46 years ago today, Mount St. Helens erupted with devastating force, claiming 57 lives, including @USGS scientist David Johnston. The eruption remains the most destructive volcanic event in the recorded history of the lower 48 states.

The OBBBA is going to gut healthcare by $900 billion to give tax breaks to the richest Americans. As a result, our debt will be so large that interest on it will cost $718 billion MORE. Terrible deal.

The more we learn, the worse it gets. The non-partisan CBO now estimates the Republican reconciliation bill will increase the national deficit by over $4 trillion dollars. This will drive up interest rates right alongside it. Americans deserve better.

In our laws and legislation, a thousand words paint a picture. But sometimes a concept just can't be described w/o an image. After I found out there's no process to add home blueprints for veterans to a bill, my amendment passed committee to work toward including visual info in bills.

It takes a village to get a 9-ft chainsaw across the country. But it’s worth it to show D.C. our pride in hard work, the trades, and our timber heritage. Stevenson High is giving shop class the prestige it deserves – and this wouldn’t have been possible w/o help from some truly talented students.

Replying to @SpeakerJohnson
Mr. Speaker, you should support my proposal to create an official ethics standard for lawmakers too cognitively impaired to do their jobs. Politicians staying in office when they're impaired is a bipartisan problem that requires a bipartisan solution. xitter.cf/RepMGP/status/19383730…
No member of Congress unable to cognitively perform their duties should be able to hide behind their staff. Everyday Americans see it — and I know my colleagues do as well. Yet, my amendment was just shot down to ensure members of Congress can actually fulfill their oath of office. This isn't a laughing matter, and every citizen in our country deserves to know their representative is showing up for them. We deserve a reflective, effective, and accountable government — so I'll keep working at this.

Though my pun didn’t light up the room for some of my @HouseAppropsGOP colleagues, I was proud to support this amendment to shed light on the safety risks posed by low beam headlight brightness.
Replying to @RepMGP
Thanks @Rep_SteveWomack for your bipartisan support and not letting my amendment get left in the dark. If the response from our colleagues is any indication, your puns might need a little bit of adjusting (not unlike misaligned headlights).

"Identifying the problem doesn’t mean that you’re using the right tools to address that problem. Let’s have a careful and honest discussion about what the experience of living in America today is like, and what do we want it to look like?" See more from @RepMGP below⬇️
