The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽♀️

The Senate cannot give up its own power. Demand proper vetting, background checks, and clearances for every single one of Trump's nominees. If they can't pass that most basic check and balance of our Constitution they shouldn't serve. Don't call yourself a Constitutionalist if you won't follow it.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

The key to preventing the worst kind of legislation from passing is to pressure vulnerable swing district GOP House members. All it will take is one or two defections! The GOP House majority is smaller than ever. Let’s paralyze it.

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released.
