As one that voted to remove MTG from the Education Cmte a few years ago and seeing her statements re: being able to control the latest hurricanes, I wonder if she should have stayed on the Education Cmte to learn abit more about science!

First the Trump team opposed the bipartisan infrastructure, Chips and Senate immigration bill as it would “help” elect Biden…now they oppose a long-overdue Fed rate cut that helps every American…it is the Economy stupid. Good luck. So much for the Country First!

Was in Germany for 10 days with 5 former Congressfolks lecturing and Ukraine was the issue…The German’s get it…they know that Europe is next without Ukraine aid and the EU is stepping up to the plate for their share too. Better to provide the equipment than the troops.

Thank God in this polarized world the House saturday passed the Ukraine pkg 311-112…Votes were always there to pass it by this margin but the Speaker was controlled by the hard-right isolationists but finally allowed the House to work its will…Senate will come thru this wk!

Witnessed 9/11 1st hand...failure to pass FISA at Trump's direction puts r nation & allies at risk. Especially as we ready for Iran's retaliation on Israel. "Thanks"19 GOP's who voted no even providing for FISA warrants. So much for fighting w/every tool in the box. God save us!

Guess the 11 of us GOP's to strip MTG from the Education Cmte back in '21 was again verified with her scientific view that the Earthquake and maybe eclipse is God's wrath. Do they still teach the flat earth theory in GA schools?

2 years ago I witnessed Jose Andreas, the director of World Central Kitchen serving 100's of thousands of meals in Poland to displaced Ukrainians-share his sentiments on tragic innocent killings in Gaza. Sure hope Congress can get act together next wk on Ukraine $

Stunned with the news re Joe Lieberman…More than ever we need this type of Public Servant to rise and fix the DC dysfunction. Knew him well from McCain days to just last wk on Biodefense Board. Lent instant credibility to No Labels and efforts for a winning Unity Ticket. RIP

Now reading Life After Power and it reminds us that Woodrow Wilson won only 42% of the popular vote defeating Taft, Teddy R, and Debs winning 40 states. I’ve seen the polling #’s; wouldn’t it be great to duplicate beating T, B, and RFK winning 40 states…You heard it here 1st.

Nikki Haley’s speech tonight was a No Labels Here I’m Coming speech.
She said, “I’m a woman of my word. I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.”
She’s running No Labels. I bet shortly after Super Tuesday.

As a former V-Chair of the bipartisan Problem Solver’s Caucus, we worked for years with @NoLabelsOrg to actually address the nation’s issues. Now Yr-3 in Ukraine. No excuses to provide aid and defeat Putin. Watch the video below and weigh-in with your Congressperson.

Thoughts and prayers not enough…again. In ‘22, the House passed Amber Alert for Active Shooter…It may have alerted folks at 2nd site. u can imagine who opposed it in the House but blocked it in Senate…Very sad…If not now, when?

Was on @CNN this morning….9 GOPer’s in the hunt for Speaker job with Tom Emmer in the “pole” position as the GOP Whip and endorsed by McCarthy….Trump opposes as he voted w/me to certify election. Someone needs 217 votes and they can’t punt yet again… youtube.com/watch?v=OUQJQOD9…
