@RepBoebert I call bullsh*t: the Institute for Legislative Analysis was just formed two months ago by a few former CPAC employees, so how 'in-depth' could it really be?. that, & there's no way you wrote that tweet by yourself, w/o a single political barb or attack. Someone else wrote it.

@tedcruz Are you kidding??? There's barely a day goes by without some 'WT-Absolute-F'-inducing story coming out of Florida, and it's been going on for quite awhile now!. If anything that advisory should be universal, not just to minorities!.

@nathaliejacoby1 Absolutely! Politics aside, mega churches are lavish & opposite of how their Bible says to live. That, to me, ins't a church; it's a tax haven.

@HawleyMO "Child labor criminals". Interesting, considering it's conservative-led states that have moved to weaken child labor laws recently. What aren't you telling us, Josh?.

@tedcruz @KenPaxtonTX It's one thing if this had been brought about by dems, lobbyists, etc., but that's not the case here. Your own fellow republican legislators brought this about, and only after Paxton insisted that taxpayers foot the bill for one of his lawsuits. This is on him, and him alone.

@SpeakerMcCarthy You guys have been preparing to default for months, regardless of what anyone else does (unless they completely bowed to you, of course). You've been chomping at the proverbial bit for it. Acting like that wasn't the plan while attempting to blame the other side . well, let's.

@tedcruz This is yet another reminder that these investigations started (long) before Trump announced he was running for president again. Also, you're implying that some Americans should truly be above the law. Not a good look, Ted.

@TulsiGabbard Trump was being investigated before he became anyone's political opponent. If it were anyone else they'd already be serving time. I refuse to condemn the process. I'm loyal to no politician.

@RepNancyMace @RepRaskin This all could've been avoided by holding public hearings as requested, but apparently transparency w/ the public is too much to ask for. You & your colleagues are doing the exact opposite of what you say you want for your constituents, so you deserve every bit of humiliation.

@JoJoFromJerz Something tells me that as a real estate guy he'll take the same route as lenders, take whatever increases a default results in, and double them before passing it on to the borrower / tenant / etc. Why not turn a problem into a revenue stream? Who's going to stop him / them?.

@joncoopertweets DeSantis has no reason to care; he's getting the popularity he wants from the group that he wants it from. As long as his fame outshines any negatives for him (not the state or others; there's a difference) there's no reason to expect that to change, either.

@DeAngelisCorey Okay, great. They're government schools. They're not -- at least in theory -- subject to religion, which historically has limited education at every opportunity. For that, I have always supported them & will continue to do so.

@JoJoFromJerz I remember talking about something similar with someone and being told that 'God's plan doesn't necessarily require anyone to be alive'. I was already walking away from religion at that point, but things like that made it much easier to do so.

@ATVI_AB So Mr. Kotick appreciates those coming forward for their courage. I guess we'll know for sure when we find out how many of those courageous people still have their jobs in 6-12 months, and if anything has changed besides updated NDA's and arbitration agreements.

@GregAbbott_TX The for-profit prison industry is having wet dreams over this one! Sounds like a lot of expense over time, though. If you're gonna shell out cash like this, why not pay regular families to house / sponsor asylum seekers while their cases are pending. I'm sure they could use.

@AdamKinzinger I'm still convinced that Putin's people discreetly reached out to MAGA lawmakers and offered them something to cut off Ukraine. Why else would they care about it so much? They've never threatened to cut off Israel in the decades that we've propped them up. Follow the money.

@laurenboebert So convince your state to reject all federal spending on it. It's a start, and from the way you've been tweeting you guys don't need or want federal handout money anyway. If we can get enough red states to 'pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps', as you claim you should be.

@1215Deb @letsgohawksgpg No; to a con-man a position like that is not only the ultimate feather in one's cap, but it's the difference between million dollar cons & billion dollar ones. It'll be decades before we know the full extent of the Trump presidency, & how it benefited him & his family.
