#NCGestapo
In the depth of night, Republicans pushed through North Carolina's $300 billion dollar budget, and at the same time, they created a “Secret Police” with extraordinary powers. This has ushered in a dark era for Democracy.
/1 The 'Gov Ops Committee,' is reminiscent of the notorious Gestapo from NAZI history.

The parallels are chilling; 'Geheime Staatspolizei,' translating to 'Secret State Police,' brings haunting memories of brutal methods and fascist, authoritarian rule.

It's one thing to be an out-of-touch #extremerich dude who moved here and took the U.S. Oath of Allegiance on Oct 1st, 2002. But here we are over 20 years later and you used your wealth and power to aid the enemy of our allies. Who in the hell do you think you are? /1 You have betrayed the oath of allegiance. We don't know if #Ukraine would have been successful or not. Interfering on behalf of Russia has prolonged Putin's illegal war. Your status doesn't give you the right to play armchair Quarterback.

Hey, @BillCassidy you were on @ThisWeekABC claiming the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" will raise taxes on those making less than $200,000 and referred to the Joint Committee on Taxation for this claim. Can you provide where @JCTgov stated this? I can't find it. /1 According to the Editors at Bloomberg @opinion

"this is a sober attempt at fiscal responsibility"

"this compromise would be a big win...for the US Taxpayer. As America's loquacious president once said in another context, it's a big effing deal." /2

It's fitting that today marks both #JuneteenthDay and #FathersDay.

Maybe we should talk a bit about that intersection.

In June of 1865, 3 months after the end of the war and 2 and 1/2 years after the Emancipation proclamation was signed. Finally, on June 19, 1865, #NC08
1/10 General Order No. 3 was issued which freed enslaved people in Texas. Finally, free at last.

How many enslaved fathers were there that couldn't be with their children? How many families did that forever impact? #NC08

We have a National teacher shortage. The teachers we have are spending their own money on school supplies. The teachers we do have are working unpaid overtime every day. The teachers we do have are expected and.... #nc08

The @GOP complained for over 6 mos., blamed Pres. Biden for high gas prices and then voted NO on H.R.7688 - Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. Here is the list. It's almost like they want the Oil Co. to price gouge for more profits.🤔

Full list of 192 House Republicans who voted against FDA Baby Formula Bill. They would rather create fake outrage and chaos, than prevent infant starvation.

They are not #ProLife, they are #ProBirth. Please share, retweet and VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT.
