@CynC05093950 @GOPLeader Did you read all the Dr Seuss books? Some are great. Some have racist depictions. Not all of his books are the same. Also Mr. Potato Head issue was unrelated to race. It was, however, a decision made by a private sector company and in line with free market expectations. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @GOPLeader: As you know, Green Eggs and Ham continues to be published, & accepted by the free market. Are you going to read aloud any of the books that have racist depictions of my ethnicity? I dare you. Also, why are you opposed to stimulus checks for the American people? — PolitiTweet.org

@Cozyfornia Apply the death rate across the American population and it’s going to be a very, very, very large number if we don’t take mitigation measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@VSF1187 Where do you get your information? The 9% number is a lie. The stimulus checks alone account for over 20% of the bill. Many of the provisions in the bill are based on the bipartisan CARES Act. There is no tax increase in the bill. The bill increases child tax credits. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @GOP: He’s just not that into you. Also, the former President issued this cease and desist letter even though @GOPLeader went down to Mar-a-Lago and bent the knee. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear mask burning folks in Idaho: Rejecting science is not anti-elite; it’s not owning the libs; it’s just plain stupid. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets. Masks help prevent the spread. Masks help save lives. You are putting your family at increased risk. — PolitiTweet.org

The #CovidReliefBill helps get shots in arms, money in pockets, kids in schools and people in jobs. The state and local funding provisions will also help fund the police. Every Republican voted to essentially defund the police. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Another important provision, thanks to legislation by @RepCindyAxne and @SenatorDurbin that was included in the #AmericanRescuePlan, is that the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits is tax free. Thank you to Senator @RonWyden for offering the Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

@kgnotes10 @GOPLeader There’s at least a $1.9 trillion dollar difference with the American Rescue Plan. Facts are facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dems are focused on getting stimulus checks, unemployment benefits & small business loans to the American people. @GOPLeader is focused on Green Eggs and Ham, a book that continues to be published and accepted by the free market. There is a difference between the two parties. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@jmd403 @GOP Senate kept $75k & $150k income cutoffs for full stimulus check amounts the same. Phase out was reduced from $90k to $80k, and $160k to $150k. Cost savings were applied to pay for 100% of COBRA premiums. While I opposed the shortened phase outs, hard to say this is embarrassing. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The #AmericanRescuePlan provides $350 billion to states and local governments. A significant amount of local funding goes to first responders, including police officers and paramedics. When @GOP Members vote against the bill, they are essentially voting to defund the police. https://t.co/ZaaOKNfc8T — PolitiTweet.org

@coachbuss2 @GOP Republican Chairman of the House Committee on Administration Bob Ney renamed French fries to Freedom fries in three Congressional cafeterias. I don’t lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

.@GOP supports forcing companies to keep making the same toys without any change, like Mr. Potato Head. And GOP cancelled french fries in favor of freedom fries. Dems support stimulus checks, unemployment benefits, an expanded child tax credit, and small business loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Sure looks like the #TrumpInauguration isn’t happening. Also, a plane struck the Pentagon on 9/11; there is no secret cabal of satan worshipping pedophiles running America; and the election was not stolen. — PolitiTweet.org

Say it with me, the election was not stolen. BUT, the GOP is trying to unfairly rig future elections and has already filed 200+ state-level voter suppression bills. The Senate must pass the #ForthePeopleAct. Help get it done: https://t.co/7QXLLELF1h https://t.co/oF41y4uTTG — PolitiTweet.org

@JonathanFalcons There’s unemployment benefits. And child tax credit expansion. And nutrition assistance. And much more. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@mikhos57 They are not. But this is also a stimulus package. We are trying to get the economy going again. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

One upside to Sen Ron Johnson forcing clerks to read the bill is that everyone will know the claim by GOP that only 9% of the bill addresses the effects from the pandemic is a lie. The entire bill is a relief and stimulus package. Stimulus checks alone are over 22% of the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear Conspiracy Folks: If you believe the below conspiracy, you are stupid. At least try to find conspiracies that aren’t so dumb. Why have people believe you are both stupid and crazy, when you can just be crazy? Also, the earth is not flat and the election was not stolen. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Vets4AP NO. The United States Department of Justice found Russia engaged in a systematic and sweeping attack on the 2016 elections. The same DOJ found no evidence of mass voter fraud in 2020. Wrong to compare apples with oranges. I will continue to stand for the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@_barretme I think if Republican leadership started saying the election was not stolen, that would have some effect. — PolitiTweet.org
