Think of all the times this and our other key bills were declared dead, how impossible it seemed before Georgia or with a 50-50 Senate. No exaggeration to say this Congress and @POTUS have now delivered the most sweeping set of legislative victories in many Americans’ lifetimes. — PolitiTweet.org

This health and energy legislation will reduce health care costs and create huge numbers of jobs. And after years of struggle by Democrats in Congress, we just beat the special interests to enact a major law that will lower Americans' prescription drug prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The nightmare scenario is Republicans plunging the federal government into chaos, causing major economic disaster, and making horrific new attacks on the rule of law. I wish that was impossible, but it's not. The danger is real. More from @ThePlumLineGS: https://t.co/85XOLRdh7L — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Using the Holman Rule requires passing funding bills- the Senate and a presidential veto are in the way. But the Freedom Caucus has an established track record for coercing what it wants in divided government: shutdowns and debt ceiling threats that hold our economy hostage. https://t.co/eHJordG2DZ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

They want to reinstate the Holman Rule to protect Trump and to protect themselves. Kevin McCarthy is beholden to them in his pursuit of power, and if the Republicans held a majority the Freedom Caucus would have enormous leverage over him. This is what they are demanding. https://t.co/QC9YTdtn7w — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The House Freedom Caucus also has a personal stake in attacking the FBI and DOJ: some of their members asked for pardons, some may be implicated in the January 6th investigation, and their leader had his cell phone seized by investigators probing efforts to overturn the election. https://t.co/H7rY1T1el2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The Republicans would target anyone posing a threat to Donald Trump, and that includes defunding federal law enforcement. They want to ensure Trump is above the law and beyond accountability. If they had a majority today this would be their top priority. https://t.co/85XOLRdh7L — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

A Republican majority could use the Holman Rule to try to eliminate the salary of Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, others in the FBI and DOJ, or zero funding for the FBI’s DC field office or the USAO-DC to end investigations of Trump -- including the January 6th investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

And this is the key point: amid the investigation of Donald Trump for mishandling classified materials and sensitive national security secrets, the House Freedom Caucus wants to use the Holman Rule to, in their words, "start defunding… the FBI, the DOJ.” https://t.co/CxFTeJpvbn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

The Freedom Caucus tried to punish feds with this in 2017-18, but were thwarted by their leadership. My colleagues and I repealed the rule in 2019. But today's GOP and Kevin McCarthy are under the Freedom Caucus' thumb. They are demanding that the Holman Rule be reinstated. https://t.co/EySYpfoE0V — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

It's a 19th century procedural change in the House called the "Holman Rule." The Holman Rule changed over time, but in its most recent form it allowed the use of must-pass spending bills to eliminate salaries of individual federal employees or to zero funding for a whole office. https://t.co/7gdnccVGud — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

An important story from @ThePlumLineGS: https://t.co/85XOLRdh7L If he returns to office, Donald Trump hopes to purge the civil service in order to protect himself from threats to his power. But Republicans are plotting to use an arcane tool to attack investigations much sooner. — PolitiTweet.org
