This is absurd. Longs lines and 45% of Social Security employees are teleworking. Americans who rely on Social Security deserve better. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… “acting commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi told employees in a recent email that their telework schedules would continue through ‘at least’ March 31 of next year.”

Politics isn’t a game & we need to stop playing games with rebuilding our country’s infrastructure. The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act is a historic investment in our nation’s infrastructure. But there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Let’s clear it up. (1/9) First, this is a HARD infrastructure bill—$110 billion for roads and highways; $65 billion in grants for broadband deployment; $55 billion for water infrastructure, which includes sewage and drainage system improvements; (2/9)

I have been asked regarding challenging the Electoral College count. I post this so that people can know what and why I decided.

I voted for President Trump and supported his agenda. I have defended President Trump from attacks from the media and from fellow Senators. (1/x) I supported President Trump’s right to challenge the election results in court. The dozens and dozens of legal challenges from President Trump's legal team have all been rejected, many by judges appointed by President Trump. Every one of them. (2/x)

I voted for President Trump’s proposal to re-open government, put 800,000 federal employees back to work, and secure our border. President Trump has made multiple offers to Democrats. I hope they will soon negotiate. cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/press… An increasing number of Democrats in Congress say they are willing to support physical barriers on the southern border:

On #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay it’s sad to see Democrats still calling to #AbolishICE. Last night @AOC falsely said “a child died in ICE custody” and accused ICE officers of “systematically violat[ing] human rights.” Blaming border patrol (CBP) for the tragic death of a child who was brought on an extremely dangerous journey is wrong & ignores the facts.

Obama 2014: "Do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it, they'll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it.”

Senate Democrats have a very simple choice to make today. Either they will vote to keep the government open and secure our border, or they will vote for open borders, drug trafficking, and a government shutdown. A few Democrats campaigned this year on building the wall and securing the border. Did they mean it?

On Democrats’ latest bogus health care claim that Republicans want to take away health insurance protections for people with #PreExistingConditions: In '96, Republicans controlled the House & Senate & passed the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act, ultimately signed into law. It “strictly limit[ed] the ability of insurance companies to deny coverage to Americans with preexisting conditions," per @WashingtonPost.
