Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

These kids. Such badasses in a situation no college student should have to be in
Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Thank you for reading the letter sent by Tina Smith's aide Ed Shelleby to his colleagues in Senator Mike Lee's office

I did two tours of duty in the Senate and Shelleby has the integrity I remember colleagues on both sides of the aisle sharing back then
