A quarter-million folks rallying on the Mall yesterday to support Israel? Peaceful, orderly, strong. Two hundred anti-Israel protestors outside DNC tonight? Chaos, weakness, Capitol buildings locked down. Says a lot!.
BREAKING . Absolute mayhem outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC. Ceasefire advocates who were protesting and blocking the doors of the DNC building are being pulled off, thrown down, and arrested by law enforcement.

@HillaryScholten’s latest attack ad uses debate footage where I say, “We need to make sure that our pre-existing conditions are covered” to accuse me of wanting to eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions. Can’t make this stuff up, folks.
In the wake of COVID-19, it is crucial that we elect officials who will prioritize affordable healthcare. Peter Meijer says he wants to repeal the ACA, which guarantees protections for millions of people with pre-existing conditions. Keep us on the air:

Not even remotely true. My motto: return “strong, stable, and effective leadership” like Gerald Ford, Paul Henry, & Vern Ehlers but hoped to build working relationship w/Trump. Was only primary candidate willing to say where I disagreed w/Trump + emphasized “not a rubber stamp.”.
Lot of anger toward @RepMeijer among those we spoke with who gave him money. While pitching them for cash, they said he put Justin Amash's disloyalty to Donald Trump front and center. In other words, they said he turned out to be a typical politician who did not keep his word.

@HillaryScholten I talked about this six months ago:.
Members of Congress should not actively trade securities, *especially* with companies/sectors for which they have privileged information. Full stop. Most public officials put stocks and other assets in a blind trust while they serve. Members of Congress should be no different!.

Our alliance with Kurds in Syria was never going to end well. @BarackObama made a mistake bumbling in, leaving President Trump to correct Obama’s mistake. Also true: Turkish forces are making a huge mistake of their own threatening US troops and giving ISIS space to regroup (2/5)

No. I firmly oppose any attempt to eliminate cash, which would erase privacy in personal transactions and allow even greater monetary manipulation by the fed. You’d think we’d have learned our mistakes from years and years of QE….

Our #MI03 craft distillers retooled production lines to make hand sanitizer when COVID-19 struck, and this is how @US_FDA thanks them?!. Still days away from swearing-in, but will be looking into this. You couldn’t invent a better example of bureaucracy run amok.
Distilleries just learned that to cap off a brutal year, the FDA is charging them a fee normally reserved for drug manufacturing facilities.
