the American people by subverting basic economic theory with the proposed codification of government price controls. H.R. (3/10)
The Government Spending legislation considered by Congress today makes virtually every problem created by the Biden Government worse. I’m not voting for it.
Printing trillions more for eternal government programs will worsen inflation, not solve it. (1/4)
Funding a Department of Homeland Security that is handcuffed from securing the border is a cruel joke. A Department of Justice that targets parents at school board meetings should not be given additional authorities and resources. (2/4)
Covid Theater shouldn’t be embraced by globalist Covid spending.
Government should be shrinking, not growing. Mandates should be repealed, not tacitly endorsed. Our border should take priority over Ukraine's. (3/4)
Today I voted against the "American Energy Independence from Russia Act." While we should take steps to expand domestic production of energy by reauthorizing the Keystone XL Pipeline and allowing land-based drilling and fracking, this legislation contains a poison pill...(1/4)
...and actually helps Russia.
It would abolish the moratorium on new oil and gas drilling leases off Florida’s coast. It would harm Northwest Florida’s military mission. It would impair the research, development, (2/4)
testing and evaluation work that allows our military to maintain a qualitative edge over Russia, China, and the world. It would be foolish to respond to Russia’s aggression by rendering America less capable to defeat Russia or anyone else. (3/4)
During Congressman Gaetz’s time in office, we have been behind the scenes every step of the way. We have staffed his meetings. We have planned his events. We have traveled with him. And we have tracked his schedule. (2/7)
Congressman Gaetz has always been a principled and morally grounded leader. At no time has any one of us experienced or witnessed anything less than the utmost professionalism and respect. No hint of impropriety. No ounce of untruthfulness. (3/7)
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)
