Thank you to Pete Davidson for apologizing to Dan Crenshaw.
Dan Crenshaw, thank you for accepting the apology and giving us all a laugh.
This is what resolving a problem looks like and we need more of this.
Apologies and acceptances are what we need along with a laugh.
If you need a little bit of joy to make it through the day, this is the video to watch.
Baby gets first hearing aids, giggles uncontrollably at sound of big sister's voice.
I'm truly devastated.
After getting 84 votes in the Senate less than 2 months ago, the Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act after it was revoted on to correct an error.
This impacts 3.5 million burn pit and Agent Orange veterans who could have received access to health care.
I can't believe people are throwing away their entire careers for Trump.
He doesn't care about any of them, but they are willing to destroy their lives for him.
It's like political Darwinism.
I'm back!
I'm back because a case was never filed and I challenged Twitter to show me real filings in my county courthouse.
Challenge takedown notices.
It takes 10 business days but it's worth it if you care about your account.
Rachel Maddow is talking about how Qasem Soleimani was the architect of a particular deadly type of IED in Iraq called a EFP (shape charge).
I was hit with an EFP.
I almost died because of this man and I hate him.
His assassination was the worst decision Trump could have made.
Pilot flies within inches of mountainside to rescue injured French skier.
I've seen helicopter pilots do amazing things, but this one takes first place.

Senator Cory Booker just took the smile off the face of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's face.
I stand up and applaud the passion and outrage he is expressing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Thank you Cory Booker.
Just for clarification, some people think Madison Cawthorn is a veteran.
Having your application rejected by The United States Naval Academy doesn't make you a veteran, it makes you a civilian with a rejection letter.
Hey
@CNN
,
When you put people who are clearly lying on air, I change the channel.
When you continue to do it, I stop watching entire shows.
I'm done with Cuomo Prime Time at this point.

I multiplied my vote by 3.
Three people that I know personally were not going to vote until I spoke to them.
They voted today.
How many times have you multiplied your vote?
This is your warning.
If you are going to be on Twitter over the next 72 hours, you need to be prepared for the storm that is about to come.
All those good habits we have been prepping you for are going to be needed right now.
The bots and trolls are about to be unleashed.
I can't believe I would ever say this but another country needs to hold us accountable for the crimes against humanity that are being committed at the border.
I've been reactivated
I don't want to poke the bear or give anyone else any bright ideas but there are major flaws in the reporting & resolution process on Twitter
This suspension occurred while I was standing atop the Cannon Building during my most important advocacy mission
Trump Threatens to Cut U.S. Funding for California Wildfires
American citizens being threatened by a President while fires still burn.
Think about that.
It isn't funny. These are people's lives.
Trump loves to lie about this.
The Veterans' Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014 was signed by President Obama, NOT Trump.
This is the CSPAN truth. President Obama is literally signing the bill in this video.
130,000 U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico have arrived in Florida.
Trump won Florida by 112,000 votes.
Just to let them know, they are eligible to vote in the 2018 elections if they register by July 30th.
To all those people who are telling liberals to enlist...
I did. March 26th, 2000.
My brother did, a week after 9/11.
My father and two uncle's did during Vietnam.
My great uncle did during WWII.
My grandfather did during WWI.
Do you know why I don't have a problem paying into social programs through my taxes?
I realize that at any point, my life could change, and I may need those programs.
I look around and realize by giving a little bit to the greater good, we all have a safety net.
Instead of asking, "Who are you voting for?", we should be asking, "How can we help each other?"
We are all on the same team regardless of who you want as captain.
Someone left a snide remark asking if I would welcome refugees into MY home.
My wife and I actually welcome them into THEIR OWN homes as they relocate in North Carolina.
We volunteer with a refugee agency and love the families we assist.
This is a picture of me treating an Iraqi insurgent.
He was under my care so he was my responsibility.
As an American soldier, I held myself to the highest standard.
I was sworn to protect and provide treatment no matter who the person was.
The same must happen at our border.
My wife and I chaperone events with children and young adults.
Two rules...
1. If we believe the kids are being threatened or in danger, we remove them from the situation.
2. If we believe the kids are causing a scene or are out of control, we remove them from the situation.
I lost my sister to cancer today.
She leaves behind a wonderful husband and 4 children.
This is how I will always remember my big sister.
I love you and will always miss you.
I got suspended from Twitter for posting a video of a child cancer survivor playing the violin on the sidewalk.
Trump is threatening a war on Twitter with no repercussions.
On the positive, I know who has my back.
I want to thank everyone that fought so hard to get me reactivated.
I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
You are a true family and I missed you all.
Thank you for fighting for me and let's get back to the real work.
My family was extremely poor when I was young.
In Jr High my friend's mom was a cafeteria worker. She would give me buttered rolls in the morning for breakfast.
It was private to avoid the shame, especially at that age.
School lunch shaming is wrong and must end immediately.
I remember when a Supreme Court nominee was held up for 293 days.
Remember that?
I also remember that person was considered in 2009 and 2010.
Remember that?
I remember that person having a stellar background and experience in federal courts.
Then we got a drunk predator.
Private Emmanuel Mensah made the ultimate sacrifice by rescuing four people from a burning apartment building in Bronx.
He was an immigrant from Ghana.
We should be honored that he chose to call The United States home.
I just got a call that my social security number was suspended.
Do people really fall for this?
Your Social Security number is never suspended.
If you get this type of call, hang up immediately.
If you saw what a civil war really looks like, you wouldn't be joking about it.
Ask someone who served during the surge in Iraq what a civil war looks like.
The elderly die.
Women die.
Children die.
The words should never come out of a President's mouth.
It's serious.
I no longer have words to express the frustration and anger I feel after Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act.
@jonstewart
speaks for me as a burn pit veteran.
Please listen to him.
When a rich person says they are voting for Trump so they can pay less taxes, they are telling you that they care about their wealth more than helping the needy in society.
Fist bumps and handshakes as Senate Republicans block health care for 3.5 million burn pit, Agent Orange, PFAS, nuclear exposure, and contaminated water veterans.
They celebrate as veterans make funeral arrangements.
One thing that I have thought about today is that I've allowed myself to be a megaphone for Trump's propaganda machine.
By sharing videos of him, I'm enabling him to reach an audience that doesn't subscribe to his messages.
That ends now.
I will no longer post videos of Trump.
Think about this, the facility Pence went to knew he was coming.
What you saw was the best photo op they could find and it was horrifying.
Now think about the places they didn't want to show us.
My 8 year-old son just came home from school.
I asked him if he knew what the FBI is.
"Yes."
Me, "Okay, can you lie to the FBI?"
"No, you'll go to jail."
He's 8 and he knows this.

How about the millions of Americans that he has been negatively impacting with his policies?

Roy Moore-
This is me in a real foxhole.
I didn't care who was next to me as long as they had the American flag on their uniform.
Bigotry has no place in the military and especially the Senate.
I'm a veteran and I support Doug Jones.
Have you noticed Trump's press briefings are bumping the local news off the air because of the time he chooses to have them.
That's intentional.
He doesn't want people watching the local news. If you see things happening locally, it becomes much more personal.
I said it last night and I'll say it again.
Congratulations, now you know what it feels like to live in North Carolina.
Let me add this when it comes to Republicans in our state, when they show you who they are the first time, believe them.
They are corrupt.
