The new Republican Speaker Mike Johnson has voted AGAINST every gun legislation bill introduced to Congress. He voted against background checks. He voted against commonsense gun reform legislation. I don't want to hear a single thought or prayer from him. I want action. Now.
When Mike Johnson was asked about overturning the 2020 election, Virginia Foxx stood by him and told us to “shut up.”
Well I won’t shut up. I’m the small town journalist and Democrat running to defeat Foxx and flip the House blue. Retweet, follow, and spread the word!

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 22 innocent people in Maine, remember the shooter didn't act alone.
He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.
The fact that we're still "debating" who won the 2020 election, and Republicans just elected an election denier to be Speaker, is a reminder of the damage Donald Trump has inflicted on America.
He must never get anywhere close to the Oval Office again.
Lubbock County, TX just banned abortion-related travel, trapping women in a health care desert. This policy violates the constitutional right to travel.
Let’s pass my bill with @RepFletcher and @RepStricklandWA to reaffirm free interstate passage for all Americans.
Ohio, there’s an important election happening right now.
If you want to protect abortion rights by making them part of your state Constitution, vote yes on Issue 1.

Mitt Romney rips Jim Jordan:
"Jim Jordan, for instance, you’ve heard, is running for speaker of the House...Do you know how many bills he’s passed that he’s authored? None...
We’re looking at electing a person who would be second in line to the presidency, who’s never passed a bill. But he’s certainly well known because he’s able to make a lot of noise. And that’s the currency of the realm these days in politics, is finding a way to stand out and to be well known...how does a democracy work, one when the population is getting information that may or may not be accurate? And two, when the people that are most well known are those that are accomplishing things, but instead are performing. And so politics itself has become more of a performance art."
One of the more memorable lines from Biden’s democracy speech:
“We should all remember, democracies don't have to die at the end of a rifle. They can die when people are silent, when they fail to stand up or condemn threats to democracy …
Hours before a shutdown, the House GOP is making no effort to pass a bipartisan Continuing Resolution.
Instead, the House will vote on an extreme bill that makes massive cuts to cancer research, food security assistance, FEMA disaster assistance, and even law enforcement.
New York is experiencing disastrous flooding and a Republican shutdown means the National Flood Insurance Program will expire tomorrow night.
This is lunacy. A bipartisan deal was agreed to months ago. Dems held up their end. GOP needs to stop playing games and follow through.
If we have a government shutdown, a lot of vital work in science and health could be impacted—from cancer research to food safety.
The American people need House Republicans to do their job: fund the government.
Funding the government is one of the most basic fundamental responsibilities of Congress.
If Republicans in the House don’t start doing their job, we should stop electing them.
