Tonight is the Congressional Baseball Game. @KR_Bledsoe I need someone to get pictures of everyone’s glove. It’ll immediately tell us who’s a player and who isn’t.
@RepPatHarrigan I remember you’re a Rawlings guy from those shutdown innings on the bump last year.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Plain and simple.

We will always defend our Constitution, our freedoms, and the values upon which this nation was founded.
