@NorCalMan1973 Actually, I’m not at all. I’m glad to be able to use email technology to communicate my vote during a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your Executive Order is a farce. The courts interpret Section 230, not @FCC. Your “US policy” doesn’t matter if it conflicts with the statute or case law. That’s why your EO calls for legislation, which is dead on arrival in @HouseJudiciary. Go pound sand. — PolitiTweet.org

@thequiethit One thing that makes America great is that voters get to decide whether to retain me or fire me every two years. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sangria1992 I represent my amazing constituents. But it’s my vote. That’s why we have a Republic, not a straight democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I voted YES through proxy voting to expand flexibility for small businesses. It is my YES vote, not anyone else’s. GOP attack on proxy voting is dumb. And 13 Republicans failed to support small businesses because they are still stuck in the 18th century. https://t.co/17BPxoaFg8 — PolitiTweet.org

@peterbakernyt @daiwaka Trump can’t lift Section 230’s protections via executive order. He can’t change the law. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s also one definition of insanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@winklevoss What are you talking about? Fact checking is speech. It’s basically a way to respond, through more speech, to what another person has said. Editorializing is speech. Censorship would be suppressing fact checks and editorials. — PolitiTweet.org

It depends on the mask. But even a cloth mask would mitigate the spread of the virus. The less saliva droplets that you spew all over the place, the less chance someone comes in contact with your saliva droplets. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You need to stop posting anti-science shit that confuses the American people. Your own @Surgeon_General is telling people to wear masks in public. So is your own @CDCgov. Over 100k Americans died from #COVID19. Lives are at stake. Stop being ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @Facebook: I request that you honor Mark Zuckerberg’s recent comments and stop banning the below ad that @realDonaldTrump really, really doesn’t want people to see on your platform. #thursdaymorning truth — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The executive order by @realDonaldTrump cannot change the law or the Constitution. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is what allows Trump to post his deranged thoughts on social media. The First Amendment is what allows companies to say whatever they want in response. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CAPAction: 100,000 Americans have died of coronavirus—most of whom could have been saved. Let's put Trump's chaos into context: https:… — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @KellyannePolls: Turns out that in the 21st century, you can get cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake without leaving your home in DC. https://t.co/hFmM1yrYqP Same with voting. Allowing voting from home is safer during a life threatening pandemic. It’s also how your boss votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: I told you so. I told you so. I told you so. You signed into law in 2018 the FISA law you are complaining about today. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump and @FoxNews: FYI — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

On this issue I largely agree with @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Oh look, now @realDonaldTrump wants to use government to shut down free speech in the private sector. Thank goodness the First Amendment prevents him, or me or any other elected official from closing down speech platforms. Another anti-freedom, unconstitutional idea by @POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I LOVE @JoeBiden’s new Snake Eyes Commando Twitter profile. Shows Biden is: Tough Fit Lean Cool Strong A believer in science Ready to kick ass The exact opposite of @realDonaldTrump. This January 20, America will be back, stronger than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Today is Wednesday. That means @realDonaldTrump is lying, again. Dems were writing pandemic legislation in February while @POTUS was downplaying the virus & failing to test. Also Trump’s travel ban on China failed because it was leaky & it didn’t include Europe. #WednesdayWisdom — PolitiTweet.org

@JGolding13 @IgnatiusPost @SecPompeo Thank you for taking the time to read my tweets! — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I watched the horrific video of police using excessive, brutal force on George Lloyd that resulted in his death. The officers responsible should be investigated for committing homicide. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@TodaysIndepend1 @IgnatiusPost @SecPompeo Do you think it’s okay if I, say, start my own Hamilton dinners? I would invite business folks, press and my colleagues to fancy catered dinners with fine wine, and then charge them to my office account. You think that would be okay? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @IgnatiusPost: The uproar isn’t over @SecPompeo having fancy dinners. The uproar is that taxpayers paid for them. If I invited you & business folks to my office for a fancy catered dinner with fine wine, and charged it to taxpayers, I would be investigated by ethics office. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: The First Amendment stops the government—that’s you—from interfering with free speech. That means you can’t stop @Twitter from fact checking your false tweets. And the fact that we’re reading your excrement on Twitter shows it is not stifling your speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You retweeted the below tweet (of a very fit & cool looking @JoeBiden) to suggest people shouldn’t wear masks. At the same time your Surgeon General is telling people to wear masks to stop the virus. Stop confusing the American people. Lives are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Today is Tuesday. That means @realDonaldTrump is lying, again. Dems were writing pandemic legislation in February while @POTUS was downplaying it. Trump’s myopic focus on China allowed the virus to come in from Europe. Failure to test allowed it to spread. #TuesdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org
