I called to express my outrage about "Signalgate" and the incompetence displayed by the Secretary of Defense and others. We need some resignations.

Donald Trump launched a crypto currency. This is going to go down in history as the most corrupt self centered President in history. I PROMISE

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

There is no maternity leave for members of Congress. And members aren't allowed to cast votes remotely while recovering from childbirth or caring for young kids. Yet, 47% American men believe the US has gone so far to promote women's equality that we're hurting men.

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

I've seen it over and over again.
Decades of administrations have shown time and time again:
Republicans undo progress to help the rich and corrupt while Democrats step up to fix things while supporting ALL Americans.

A group of elderly women brought a DVD copy of 2,000 Mules to my office and asked to pray over it with me. Kind, decent people believed every word and it terrified them. Grifters like Dinesh didn’t care that he lied, hurt people, and made them distrust everything and everyone around them.
NEW:
Dinesh D’Souza is issuing an apology over his election conspiracy film “2,000 Mules.”
While largely blaming the group True the Vote, D’Souza admits that the heart of the film - surveillance footage of vote drop boxes supposedly showing illegal “ballot trafficking” - is false and misleading.

This week, we had our first committee hearing on my legislation to set strict regulations for how that data can be collected and managed, and prohibiting companies from selling that data or using geofencing to target ads to your cell phone if, for example, you were near a women’s health clinic.
