Clinton-appointed, senior D.C. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly is weaponizing the judicial process.

Kollar-Kotelly has a long record of abusing her power to advance a radical progressive Democrat agenda.

Here are the WORST instances of partisan justice.🧵 Image Just last week, Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Paulette Harlow, a 75-year-old grandmother, to 2 YEARS in prison for PRAYING at an abortion clinic.

Kollar-Kotelly said she hopes Harlow will “make an effort to remain alive” because that is a “tenet of [Harlow’s] religion.” Image

Biden is LYING about @HouseGOP’s responsible debt ceiling plan

Why?

Because he doesn’t want Americans to know the truth that HIS rampant spending is fueling the inflation and policies that are ACTUALLY hurting our veterans

THREAD What Biden isn’t telling you is that HIS OWN Office of Management of Budget suggested cutting the VA by 22%

Just look at this letter the VA sent Democrat appropriators

Meanwhile, House Republicans have NEVER said this Image

We got text for the 4,155-page $1.7 TRILLION spending bill at 1:30 AM yesterday

This monstrosity empowers Biden to carry out his agenda for another 9 months

But @LeaderMcConnell called it “a strong outcome for Republicans”

We’ll let you be the judge of that…

🧵THREAD: First, let’s look at the numbers:

It increases baseline spending by about $118 BILLION (8%)

And it spends a total of $772.5 on “non-defense” programs – aka $ for bureaucrats

This type of spending has FAR outpaced defense spending in recent years

🧵THREAD: The National Defense Authorization Act includes language ENDING @DeptofDefense's tyrannical COVID-19 vaccine mandate

But merely ending the mandate is NOT ENOUGH.

This NDAA FAILS our unvaccinated service members in several key areas ⬇️ 2/ This language does NOTHING to stop the military from retaliating against unvaccinated service members, including:

❌Forcing them to wear masks
❌Refusing to deploy them
❌Excluding them from other valuable career opportunities

They PLAN to do this!

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. 🧵🧵🧵

#NotOneMorePenny #StandUpForAmerica 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.

🚨Dems don’t want you to know their massive tax & spend bill will:

-INCREASE inflation
-Massively EXPAND the IRS
-Empower China
-Expand government-run healthcare
-Fund unreliable+destructive forms of energy
-Give crony handouts to corporations

Let’s EXPOSE this bill...
🧵THREAD Don’t buy the bill’s name – even BERNIE SANDERS admits it won’t do a thing to address the inflation that is cutting into American paychecks

In fact, @BudgetModel found it would actually INCREASE inflation through 2024!

The Biden admin’s failure to enforce our laws is KILLING people – the 46 dead migrants in Texas are just one more terrible example
