BORDER THREAD: A) Title 42 is NOT border policy & should not be treated as such. Too many GOP use it as cover for weak border efforts when we should not perpetuate the myth of on-going pandemic (see, e.g., student loans); B) We can & should fix the border w/ #HR7772… (1/6)

… the principles laid out in the #TxBorderPlan & we must do these things precisely b/c Title 42 is not an actual fix but a bandaid; C) Now, of course Title 42 can be aggressively used for duration of ANY concurrent federal “pandemic” mandates being used against citizens… (2/6)

…& federal policy makers can debate that, & we should; D) But, ACLU leftists went to District Court to compel the feds to end Title 42 & the court agreed, E) states said - hold up, we get a say if the district court is going to make policy… (3/6)

THREAD: 21 Senators voted to proceed to the $1.7 trillion omnibus - & to spend billions we do not have, empower Biden bureaucrats with no fixes, & block us from securing the border for at least 9 mos. Some are friends, one my former boss.. but unless… (1/13) #StandUpForAmerica

…they change their vote on final passage, I don’t care & will oppose their bills/priorities - & not for revenge, but b/c it’s the only tool I have to pressure them to stop doing this to us. This vote is indefensible, & damaging to Texas. It takes away our leverage to… (2/13)

@JohnCornyn

…force Biden to secure the border & in fact specifically says new DHS money can only be used to process MORE people - which will lead to more fentanyl, violence, & death. For Texans, this alone is reason enough to oppose this terrible bill (cc: @JohnCornyn)… (3/13)

To “Make the Economy Strong,” we must COMMIT to 1) balance the budget in 10 yrs & appropriate to it (stop spending $ we don’t have); 2) unapologetically expand reliable nuclear & gas energy by opening federal lands & permitting… (1/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica

To “Make the Economy Strong,” we must COMMIT to… 3) end subsidies distorting toward unreliable energy; 4) use federal investment power & SEC regulatory power to end the anti-free enterprise woke “ESG” constraint on capital. (2/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica

To “Make the Nation Safe,” we must COMMIT to secure our border NOW by 1) using the purse power to require turn away or full detention, no exceptions, 2) tightening asylum & eliminating loopholes, & 3) building the wall / roads… (3/13) #StandUpForAmerica #CommitmentToAmerica

@mirandadevine

This is right by @mirandadevine, as we have said for 2+ months (incl. @StephenM). @GOPLeader is correct, but ALL @HouseGOP must be pressed & @SteveScalise must whip it. @LeaderMcConnell must demand it of @SenateGOP. THREAD: (1/6) nypost.com/2022/09/25/rep…

The following 42 House members & 14 senate members have pledged to AT LEAST oppose any “omnibus” spending bill OR “CR” into a lame duck… hardly a big lift, when we SHOULD be holding up funding to force border security... (2/6) #StandUpForAmerica #NotOneMorePenny

Current House Signers (42): Chip Roy, Ralph Norman, Troy E. Nehls, Bob Good, Bill Posey, Mary E. Miller, Tom Tiffany, W. Gregory Steube, Andy Biggs, Michael Cloud, Scott Perry, Jody Hice, Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S., Lance Gooden, Brian Mast, Barry Moore, Clay Higgins… (3/6)

@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)
