Dems are nervous because Americans know Joe Biden wrecked the economy and is mentally unfit to serve.

But that's no reason to take the radical, illegal, and unAmerican step of partisan AGs and secretaries of state removing opponents from the ballot. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was aimed at Confederates. The ideas it applies to President Trump, who hasn't been charged (let alone convicted) with insurrection is a farce.

This would deny Americans the chance to vote and select our leaders.

The $1.6 trillion of student loan debt that Biden wants taxpayers to pay is ~$13,000 for every family in America.

Why should those who didn't go to college or responsibly paid their loans be responsible for $13,000 in new debt? Most Americans did not graduate from college. And these Americans earn less than college graduates.

So why is Biden making those with less income responsible for the debts of the wealthy?

The White House is attacking me for pointing out that Biden is causing inflation.

Instead of lashing out, they should focus on fixing the mess they created.

Here's how Biden's policies are driving up inflation: ImageImageImage President Biden's first action was to block the Keystone pipeline. Next, he ended oil & gas leases on federal land. Then, he appointed anti-energy progressives to his cabinet.

These actions reduced our supply and drove up the cost of energy. ImageImageImage

🚨Conservatives need to focus on a critical fight that hasn’t gotten enough attention: the Democrats' effort to stuff amnesty into a reconciliation bill.

Here’s why this matters: Democrats don’t have 60 Senate votes for amnesty, so they have a new trick: pretend the biggest immigration bill in decades is part of their “budget” bill to pass it on a party-line vote through reconciliation.

Ranked-choice voting is a corrupt scam. Ranked-choice voting is confusing, complicated, and it's ripe for fraud.

How can anyone trust that a voter's fourth-place choice was accurately tabulated on the eighth round of ranking?

Look at the debacle in New York City right now.

In '22, we will win back the House and Senate through Iowa.

I was glad to speak at the @IowaGOP state dinner with @kaufmannGOP, @joniernst, and @GrassleyWorks. I talked about what we learned from China unleashing the pandemic. And how the media treated those who saw the obvious and spoke the truth.

We were right. They were wrong.

And China was lying all along.

In just six months, we've already seen the damage of Democratic control of congress.

Record inflation, open borders, a surge in crime, and crushing debt.

We need to fire Pelosi & Schumer, and that's why I'm launching the Veterans to Victory program.

cottonforvets.com My campaign will help conservative veterans across the country win.

The first three veterans in the program are all outstanding leaders who deserve our support.

Psaki is wrong.

Pushing toxic critical race theory on kids is indoctrination.

And the Biden administration is doing it from the White House. The Biden DOE wants to prioritize grants in American history and civics education programs that push critical race theory on children.

Biden's decision to give away American vaccine IP to China and the world sets a dangerous precedent and could hurt future vaccine development.

It also may *reduce* the number of safe COVID vaccines available.

Here's why: The limiting factor for vaccine development is not intellectual property. It's the supply chain.

Pfizer's vaccine requires 280 materials produced by suppliers in 19 different countries.

All Americans need to realize what the Democrats are trying to do with H.R. 1.

They're calling it the "For the People Act."

The truth is, it's the "Corrupt Politicians Act."

Here's how bad this bill is: The Constitution entrusts elections to the states. But Democrats are trying to seize control over elections in all 50 states with a federal takeover.

This power grab is designed to undermine the integrity of our elections and keep Democrats in power forever.

Pelosi and the Dems are pushing a sweeping new law that would encourage election fraud, unconstitutionally seize power from the states, and send your tax dollars to politicians.

The bill is ironically called "For the People," but the truth is it's a corrupt power grab. Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about election integrity.

If she did, she wouldn't be trying to disenfranchise voters and steal an election in Iowa right now.

On March 6 at 10:12am, the Senate voted on an amendment to exclude prisoners—like the Boston Bomber—from getting stimulus checks.

Every Democrat voted to send checks to prisoners, and every Republican voted to stop prisoners from getting checks.

Here's the vote: The left recognizes that this was a bad idea and that they're going to pay a price at the polls.

Get ready for campaign ads.

So liberals and their media allies are trying to spin it for damage control.

Vanita Gupta, one of President Biden's top DOJ nominees, wants murderers, rapists, and drug traffickers to be able to sue police officers—even if the criminals' clear rights weren't violated. Image Despite what the jailbreak lobby says, police can already be sued personally—but only when they violate clearly established rights.

This is the doctrine of "qualified immunity" (QI).

Vanita Gupta, President Biden's nominee for Associate Attorney General, would make America less safe. She must be stopped. More than 83k Americans died from drug overdoses last year, but Gupta wants to “decriminalize" possession of ALL drugs, even fentanyl.

Opioids are already ravaging our communities—we shouldn't give fentanyl, heroin, or cocaine dealers get-out-of-jail-free cards.

The Washington Post takes issue with me pointing out that Biden's pick for DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, abused his office to sell green cards on behalf of rich Democratic donors.

But the Inspector General appointed by Barack Obama found that this was true.

Look at the report: The Inspector General found that Mayorkas was aware of the need to follow the statute, regulations, and policies regarding EB-5 visas.

The liberal media is swooning over the “A-Team” of “hyper-competent” and “incredibly kind” Obama-Biden alums getting back together.

These reporters and pundits were swooning over the same people a decade ago while they presided over absolute chaos abroad. These are the same people who knocked over Libya in 2011, leading to a decade of nightmarish civil war and jihadi terror.

A case study in “competence.”

Every day, the media tells us the lie that our country is racist, the president is racist, we’re all racist—and the only way to atone is by voting for liberal Democrats.

Americans of all races have had enough of this unpatriotic garbage. President Trump just won heavily Latino border counties that have voted Democrat since the dawn of time. These Americans voted for their families and the flag.

Liberals on TV aren’t going to shame them into hiding their love for this country.

This weekend, Ibram Kendi suggested that Judge Amy Barrett is like a "white colonizer" for adopting two children from Haiti, and that she is "using" her children "as props." The tweet is still up, and it's disgusting, racist, and cruel. We should expect these type of smears from a fraud like Kendi, who raises lots of money from credulous liberals, but with reportedly little output to show for it.

Excited to speak tonight at #RNC2020. I'll talk about Joe Biden's catastrophic record on foreign policy and China.

@realDonaldTrump's strength has kept us out of war. If we want peace, we must be strong. President Obama's own Secretary of Defense famously said that Biden has been wrong on virtually every major foreign policy decision in a generation.

A lot of liberals are claiming it's the "end of democracy" because the USPS is moving underused collection boxes.

Was the Obama administration in on this conspiracy when they removed 14,000 mailboxes from 2011-2016? If the President was trying to destroy the USPS in a convoluted scheme to steal the election, why would the Treasury Department have just finalized a $10 BILLION loan to the USPS (which it hasn't yet touched)?
