Met with @realDonaldTrump yesterday and presented him with a model of the Blue Angels F/A-18 Super Hornet airplane (a symbol of Northwest, FL).
We talked everything CD-1 related AND I got to bring my boys too. They could’ve talked sports for hours!
Thank you, President Trump!
Don’t get mad at the slow California vote count.
Remember, they have to count all the Republican votes first… so they can figure out exactly how many Democrat votes they need to “find.”
Hello Congressman.
You of all people should know the National Mall including the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool is managed by the National Park Service.
This restoration project is exactly the type of project the Great America Outdoors Act and Legacy Restoration Fund was created to address - maintenance backlogs.
You voted for it.
We support it because the oil and gas royalties we pay are directed into both of these funds.
Not entrance fees.
Oil and gas royalties from federal lands.
In other words, this awesome upgrade to the National Mall is brought to you by your friends at the US Oil & Gas Association.
And yet you have never thanked us.
Here is a report from the Congressional Research Service the intern who wrote this tweet can read to learn more.

Perhaps Anna Paulina Luna should run for governor. She literally got stuff done in similar fashion the way DeSantis has done. For the uninitiated who don’t live in Pinellas County, this beach nourishment issue has been an ongoing battle for over a decade.
What happened today, May 29, should have happened years ago but the Army Corps of Engineers and Pinellas County wanted homeowners to sign perpetual easements.
With constant pressure by Luna and apparent influence by President Trump, the corps FINALLY decided to change its strict stance on having homeowners sign perpetual easements, which include public access, because of customary use ordinances in Florida.
The agreement means the corps will now go back to paying for 65% of beach renourishment projects.
"The Army Corps of Engineers is proud to stand with you today. We’re ready to turn this agreement into action," said Major Gen. Jason Kelly. "We’re ready to build.”
This past February, a $125 million beach renourishment project wrapped up that Pinellas County was forced to pay for on its own for the first time. Before that project, water during high tide reached the deck at a hotel on North Redington Beach; it basically reached most homes and hotels.
Pinellas County Public Works Director Kelli Levy says homeowners will now be asked to sign temporary easements, which are only in effect during the project period.
Thank you @realannapaulina (consider running for governor) @FloridaGOP@PinellasREC
Our Senate is on vacation right now.
This weekend, they’ll fly back to DC & spend another week finding excuses why they
can’t pass the SAVE America Act.
By the end of June, it’s another 16-day vacation & Senators basically don’t work at all in August.
