Semi-Retired, doing whatever I can that fits into 24 hours.

@elonmusk Why terrible? This is giving the citizens of that state to weigh in and vote on their election process. In other states, governors have arbitrarily redistricted their state at the behest of Donald Trump. And people like you are silent about that. Double standard.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SpeakerJohnson Money in our pockets? NOPE. Money that has to be spent for higher medical premiums, higher gas prices, higher prices for clothing and other imported items, higher state and local sales taxes to pay for benefits you defunded. Such a bait & switch game.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SenRickScott @SenTimKaine FACT CHECK: Trump is lying to his voters & the world every day about negotiated agreements & battlefield successes. And guess who walked away from the international agreement to monitor Iran's enrichment of uranium? Begins with a 'T' and ends with rump.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@elonmusk Then why don't you speak out about the attempts by the Trump administration to silence his critics. You can't truly support free speech until you support the possibility that some of that speech will disagree with your views.

So, Iran said it wouldn't go to the negotiating table unless the US released the $2billion it was holding. Iran is at the negotiating table. So, since people were griping about Obama releasing Iranian money back to that country, where are all the nasty memes about Trump doing it?

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SenRickScott Trump said Iran's nuclear program was destroyed last year. Saudi Arabia & Israel wanted this attack. Our own US intelligence determined there was no immediate nuclear threat from Iran. No one defends the Ayatollah, but Dems want a clear objective. Trump offers none.

@timburchett @JeffBezos @elonmusk That's always been the GOP argument for giving billionaires & corporations big tax breaks. But over and over again, 'trickle down economics' has been proven to be a bogus theory. Corporations spent most of their last tax break buying back their own stock, not creating new jobs.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@elonmusk LOL. Crackdown on social media speech? Mass amnesty? Easy to speculate when you fantasize about what someone else might do. But that's all this is. Fantasy.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

It's clear that Trump's plan (& Project 2025) is to pass the SAVE Act, wait until right before the midterm elections, declare a bogus 'emergency' requiring all voters to re-register or confirm registration hoping millions won't be able to get their paperwork in time to do so.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@chiproytx Because the only hope for the MAGA GOP to save their seats is to disenfranchise millions of American voters.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SecMullinDHS @POTUS @DHSgov FALSE. Senate had a non-partisan solution to pay all TSA, FEMA, & other workers, but House Republicans won't consider it without adding funding to a overbudgeted & mismanaged ICE. No more tax dollars to ICE without some investigation into overspending & lack of accountability.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SpeakerJohnson instead of holding federal employees hostage to shovel more money at ICE & GEO group, you may want to investigate why ICE & DHS paid double the assessed price for ICE warehouses. Why? Tens of $Millions over value. Who got that extra money?
Any accountability?

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@PressSec Maybe because Democrats read the bill. The 'tax deduction' on overtime pay is deceptive. It restructures the way a company can calculate overtime so an employee may get no overtime pay at all. Read the bill.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@timburchett Not showing because a few thousand doesn't actually make much news compared to 10 million "No Kings" protesters.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SenJonHusted Hey, Senator. Maybe Democrats just couldn't get behind sending more money to ICE because they have little or no oversight. Shooting US citizens? Paying double the value of a property to convert it to an ICE prison? Why double the price? Who's getting the kickback? Accountability.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@EvaWillaim NO! A free press should question the people who serve us, spend our money, and send our young men & women into war. They should ask difficult questions & if Trump doesn't like being challenged, he shouldn't have taken the job.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@SpeakerJohnson Lying again. Democrats want to fund FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. But Democrats won't be blackmailed into funding agencies that kill & injure American citizens or use racial profiling as an excuse to arrest someone. They want accountability before giving ICE more money.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@ScottJenningsKY How much taxpayer money are Republicans willing to blindly throw at ICE & Border Patrol before they require accountability? That's the question. Dems are willing to finance agencies at DHS, but not those that randomly arrest, torture, & murder citizens while wasting millions.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@elonmusk No logic here at all. No evidence of any substantial numbers of people registering or voting illegally. An invented crisis with an unfair and unconstitutional proposal for a solution. Stick with the Constitution.

[p. haines-ainsworth @pathainesains]

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump LOL. Funny how Republicans loved this until they realized it could work against them.
