Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Thank you Sen. Marsha Blackburn for your great graphics about the #AmericanJobsPlan. I know many Americans support increased funding for elder care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KimberCreedmore @All435Reps Wrong. Stimulus checks are not slush funds. Or child tax credits. Or unemployment benefits. Your assertions are simply incorrect. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@AJMorocco Cancel culture is bad. And the Democratic Party and Democratic legislators had nothing to do with Potato Head or Dr Seuss or the Muppets. But Republicans are actively trying to raise taxes on corporations for engaging in free speech that GOP doesn’t like. There is a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@LawyerNY That’s what the poll in the article shows. And my district does seem to like me. They keep re-electing me. And thanks for reading my tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@randyedwards151 Stimulus checks. Child tax credit expansion. Unemployment benefits. Renters assistance. And more. All part of the #AmericanRescuePlan. You’re welcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@anthonyperacot1 You are wrong. The House was controlled last year by Democrats. Any payments you received were passed by the House. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Democrats passed the #AmericanRescuePlan that helped put shots in arms, cash in pockets, people in jobs & kids in schools. Republicans are working on canceling Coke, Delta, Patagonia and baseball. The two parties are not the same. And the American people clearly like Dems more. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is a fascinating article. (I also note there are at least two grammatical errors in this version of the article). — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I simply note, again, it doesn’t matter what you label a bill. What matters is whether the bill would be good for America. This was never just an infrastructure bill. It’s a jobs act. That’s why it’s not called the American Infrastructure Plan. It’s called the #AmericanJobsPlan. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@ZaTingler Did you read his quote? So you think the average American should be ineligible to vote? Also, you used the wrong “Your”. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This National Review piece is elitism on steroids. It’s also insane. “if more eligible voters go to the polls then the outcome will more closely reflect what the average American voter wants. That sounds like a wonderful thing ... if you haven’t met the average American voter.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We’re from the government, and we’re here to help. #AmericanRescuePlan #HelpIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Thank you @patagonia! This is the free market in action. Turns out that being pro voter suppression is bad for business. And being for democracy is good for business. Let’s see how many right wing folks now try to cancel Patagonia. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@TheWacoKid18 @POTUS Dude, social security and the military are government. It’s also government that protects our sovereignty. And it’s government that makes sure health insurance companies can’t offer fake health insurance. And it’s government that provided subsidies that helped energy market. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Idahoguy74 @POTUS Do you use the roads that government planned and had built? Or any of the medications that were brought to market because of massive governmental funding to basic research? Do you think we should have firefighters? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Democrats and @POTUS are showing the American people the value of good government. The following 9 words are now some of the most hopeful words in the English language: “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.” #AmericanRescuePlan #HelpIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to privacy concerns, unregulated deployment of facial recognition technology results in massive equal protection violations because the software is often less accurate for darker skin tones. I am working on legislation that would require a warrant in most cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @WSJopinion: You’re not stupid, but your editorial is. The notion that corporations shouldn’t care about an issue as fundamental as voting rights is ridiculous. Democracy affects companies and employees. It would be like saying you should only write about Wall Street issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KrisMur77346982 @USChamber @LeaderMcConnell I don’t understand what you mean. Bills that restrict or expand voting are all inherently political. Just like bills that reduce or increase taxes. Or bills about the environment or health care or agriculture etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is what a prosecutor would call consciousness of guilt. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @USChamber: You use numerous initiatives, lobbyists and donations for the purpose of having corporate America involved in politics. Are you now going to shut all that down based on @LeaderMcConnell’s view that corporations should stay out of politics? https://t.co/RKm30J8whu — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @GovAbbott: I look forward to you banning corporations from lobbying you and other legislators on legislation. Until then, your statement makes no sense. If a corporation supports a law, that is politics just like if a corporation opposes a law. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

While @GOP legislators are focused on canceling baseball, voters and a variety of soft drinks, Democrats are focused on job creation. Georgetown study shows the #AmericanJobsPlan will create or save 15 million jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @LeaderMcConnell: I look forward to you banning corporations from lobbying you and other Senators on legislation. Until then, your warning makes no sense. If a corporation supports a law, that is politics just like if a corporation opposes a law. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Rajin_Moderate Nope. That’s why I inserted Jobs multiple times in my post. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Debate over what to “label” a bill is silly beltway stuff. The issue is: are the bill’s provisions good for America? This plan creates or saves 15 million jobs according to Georgetown study. Call it the #AmericanJobsPlan. Or #JobsBill. Or #ReallyAwesomeBill. Label is unimportant. — PolitiTweet.org
