In his first 24 hours Governor Glenn Youngkin has ended:. - K-12 mask mandate in VA schools (what happened to being pro-children?) .- VA Green House Gas Initiative (something he can’t do).- CRT in public education (which he couldn’t define). Anti science and fear-mongering. Shame.

.@realDonaldTrump seemed genuinely confused to learn that the $28 billion “he” gave to farmers was from taxpayers. Which makes sense, because he’s genuinely confused about the concept of paying taxes. #Debates2020.

I was in the Capitol on 1/6 when Trump instigated a deadly riot to overturn an election. JD Vance says he would have blocked the certification of the election and given into that mob. He even endorsed a rioter for Congress. No one with those values should be Vice President.

The Vice President and the cabinet must invoke the 25th amendment to remove Donald Trump from office. If they won’t, the House should impeach him again, and the Senate must remove him from office. Blood is on their hands and this madman can’t serve one day longer.

Hey @newtgingrich, since I got 280,725 votes I guess that makes me qualified to say @mtgreenee is a disgrace who must resign from Congress, just like you had to. @AOC.
AOC (152,661 votes) and Maxine Waters (152,272 votes) are part of lynch mob trying to destroy Congresswoman Marjorie Greene (229,827 votes).they should calm down and read the history of John Wilkes in the 1770s and the principle that the people’s vote matters more than parliament.
