I’m back again! One of the things I love to hate about Washington is that they look at challenges the same way every time, despite the evidence that their last plan didn’t work.

I'm BACK. I'm not as back as the Trump folks; they're SO back. I'm just back. What are some of your Festivus traditions? Tell us in the replies! I tried to get feats of strength on the Senate floor as a tradition, but since everyone else is over 80, there weren't many takers.

It's that time of year again. Happy Festivus! I've got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. It’s hard to decide where to start these grievances. Every year, I think, there can’t be THAT many more can there?

But when you’re surrounded by people in Congress every day, it’s not a problem at all.

🧵 1/4

Tonight the Senate was given the chance to vote on amendments to help fix a slew of unconstitutional provisions to RISAA, the fake FISA reform bill and truly reform other government spying practices as well. 🧵 2/4

My 1st amendment included my bipartisan 4th Amendment is Not for Sale Act (already passed by the House). It would have ended the government’s practice of buying its way around the Bill of Rights by purchasing Americans’ personal data.

Defeated 31-61

Ecohealth's Peter Daszak: "we have 15,000 samples in freezers in Wuhan"

Congress voted for a so-called reform of the US Postal Service in 2021 (I voted no!).  The results:  the annual Postal Debt — $4 billion per year BEFORE the reform,  now -- $6.3 billion per year. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/294525… 📭🧵2/5
Amidst declining mail volume and vast increases in annual debt, the geniuses at the Postal Service hired 125,000 new employees.

1. Ukraine Aid with No Strings Attached: This bill funnels $7.85 billion taxpayer dollars for the lavish salaries of Ukrainian bureaucrats in addition to $60 billion more to fund their war. AND this is all on top of the previous $113 billion Congress doled out to the corrupt regime. 2. Border "Security": In this massive spending bill of $118 billion, the Swamp allocated almost 6x as much to OTHER countries than to our own border. Congress, as usual, is trying to send billions to secure other countries, while our own border crisis is a complete afterthought.

I’ve been watching the GOP Primary closely for a while now, and I like various aspects of several candidates - Republicans like President @realDonaldTrump, Governor @RonDeSantis, and @VivekGRamaswamy. @realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy I’m interested in the ideas of some independents too, such as @RobertKennedyJr.

Everyone knows the old joke about detecting when a certain person is lying...Just check to see if their lips are moving. In Anthony Fauci, a better test is simply to compare what he says privately away from the cameras with his public pronouncements, as his private words frequently directly contradict the many lies he tells in public.

I’m back with more #Festivus joy! Shall we? Years of massive spending finally caught up to us, and inflation and recession are still here.

I'M BACK for more #airingofgrievances, exposing waste, and generally pissing people off online. I would like to personally thank @elonmusk for buying this platform and allowing us all to say Happy #Festivus again. I mean, we could always say it. No one actually ever stopped us from saying it, but whatever.

It's that time of year again. Happy #Festivus! I've got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. As you prepare for holiday time with family and friends, start your celebration with us here today for the #airingofgrievances.

To allow the FBI to meet with the media to discuss the content of the news without question chills free speech. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Read the testimony of a former Facebook executive: “You can’t have a casual chat with an FBI agent when you’re an executive at a company. It’s not safe. You end up with a $3,000-an-hour row of [lawyers] sitting next to you...”

Ben Hu, patient zero, the first person in the world to become infected with COVID-19 worked at the Wuhan Institute for Virology and Tony Fauci’s NIH paid for this dangerous gain of function research. This image reveals that US tax dollars were funneled through Cal- Davis and the US State Department Predict program. blog.whitecoatwaste.org/2023/06/15/cov…

"Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus."

"Had the information come out earlier, governments may have responded to the pandemic differently. After Public shared the information with Chan, she said, “I feel vindicated, but I’m frustrated."

Good morning everyone and welcome to everyone’s favorite holiday - #Festivus! 🎉This will be the 10th year in a row that I’ve celebrated #Festivus with you 🎉By celebrated I mean have a little fun at the expense of Washington. If we don’t laugh we might cry.

It’s three days before Christmas, and predictably, Congress is on track to pass yet another $1.7 trillion spending package that no one has had the chance to read. Glomming together a 4,155-page, nearly two trillion-dollar bill and releasing it in the dead of night, days before we are forced to vote on it, is no way to run government.

If you've been forced to lose your job, in the military or anywhere else, for refusing COVID19 vaccination, reply to this tweet and let me know. I've heard from so many Kentuckians already, and want to hear your story, too. Here’s a story I received from a service member affected by this mandate. Alex Buchmann is a Captain in the Marine Corps from Arvada, Colorado. His wife was actually an intern of mine in 2014. He graduated from Hillsdale College in 2017…

Good morning from Williamsburg! Just 4 days left until victory! Stopped in Barbourville at the well-known “Swan House” for a meet and greet with some local folks!

In case you missed my Q&A with @WHAS11, here are some highlights and answers to questions you didn't even know you had. What's something about me you don't know? 🌲

What a great way to start the day bright and early in Richmond! So grateful for our amazing supporters who will help bring us a victory next week! Thank you Georgetown for coming out to rally for victory this morning! With just a week to go until Election Day, I’m excited to see so much support all across KY! Go vote!
