@trish_regan Talk to @SenatorTimScott & @LeaderJohnThune -- the corrupt RINOs who control the money in the Senate. They're pure garbage. They're deliberately trying to tank Paxton out of resentment toward the voters who ejected their preferred pile of trash Cornyn.
@trish_regan Where is all the money the RNC supposedly has? I'll tell you. @johnthune is in charge of a lot it through his Senate money laundering fund, and he does not want this thorn in his side for the next 2 years.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
When I first arrived in New York from a small farming village in Switzerland, everything felt too big 🇨🇭
The city.The noise.The energy.The crowds.The lights💥
But year after year New York slowly became one of my favorite places in the world🌎🙌🏻
This city challenged me. It pushed me. It brought something out of me that few places ever could⚡️
I experienced some of the strongest emotions of my career here.
The battles, the late nights, the incredible atmosphere, the love from the crowd…memories that will stay with me forever 🙏🏻💭🗽
Winning the US Open,in the city that never sleeps,will forever be one of the greatest moments of my life 🏆🌇
Thank you, New York🗽
Thank you, @usopen 🎾
Thank you to every single fan who supported me, pushed me, believed in me and shared all these emotions with me over the years🙏🏻🫶🏻
Forever grateful. Forever New York🗽🇺🇸
If you’re old enough, you remember Karl Ravech anchoring baseball tonight, every night.
It was the only place to see highlights, complete with the screaming baseball that led into the nights home runs.
Thank you.
Cheers to @karlravechespn calling the Braves-Brewers game in Williamsport tonight on ESPN. He was unceremoniously let go after 30+ years but offered to call games for a bit longer. That alone is remarkable. And all Karl has done is be the epitome of class and professionalism. No wonder his colleagues have nothing but admiration and respect for him. A pro’s pro.
This @SecWar is the greatest thing to happen to the US military since Patton. I’d follow this guy anywhere.
“I have no idea what Lloyd Austin was doing for 4 years. I really don’t!”
Right on, @PeteHegseth, I’ll be your wingman.🫡🇺🇸🔥
Uncle Clif is tired of people "crying wolf" about racism in America.
"We have people in society that continue to cry wolf: 'You're only doing that because I'm trans.' 'You're only doing that because I'm black.' No, I'm doing it because you actually don't have the credibility," @cliflewis3 tells me.
"That's their excuse or their card. And then when it actually happens, nobody wants to pay attention because you've lied about it so many times."
He says racism is real, but it also isn't natural: it's something that is learned.
"It's not a person that's racist. A person has learned how they've been treated by somebody. If you walk down the street and you kick a dog every day, eventually that dog is going to expect you to kick it. So if a little white kid is beat on and picked on every day because he walks through his black neighborhood to get to school, he's going to hate black people."
And what undoes prejudice, he says, is just one relationship – one positive contact.
"You don't know what they're thinking unless you sit down and talk to them. If nobody ever has the conversation or brings it up, it's never going to be a solution."
@EvanAKilgore Daylight Saving Time does not create more daylight. It simply mandates earlier waking in darkness and less sleep. No to Sunshine Protection, support the Save Sunshine for Our Kids Act instead! https://t.co/V84QSXmYLb
No to the Sunshine Protection Act with permanent DST and its 8:30am sunrises! Support permanent Standard Time is the new Sunshine for Our Kids Act instead!
The House is voting to make Daylight Saving Time permanent.
America tried this in 1974 — permanent DST led to dark winter mornings, more car accidents with kids, public backlash, and it was repealed after 21 months.
Permanent standard time is the healthier choice (backed by sleep scientists and circadian research). End the switches the right way.
Oppose the Sunshine Protection Act.
.@RepMcGovern Permanent DST would put sunrise in Massachusetts past 8am for 2 months. Oppose the Sunshine Protection Act, support the Sunshine for Our Kids Act—in Rules Committee, Monday 4pm!
Look at how people around the country are calling out their @SenatorFischer@SenatorRicketts and @USRepMikeFlood and reminding them that they tried this once before with DST and it failed miserably.
If you stop the clocks Standard Time is the only real decision here.
