🧵Read my report with @RepLoudermilk @oversightadmn and @judiciaryGOP to bring transparency to the facts surrounding the mystery of the Pipe Bomber.

cha.house.gov/press-releases… 🧵Key Takeaways: The January 6 pipe bombs played a role in diverting resources and facilitating the breach of the Capitol.

🧵 Last night Trump endorsed the idea of eliminating the Department of Education!

On February 7th, 2017, the US Senate confirmed Betsy DeVos as Trump’s Secretary of Education.

Purposefully, on that same day, I introduced HR 899, a bill to terminate the Department of Education.

🧵 I remember meeting Betsy DeVos for the first time at the White House Christmas party and that uncomfortable moment when I told her I was trying to eliminate her department.

To my surprise she quietly agreed.

She said publicly this week she would eliminate the department!

Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven. Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time.





She was valedictorian at our high school where we went to the Prom together, accepted at MIT and Harvard, earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from MIT, and devoted her life to our family.

#EndTheFed 🧵 :

Americans are suffering under crippling inflation, and the Federal Reserve is largely to blame.

During COVID, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and loaned it to the Treasury Department to enable unprecedented deficit spending. 🧵 By monetizing the debt, the Fed devalued the dollar and enabled free money policies that caused the high inflation we see today.

Monetizing debt is a closely coordinated effort between the White House, the Fed, Treasury Department, Congress, Big Banks, and Wall Street.

🧵 At the time of that breakfast with Scalia, John Boehner was Speaker of the House and Barack Obama was President.

There was concern that Obama was doing things we hadn’t authorized and Boehner had convinced most of my GOP colleagues there wasn’t anything we could do about it. 🧵 Scalia finished his breakfast and began to speak. He started by saying that being a referee between us and the executive branch was not his job.

He explained that his job as a jurist was to determine if there was harm and what the remedy might be.

🧵I once had breakfast with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and about 18 other members of Congress in a private room at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington DC.

He was invited to speak on the topic of “restoring the constitutional balance of government.” 🧵 At the time of that breakfast with Scalia, John Boehner was Speaker of the House and Barack Obama was President.

There was concern that Obama was doing things we hadn’t authorized and Boehner had convinced most of my GOP colleagues there wasn’t anything we could do about it.

🧵 How does Lucy pull the football from Charlie Brown in Congress?

This $100 billion bill that moves us to the brink of war around the globe…

began as a House bill to help VETERANS get reimbursed for emergency care!



🧵 The Veterans’ bill, HR 815, passed the House as a Veterans’ bill and went to the Senate.

The Senate stripped every word from it, inserted the foreign aid supplemental, and sent it back to the House.

The House will vote on 4 separate bills (Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, +other).

🧵 Many people have been misled today.

There was not a vote on the FISA bill.

There was a vote on a resolution that would have allowed FISA, as well as 6 amendments to it, including a warrant requirement amendment, and three other pieces of legislation to come to the floor. On partisan procedural votes like this, Democrats reflexively vote no and Republicans typically vote yes.

19 Republicans voted with all the Democrats to stop everything from coming to the floor today, including the warrant amendment to FISA.

🚨 CDC discloses they have at least a dozen medical industry LOBBYING GROUPS, officially SERVING alongside 15 voting members, on ACIP, the supposedly independent vaccine board that just approved the 9th booster shot.

CDC list of the ACIP board:

Here is CDC’s list of “liaison members” serving on the vaccine advisory. I will include publicly available lobbying activity from these organizations in subsequent posts. But pick any one of them and search for their name + lobbying, and you can research this yourself.

We just scored a big victory against the woke takeover of American financial organizations. After Chairman Jordan and I called them out for potential violations of antitrust law, major corporations dropped their involvement with an Environment, Social, and Governance ESG group.
reuters.com/sustainability… Chairman Jordan and I (as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust) wrote
@BlackRock, @Vanguard_Group, @StateStreet, and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero about their ESG coordination.

This is one of the letters:

26 to 0!

The Judiciary committee passed my bill (HR 6824) requiring FBI to provide demographic data of persons ruled ineligible to purchase a firearm by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

False denials disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities. The complete debate over my bill, the amendment discussion, and the roll call vote on passage are shown here unedited.

Thank you Chairman Jim Jordan for advancing this legislation and thank you Ranking Member Nadler and Representative Jackson Lee for supporting this bill.

J6 pipe bomb 🧵

On 6/7/23 the House Judiciary Committee interviewed Steven D’Antuono, former FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the DC field office.

Most of the interview covered topics such as the warrant served at Mar a Lago, but I asked questions about the J6 pipe bombs. If you are just becoming familiar with the rapidly collapsing narrative of the J6 pipe bombs, I suggest reading @DarrenJBeattie’s comprehensive and insightful coverage of this topic.

The purpose of this thread is to post the original transcript of my interview with the FBI ADIC.

Pastures can convert sunlight, animal waste, and CO2 into grass which is fuel for self propelled protein generating machinery we call cattle.

The protein this system generates is imminently digestible by humans with no post-processing other than cutting and optional cooking. 1/5 Grass and cattle can regenerate and reinforce each other indefinitely in harmony with nature and with almost no human input, as evidenced by existence of this cycle with tens of millions of bison on the plains of North America before our intervention. 2/5

THREAD:

Friday we voted on a bill to:

*fund appropriations at 92% for 30 days.

*pass HR-2, the Republican border security bill (sans e-verify)

*establish a debt commission.

I voted for it, but that bill failed because 21 republicans and every democrat voted against it. The senate began moving a bill to fund the government at 100% for 45 days and send billions to Ukraine.

Some representatives in the House were ready to vote for that bill. In fact, GOP leadership (McConnell) in the Senate endorsed that bill. It was advancing as the likely option

(1/4) Did you know the only way to buy beef or pork or lamb from your local farmer and have it processed by a trusted local non-USDA facility is to buy the whole animal while it’s alive and pay to have it butchered yourself?! (2/4) Most folks aren’t able to buy a whole animal or share a whole animal with other families, much less keep all of that meat in a freezer for months!

So they’re forced to buy from a supermarket & farmers are forced to sell their animals to multinational monopolies.

When our Constitution is amended, everything in the Constitution that precedes the amendment is subject to the amendment.

The base text does not overrule the amendment; the amendment overrules the base text. Art 1, Sec 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution states:

“Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.”

ROAD MAP THREAD:

There are at least 5 things Congress calls “spending.”

1. Budgets from budget committee.

2. Authorizations to spend money from various committees.

3. Appropriations from approps committee.

4. Entitlements/nondiscretionary spending by law.

5. Debt limit. BUDGET

It’s an aspirational guideline that typically covers 10 years. It’s reported from the House Budget committee. Years 2 thru 10 are routinely ignored. It considers discretionary and non-discretionary spending. Ironically it’s not very relevant to Congressional spending.

Let’s review the Federal Reserve Bank’s many roles, & how each of them enabled the SVB failure/malfeasance:

(1) Santa Claus.
By keeping interest rates artificially low, FED stimulated the economy, & nudged those with capital into the VC space creating demand for a bank like SVB. (2) Arsonist.
FED created $5 trillion out of thin air so Congress could inject this money into the economy. There weren’t 5 trillion dollars to borrow during COVID, and certainly not at the low rates imposed by FED. Inflation was off to the races thanks to dilution.

Our government has built an elaborate but Constitutionally unsound framework for violating your natural rights. (1/5) As we have seen with the Twitter files, they boldly work in close cooperation with private actors who aren’t subject to the Constitutional restrictions imposed on government by our Founders.

@ggreenwald There was a serious effort in 2013 to begin an open proxy war with Russia in Syria. Obama seemed to be for it, but tossed the ball to Congress. The American people weren’t for it, so House leadership quietly killed the vote. There were other non-legislative attempts afterwards. @ggreenwald For instance…
