1/x By threatening to not hold a trial for Mayorkas's impeachment, Chuck Schumer is breaking Senate precedent.

There have been 21 impeachments sent to the Senate. The Senate held a full trial for 17 of these impeachments. 2/x Of the impeachments that did not receive a trial, two were mooted because the person resigned, one was dismissed for jurisdictional grounds, and the House withdrew the impeachment in the final one.

None of these exceptions apply to Mayorkas, so the trial should proceed.

1/x This is a lie. Brazen and unambiguous.

Here's Joe Biden endorsing the Women’s Health Protection Act, legislation that would have codified abortion on demand up until birth in all 50 states.

1/x Joe Biden and Biden administration officials are pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel. Since day one of their administration, they have launched campaigns against our Israeli allies that are granular, whole of government, and done in secret. 2/x This new boycott of Israeli Jews is yet another example. The State Department is telling the entire U.S. government not to cooperate with Jews in Judea and Samaria. And, of course, it was sent to Congress in secret and only revealed because reporters found out.

1/x Sure.

- First, the Dem party founded the KKK.

- Then the Dem party wrote Jim Crow laws.

- Then the Dem party filibustered the Civil Rights Act. 2/x - Today, the Dem part filibusters school choice—trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools.

- Today, the Dem party pushes abolishing the police, which results in many more Black lives murdered.

- Today, every Dem senator voted against my bill to stop DC from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Our economy is now on the edge of what would be a fiscal catastrophe all because of the Biden administration’s ineptitude.

After doing next to nothing to avoid a rail strike, President Biden assured the American people that this matter was settled. That was a brazen lie. 1/x Now, this admin expects Congress to step into the dispute & pick winners & losers.

As a matter of principle, I don’t support gov intervention to decide terms of employment. We shld extend the cooling-off period, as Congress has done b4, & send both parties back to the table. 2/x

Stories like this one are why Americans don’t trust the corrupt media.

If the DMN had any credibility, they would have contacted my office prior to printing this disinformation.

DMN would have learned that the Texas Bar DISMISSED this bogus complaint back in June! 1/x ImageImageImage Texas Bar 'examined the Grievance and determined that the information alleged does not demonstrate Professional Misconduct or a Disability. Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, this matter has therefore been classified as an Inquiry and has been dismissed.' 2/x

1/x This is an example of the dishonest, self-righteous idiocy that Martha’s Vineyard produced.

Dems & their useful idiots say it’s “dehumanizing” to send 50 people to a billionaires’ luxury island retreat.

That makes no sense. What’s dehumanizing is Biden allowing 4.2 MILLION. 2/x What’s dehumanizing are the 100s of thousands of children sexually assaulted by traffickers under Biden.

What’s cruel are the hundreds of immigrants abandoned to die by traffickers under Biden.

What’s dehumanizing are the 100,000+ Americans who died last year of fentanyl.

1/x Do you want to put your 401k in the hands of the people who think there's 0% inflation? 2/x Do you want to keep our economy in the hands of people who can't even define a recession?

Complete horse manure.

The Iran nuclear deal is designed to let the Ayatollah cheat his way to a nuclear arsenal.

These so-called "most rigorous and intensive" inspections failed in the last deal - and will be even weaker this time.

Let's review the actual facts. 🧵 1/X These "most rigorous and intensive" inspections missed that Iran was hiding a Nuclear Archive to build nuclear weapons.

Israel exposed that in 2018. 2/X isis-online.org/isis-reports/d…

1/x The FBI raiding Donald Trump is unprecedented.

It is corrupt & an abuse of power.

What Nixon tried to do, Biden has now implemented: The Biden Admin has fully weaponized DOJ & FBI to target their political enemies.

And with 87K new IRS agents, they’re coming for YOU too. 2/x Congress must demand answers. We need hearings; we need subpoenas.

Dems in charge will refuse, but the American people deserve to know why Biden is using the FBI as his political enforcers.

Tin-pot dictators do that, but that’s not how America works.

Today has been 49 years in the making.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case, reversing Roe v. Wade, is nothing short of a massive victory for life, and it will save the lives of millions of innocent babies. 1/x The decision reverses one of the most egregious departures from the Constitution & legal precedent the U.S. has ever seen, & one that has resulted in the deaths of 63 million American children. Roe was wrong the day it was decided, & it has been wrong every day since then. 2/x

1/x Silly hit piece that is, inadvertently, a powerful expose of today’s dishonest corporate media:

“Last week, I got a prime example of how Cruz manipulates the press. On Monday, I and a number of other reporters caught Cruz in the halls of the Senate….” 2/x “…I particularly wanted to ask him if he trusted Cornyn to protect Second Amendment rights in those gun control negotiations.
Instead, the pack of reporters surrounding Cruz were treated to a long soliloquy….”

Is it any surprise that the next generation of NYT “journalists” made the “brave” decision to attack Israel?

Harvard has a long & sorry tradition of anti-Semitism: from its anti-Jewish quotas in the 50s to this shameful embrace of #BDS 2/x The Senate UNANIMOUSLY condemned #BDS as anti-Semitism, when it passed the Cruz-Kaine resolution:

Biden’s speech tonight was shockingly reckless and out of touch.

He was either completely unaware of or indifferent to major issues impacting Americans today: empty grocery store shelves, record inflation, and authoritarian COVID mandates. 1/x He shocked the world by giving Putin a green light to invade Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians will see his comments and lose hope that the West will stand against Russian aggression. 2/x

Yesterday, I used a dumb choice of words and unfortunately a lot of people are misunderstanding what I meant. I was NOT calling the thousands of peaceful protestors on Jan 6 terrorists. I would never do so; I have repeatedly, explicitly said the OPPOSITE—denouncing the Democrats’ shameful efforts to do so & to try to paint every Trump voter in America as “terrorists” & “insurrectionists”

I’m proud to endorse Edinburg native @CasandraLGarcia for Congress in Texas’s 28th Congressional District.

I have worked with Cassy for many years and I have seen firsthand how she has served the communities of South Texas with excellence and dedication. secure.winred.com/cassy-for-cong… We need fearless leaders like Cassy in Congress who will fight back against Biden’s extreme agenda and who will work to fix the border crisis.

The corporate media is, in a word…corrupt.

An entire article devoted to defending poor Dr. Fauci & attacking me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They say I’ve called for a special prosecutor for Fauci, but they don’t say WHY.

That he LIED to Congress—a felony—about funding Wuhan. thenation.com/article/politi… 2/x Pro tip: if @thenation is going to pretend to be journalists, they could try reporting, you know, some actual FACTS. Here are several:

(1) On May 11, Fauci testified that “the NIH has not ever & does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Fauci is an unelected technocrat who has distorted science and facts in order to exercise authoritarian control over millions of Americans.

He lives in a liberal world where his smug “I REPRESENT science” attitude is praised.

Here are the facts: (1) On May 11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Today, we can again take pride in our criminal justice system for delivering justice based on the facts presented in a court of law. 1/x The evidence in the Ahmaud Arbery trial demonstrated that the three defendants followed, assaulted, falsely imprisoned, & tragically murdered Mr. Arbery. 2/x

1/x Pretty stunning that she’s an @nbc anchor. She “doesn’t have an answer.” Try this:

(1) He WAS charged with six counts. That thing that just finished was his trial.

(2) A jury of his peers found him not guilty.

(3) Why? The defense argued he was engaged in self-defense. 2/x (4) What facts support self defense?

- the three people shot all chased him, assaulted him and/or tried to grab his gun

- ALL THREE were convicted felons (on served 15 years for child molesting)

- the defense argued Rittenhouse feared for his life

I think the new muppet is great.

Dems compulsively try to project their bigotry onto everyone else.

Biden dismissed DOJ civil rights suit against Yale for discriminating against #AsianAmericans

I filed a bill to stop Asian American college discrimination; EVERY DEM voted NO. 1/x Lots of Lefties having their usual intelligent response: “nuh uh!”

No facts, no substance, just ad hominem insults.

Here is a link to the vote results: senate.gov/legislative/LI…
