Painful reminder that Biden tried to make this woman his “disinformation czar” in charge of fact-checking and censoring our speech on social media. Then we exposed her own disinformation (she said that Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake among other lies) and it all fell apart. 😂

California's budget grew by $124 billion in 5 years under Newsom. That's over a 50% increase. Did government services get 50 percent better? On top of leading the nation in taxes, California is now number one in poverty, unemployment, homelessness, illiteracy, and retail crime.

If you have $0, you get welfare. If you have $50 million, you get a bailout. If you have $2,300 in savings, you qualify to fund the whole system and get lectured to budget better.

Beware of people telling you that “these are dark times.” They are invested in you believing this. They are counting on financially profiting off you hating life. They are not your friends. Live it up. There’s a reason you’re here right now.

Shut our government down and America loses. 2 MILLION Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP to feed their families. For me, it’s hungry Americans over party. Paying our military over party. Paying Capitol Police and federal workers over party. I choose country over party.

Newsom is trying to impose on our state the most gerrymandered map in the last 50 years. It was given an "F" by Princeton University. If you believe Californians deserve better than an F, vote No on Prop. 50.

My whole life I've been waiting for politicians to be principled and consistent. They all switch sides the minute they get into power. But finally, we have a a populist revolt out of Kentucky! @RandPaul and @RepThomasMassie are actually sticking with principles instead of party!
On @MeetThePress, I made it clear: America needs diplomacy over endless war, real debate before military action, and fiscal sanity, not $2–3 trillion deficits from either party. I’ll stand with President Trump when he’s right and stand up to government overreach when he’s not.

This is exactly what I have proposed. Nationwide Voter ID plus a national ban on gerrymandering. We are working on legislation now that I believe can pass.
My plan would restore power to the people and restore confidence in our democracy. 74% want Election Day to be a holiday. 75% believe gerrymandering is a major problem. 83% support requiring an ID to vote. Get to work, Congress. Give the people what they want and need.

Schwarzenegger calls Prop. 50 a "big scam” that “doesn’t make any sense.” This is notable because he is not a supporter of the President and is disinclined to criticize Newsom. Yet he knows that democracy in California is at stake. Vote NO! https://t.co/Y5jN7gp9Nt

So it's wrong for Texas to gerrymander before California and wrong for North Carolina to gerrymander after, but it's right for CA to gerrymander in between? My position is simple: gerrymandering is always wrong, and CA voters should reject it the one place we can: our own state.

CA Governor has yet again wasted millions of our tax dollars, this time on this ridiculous Measure 50. The ads, the printing, and the mailing of absentee ballots all for this ONE measure. ONE measure that flies in the face of the independent redistricting commission CA already

The official ballot summary for Proposition 50 contains a number of inaccuracies. I have produced an accurate summary below. Please share widely to assure voters are properly informed.

Impossible. I was told that Obamacare fixed this in 2010. Get this libertarian "government made healthcare more expensive" propaganda out of my feed.
Health care is already unaffordable. We cannot allow premiums to skyrocket by 75% for millions of Americans. That’s what this struggle is about.

Newsom is trying to rig an election that will rig all future elections. Vote NO on Prop. 50.

I have no illusions about ANTIFA. They are a terrorist organization by any reasonable definition—they cultivate fear from which they derive power. BUT I don’t want ANTIFA declared a terrorist organization by the executive branch, because the post 9/11 definition of ‘terrorism’

I’d never trust anyone on the right or the left who is inconsistent on free speech. A person willing to abandon this fundamental American principle for short-term politics—justifying their own hypocrisy by citing the other side’s hypocrisy—can’t be counted on to uphold anything.
