I'm a hard NO on any bill legitimizing illegal immigration.

As I read the Swamp's latest amnesty disaster, I'm already noticing many damaging and dangerous provisions.

Will add examples below... 👇 America Last, Ukraine First from the DC Swamp - literally.

Their priorities are clear, as shown in the first section of the bill summary.

.@shellenberger's reporting on the CTIL files is worth reading in full.

Two key players pushing for the global Censorship Industrial Complex say the quiet parts out loud in this 2019 podcast interview.

Here are some of their most sinister admissions: “[we’re] trying to change their belief sets.”

This is Orwellian stuff.

@No_1Imp0rtant 1. Nope.
2. Nope. "Enforceable" 1% cap 2 yrs (of the kind Congress agreed to ignore every yr 2014-21). Yrs 3-6 just targets w/ no teeth.
3. Nope. Just expands existing work requirements for recipients aged 18-49 to ages 50-54 & creates 4 new exemption categories. Might REDUCE./1 @No_1Imp0rtant 4. Apparently true.
5. Nope. Only a $1.4B partial rescission of $80B Dems gave IRS last year. That's 1.75% of total and NO CONCEIVABLE EFFECT for 10 yrs to come.
6. Nope. Biden can waive the restriction and bill is explicit that waiver decision cannot be challenged in court./2

This is a new side-by-side by @chiproytx, analyzing details of legislative text, comparing bill the House passed. Devastating.

@chiproytx And some descriptions are loose. "Minor 'work requirements' for SNAP & TANF" sound like at least something. But this only "gradually" broadens requirements for recipients aged 18-49 to extend up to age 54, and adds four new categories of exemptions. Might REDUCE scope.

Using state prosecutorial authority, especially in an unusual way, for political retaliation against a former president and/or to intimidate or manipulate his presidential candidacy violates the United States Constitution. Everyone recognizes this is happening in New York. Some whose political spite for President Trump is boundless — and who may not appreciate the dangers of this precedent — are gleeful, but the fact that political motivations are operating no one really doubts.

.@kielinstitute just updated its comparison of military, economic and humanitarian commitments to the Ukraine war through Jan. 15, 2023. Four charts tell the tale: This European conflict is being charged to Uncle Sam’s credit card (and Biden wants the limit increased). The appearance that European central institutions have an edge in even one category — financial support for the Ukrainian government — is misleading. Europe makes loans; America makes grants.

My team and I are reading through the omnibus bill today - all $1.7 trillion and 4,155 pages of it.

Follow along for some of the most egregious provisions in the bill ⬇️ It expressly prohibits CBP funding from being used to improve border security.

The NDAA does NOT permanently repeal the vaccine mandate.

Declarations of victory are premature.🧵 Sec. 525 of the bill requires the DOD to rescind the memo establishing the mandate w/in 30 days, but does not prohibit them from re-establishing the mandate.

Do we really think that the administration won’t take advantage of this?

Weeks before the 2020 election, the FBI announced it had foiled an alleged plot to kidnap the Michigan governor.

But now, in 2022, the story is VERY different. What happened, who authorized this operation, and is this typical of the DOJ's domestic terrorism unit?

🧵 This past April, 2 of the men charged were acquitted on grounds of entrapment. The jury was hung on 2 others, and their retrial begins next month.

How did we get here? This was one of the biggest domestic terror ops in decades.

Last night, the House voted to favor NATO membership for Finland and Sweden:

I voted NO. 🧵 Expanding NATO to the border of Russia is a serious matter, and the House has not given it careful and deliberate consideration.

I voted against the FY23 NDAA. This bill hurts our troops and fails to meet the moment. Business as usual in Washington is not good enough – Congress cannot continue to rubber-stamp massive spending binges with nearly zero accountability. (1/5) This bill does nothing to end Biden’s vaccine mandate, which is an intentional purge of thousands of our best and bravest troops. As the NDAA refuses to protect our troops from Biden’s vaxx mandate, it also further entrenches our nation in unwise foreign policy blunders. (2/5)
