I did not—and do not—support the decision to postpone the budget resolution. I worked hard to get Leader Thune to agree to bring it up so we could move forward on the SAVE America Act, and I appreciate his willingness to do so.
I’m very disappointed we didn’t vote. We’ve talked enough. It’s time to stop talking and start voting.
I also voted NO to adjourn, and my NO vote is recorded in writing with the Senate clerk.
@NoDMsPerfavore I honestly can't think of a single thing that wasn't built to last. Ir was built here with quality materials and wasnt shipped from places all aroynd the globe. We now pay way more for planned obsolecense.
Our hearts are heavy today.
LVMPD Officer Austin Abdelnabi was killed in the line of duty while answering a call to protect this community. A Marine veteran, a husband, and a man who showed up every day for the people of Las Vegas.
This hits close to home because it happened in my hometown.
To his wife Sage, his family, and every member of Metro — we stand with you. We are grateful for his service and we will not forget his sacrifice.
Rest easy, Officer.

...The so-called “Hands Up Act” appears to want to make any such shooting a type of strict liability based entirely on the absence of a gun, removing the governing standard for reasonably mistaken uses of lethal force.
...It can also be murder, again, if the officer acted without a reasonable fear for his life or the lives of others. However, officers are allowed to be mistaken if those mistakes are reasonable under the circumstances. Travis Washington reportedly has declared the violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri "justified."
An Indiana University official has over 3 million petition signatures for a new law "that prohibits police officers from shooting unarmed citizens." https://t.co/hzJuPtEtM4 We already have such a law, if the shooting is unjustified and unreasonable. It is called manslaughter...
@IngrahamAngle Little women should not be in law enforcement (except to process rape cases).
Men are made for war and law enforcement. Encourage them. Do not penalize "toxic" masculinity... we need manly men tough strong to protect women children and the elderly from invaders.
