I was Governor of New York on September 11, 2001. The planes did not simply crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They were hijacked and deliberately flown into those buildings by Islamist terrorists.

I stand with @basedmikelee.
I will vote to stay in session unless we have passed the SAVE America Act.
The American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure elections.
We need ONE brave Senator to force a roll call vote in order for the Senate to vote
on leaving for a 37-day paid vacation for August recess.
We need ONE Senator to object to unanimous consent & “ask for the yeas and nays.”
.@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote.
Do not assume you have my consent.
You do not.
Turning 65 and FINALLY getting Social Security just to watch $203 a month get yanked right back out for Medicare Part B premiums?!?
This is what seniors worked their whole lives for?
Paid in for decades through FICA taxes, now getting nickel-and-dimed on the way out.
Washington has turned our retirement into a bureaucratic trap. This is bullshit.
When is enough enough?
I get my Social Security deposit on the 4th Wednesday of every month. I checked my account this morning and since I turn 65 this month, they deducted $203 for Medicare.
So my question is this:
Why is the government charging me for something that I already spent my whole adult life paying for?
What a scam. 🤬
@LLannote@1Nicdar@am3rica1st43v3r Payroll taxes (aka FICA) *are* the SS and Medicare taxes and you do not receive a tax deduction for them. You pay regular income tax on every dollar that is taken out of your paycheck for FICA. The money has been taxed. Then when you receive SS, they tax it again.
Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Some of my colleagues are waiting to see how the politics shake out after the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling. We can't afford that.
I introduced my constitutional amendment months ago.
