I am a Big Tax and Spender and cut $3.7 trillion from the national debt. Would you swipe right to raise taxes? Play The Post's budget game: washingtonpost.com/business/…

I golfed a full course of congressional districts in 95 strokes – 22 strokes over par! Tee off in @washingtonpost’s Gerrymander Invitational: wapo.st/minigolf

I think I’ve seen this film before… and I didn’t like the ending.

. @SenatorSara6 @croke4illinois, as your constituent, I urge you to support HB 2416 / SB 1785, which implements #RankedChoiceVoting in Illinois. These bills will make elections more fair & more positive, and will better represent the wishes of the entire range of Illinois voters.
Maybe if AT&T stopped funding the anti-abortion political agenda, its CEO, John Stankey, would feel a bit more certain about the company's reputation. 🙊 Join us in calling out @ATT for funding anti-abortion extremists: 1-888-344-0792. cnb.cx/2XeqGow
The math is adding up, and it equals @ATT funding discrimination against women and pregnant people--discrimination that fits the ideology of AT&T's VP @EdWGillespie. Care to comment? wapo.st/3BL6Mk4

G’day from Down Under @tedcruz. Thanks for your interest in the Territory. I’m the Chief Minister. Below are a few facts about COVID down here.
I love the Aussies. Their history of rugged independence is legendary; I’ve always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific. The Covid tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad. Individual liberty matters. I stand with the people of #Australia

Ohio should mandate sexual assault reporting for coaches.
Ohio should ban all vaccine mandates.

We are watching the radicalization of the Republican Party in real time. GOP Rep @mtgreenee is encouraging violence. (FYI: It’s murder to shoot someone for knocking on your door). How many Republican Members of Congress will condemn her insane remarks? cc: @GOPLeader
Not only is @mtgreenee lying in this video regarding some form of vaccine patrol, she's encouraging violence. Marjorie Taylor Greene is unfit for office and a national security threat in more ways than one. She's a super-spreader of disinformation.

If you only watch 1 thing tonight, please watch this rather chilling video that my producer, the great & powerful Ivy Green made, putting Trump's lying pro-terror words on Fox over images of the actual violence from January 6th. #mustwatch @MehdiHasanShow

Kristi Noem is bizarrely proud of her disastrous response to COVID. Her failed leadership contributed to thousands of South Dakotans losing their lives.
South Dakota did not do any mandates. We trusted our people, gave them all the information and told them that personal responsibility was the best answer. cnn.com/2021/07/11/politics/…

Voting is a constitutional right, not dictated by your race, gender, location or size of your wallet. The organized effort to undermine the vote must end.
“Have you no shame?”  Pres. Biden calls on Republicans “to stand up for God’s sake and help prevent this concerted effort to undermine our election and the sacred right to vote.” abcn.ws/3i58Zhw

Our planet is warming at an alarming rate. We must do all we can to slow it down, before the damage is irreversible. Not just for us, but for our children and our children's children.
NOAA: Earth had its 5th-warmest June on record, according to the latest @NOAANCEIclimate #climate analysis. The year so far (Jan-June 2021) still ranks as the world's 8th warmest in 142 years. Read more: bit.ly/36vgTLw #StateofClimate
