Senator Bernie Moreno Says NY Socialists Should NOT Be SEATED in Congress, Demands BAN on Dual Citizens: 'They Cannot Uphold Their Oath...'

"Every elected official since 1789 had to put their hand on the Bible, lift their right hand and swear allegience to the United States of America and to uphold our Constitution... Unless that person is willing to do that, then they are unable to receive that oath of office and should not be seated."

We cannot have members of Congress who chant "Death to America", call for the "Total eradication of Western Civilization" and who use our nation's flag as a napkin.

These people are incompatible with our country and cannot represent us.

@RigoIrizarry If you want to wear dresses & makeup & call yourself Tina instead of Tony, fine, I'm down with that. But when you start saying that you "feel like a woman", NO, STOP. Without female chromosomes you can NEVER FEEL WHAT I FEEL!

One year ago today, I stood in the House gallery as Congressman Tim Burchett passed a bill to stop paying the Taliban. The Senate has taken four vacations since, but still hasn’t voted on the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act. All while $40 million a week goes to the Taliban.

Personal News: I am writing as a mother and living organ donor.

Twenty years ago this month, our youngest son Peter received a life-saving liver transplant at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh @ChildrensPgh

With Peter’s permission, I’m sharing a photo taken with his older brother a few weeks before his 2006 transplant, when he was in liver failure.

Four years later, he won gold at the U.S. Transplant Games in Madison, Wisconsin. And here he is today—healthy, strong, and thriving.

What I didn’t fully appreciate in 2006 was that Peter and I were part of pioneering research aimed at reducing the risk of organ rejection in pediatric patients.

Even though I donated a segment of my liver to Peter—and as mother and son we are genetically similar—the new testing protocol still helped lower his chances of rejection.

Peter and I participated in a research project that developed a simple blood test called Pleximmune @plexision

It predicts the likelihood of rejection in pediatric patients by analyzing the unique immune chemistry of both the child and the donor.

The test also helps doctors determine exactly how much immunosuppression a child needs to keep rejection at bay.

Our family knows firsthand how valuable this early warning system truly is.

When Peter hit his growth spurt in his early teens, like so many pediatric transplant recipients, he needed increased immunosuppression.

The Pleximmune test predicted this need months in advance, giving his doctors time to adjust his care before problems arose.

The threat of rejection is a cloud that hangs over every transplant patient and family.

This test is making a real difference. It helps prevent rejection and can save tens of thousands of dollars for families and insurance companies.

This is where common sense matters.

In early July, the research team is preparing an appeal to Medicare @MedicareGov to price the Pleximmune test "fairly and consistently" with similar diagnostic tests.

Right now, only a small percentage of the cost of the test for pediatric patients is being reimbursed.

As the team told me, “Fair pricing is the lifeblood of a company’s ability to provide patients with more informed care and continued innovation.”

Today, Pleximmune has been used to test roughly 10% of children under age 21 who have received liver or intestine transplants in the U.S.

If you want to support this important work and help more pediatric patients and their families benefit...

Send a note to your senator, let them know to escalate the matter with Medicare so the appeal gets a fair hearing.

[Vote Michael E. Gates for California Attorney Gen. @MichaelGatesESQ]

California's Attorney General just filed his 72nd lawsuit against the Trump administration, this time targeting the EPA over clean air waivers.

72 lawsuits against Washington.
0 fentanyl bills supported.
0 Prop 36 funding secured.
0 action on Sacramento corruption.

Meanwhile, fights break out on San Francisco streets. Homeless Californians are dying of fentanyl at record rates. Parents are fighting in court just to know what's happening with their own kids at school.

The Attorney General's job is to protect Californians, not to run a political war against the federal government on your dime.

I will refocus this office on day one. #Gates4AG #CaliforniaVoters

@CaltechQuake I have been noticing over the last few months there have been numerous posts made with spelling mistakes in the location names. Though it may seem trivial, it should still be looked into and fixed. For informational purposes if nothing else.

@HarmeetKDhillon @adamcarolla Your sweaters and hats are phenomenal! I absolutely adore afghans, so every time I see one that's in good condition at a thrift store I have to buy it. Knowing how much work somebody put into it and then it just got tossed out breaks my heart.

Which is it Chucky Schmucky???

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Sen. Chuck Schumer just sounded the alarm that the SAVE America Act will REMOVE "25 MILLION PEOPLE" from the voter rolls

Keep in mind, the bill is for voter ID and proof of citizenship

If true, that means 25 MILLION people are illegals or not eligible citizens without ID! 🤯

Chuck is either making crap up or HE KNOWS THERE ARE 25 MILLION ILLEGALS VOTING

Which is it, Chuck? PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

@PaulDMauro My neighbor's car has been broken into 3 times and her husband's car twice. After reporting it the first time and the police saying nothing could really be done about it, they haven't reported the others. It's just that way in L.A. 🤷‍♀️

Is anyone else watching what’s happening in Sacramento right now? The hypocrisy is honestly unreal.
Right now, Gavin Newsom is using taxpayer-funded staff to file aggressive federal FOIA requests demanding the DOJ hand over records about the investigations into him and his wife. When he wants answers, transparency is an absolute right.

But look at what California lawmakers are trying to do to the rest of us at the exact same time. They are quietly pushing Assembly Bill 1821, which will absolutely gut the California Public Records Act. If this passes, everyday citizens, local journalists, and whistleblowers will be completely locked out of holding the government accountable at a state AND local level.
Here is what they are trying to accomplish……
Pay-to-play
Agencies will be allowed to charge you anywhere from $22 to $66+ AN HOUR just for staff to look for public documents. ( which they are already paid to do).
A basic request could end up costing you thousands of dollars.
The government will actually get the power to sue YOU if they decide your records request has "malicious intent." Example..if you are trying to uncover corruption you believe is happening in your hometown…
Imagine getting taken to court just for asking questions.
It gives agencies more time to stall, and lets them hit you with an $88/hour fee if they decide your request is for "commercial use." yes.. say you post it on x or other social media platforms… that could be deemed commercial, especially if you get paid for your content.

It is the ultimate definition of "rules for thee, but not for me." Newsom gets to weaponize transparency laws for his own personal defense, while his party strips those exact same rights away from the people of California.
Keep an eye on AB 1821 people…if this passes you will have challenges on keeping an eye on our government. Why should the rest of this country care? Well we all know he will be running for president next and this is what the rest of the country can expect for themselves as well.
Do you support AB 1821 or disagree with it?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SALLY RIDE!!!

On this day in 1983, Sally Ride launched aboard Space Shuttle Challenger on STS‑7, becoming the first American woman to fly in space.

Beyond this historic milestone, Dr. Ride's passion for inspiring young people to explore science and math is part of her lasting legacy.
