Here is @SenatorBurr's press release on the revocation of @JohnBrennan's security clearance.
I take issue with these words. I take issue with the senator from #NorthCarolina.
While I still have freedom of speech guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, I take issue. @SenatorBurr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is parroted by @realDonaldTrump
Now we all know where you stand Senator Burr #ResignBurr#ResignTraitor

#NorthCarolina We have the 6 amendments to the Constitutional Amendments the Repugs in the #NCGA hastily put on the ballot.
Please vote NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, & NO
Let's not let them get away with this 💩
Are you with me? If so, re-tweet the hell out of it and tell your neighbors 2
Let me do further research on that one. It does seem to have substance.
However, I am livid about how the Republicans in the #NCGA have slammed us with 6 amendments. @WayneGoodwinNC can you elaborate more on #VictimsRights amendment?

After listening to @maddow last evening, July 11th, I am highly interested in hearing whtat Peter Strzok has to say. Let's tune in 👂
Apparently, the Trump Congress, @SenateGOP thinks it's going to cut him a new one. But I have a feeling it's going to backfire on those old farts.
🤣😂🤪😜
Let us take a moment to remember Peter Wang, 15. Let us each pledge to help students everywhere be safe. #NotOneMore#NEVERAGAIN

Re: #GOPTaxScam Word is out that these representatives could be flipped. Quoting here: From Action Together NE Ohio
If 11 GOP House Reps change their votes, the horrific tax bill can be defeated. Here is the list of HR1-yes-voting reps most susceptible to pressure 1/
(because they're in Dem-leaning districts). If you're a voter in any of these districts, call, write, visit their offices, ring their doorbells, give them no rest. Ask yourself if you know anyone who might live in one of these districts. If so, urge them to call, write, etc. 2/

<Short Thread> 1/ @GOP@SenateGOP@HouseGOP@SpeakerRyan@SenatorBurr@SenThomTillis@RepDavidRouzer I want to tell you briefly about my day today. I am a retired school teacher/counselor in NC and deliver meals-on-wheels on Tuesdays. I was listening to NPR as I drove...
2/ When I heard a clip of @SpeakerRyan talking about the president's tweets. Paraphrasing here, but in essence he was saying to just disregard those words. Yes, DISREGARD the words of the president of the United States! I could not believe my own ears! The speaker of the HOUSE!
