I voted for McCarthy because he won our primary election with 85% of the vote, and I refuse to leave the House in control of a Pelosi-appointed clerk. Any “Republican” doing otherwise is voting for Democrats. There is no other interpretation of today’s vote. — PolitiTweet.org

In summary: fund airplanes, holding facilities, immigration judges, ICE prosecutors, walls, and technology capable of detecting fentanyl. And stop the abuses of our asylum system. That’s what border security would look like. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

The truth is, the “compassion” of democrats open borders has allowed so much abuse to take place of our asylum system that the backlog is well over a million. This means that real asylum seekers around the world have almost no chance of getting into the system. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

What about people with legitimate asylum claims? Well, we should have a process to claim asylum through our consulates and embassies in those countries or neighboring ones. Trump did this, it was called Asylum Cooperation Agreements. Biden ended those. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

And if the State Department can’t negotiate agreements for repatriation (think Cuba and Venezuela)? Then versions of Remain in Mexico policy must be aggressively pursued. Trump did this by threatening Mexico with tariffs. It worked. — PolitiTweet.org

So you need jet fuel. You need to be sending people far away from the border, thus making it unimaginable for someone to make the journey all the way north if they’re just gonna be sent back home. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Why not just turn them away when they cross? Many have asked why Texas doesn’t do that. Because we have a river. Once they’re in the river, they’re within our jurisdiction. We can’t physically secure the Rio Grande. Even if we did turn them back, they’d cross somewhere else. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Let’s solve the border crisis in one tweet. Instead of spending billions more on “processing,” spend more money on jet fuel. Pack planes full of migrants who cross illegally and deport them immediately. The crisis will end within months. — PolitiTweet.org

The omnibus — filled with wacko climate change initiatives — is being flown more than 1,000 miles to be signed because the President couldn’t be bothered to stick around and do his job. — PolitiTweet.org

At this point, any company not actively diversifying away from China is crazy. The theory that economic interdependence will prevent conflict was debunked by Putin. The CCP is on a dangerous path and you don’t want to be caught in the fallout. https://t.co/agKPjga3SR — PolitiTweet.org

2. Europe might want to think about importing a lot more natural gas, and we should be actively trying to sell it them (got that Mr. President?) Compared to the wood being burnt across Europe, natural gas is better for your health AND the health of the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

1. Government intervention in markets changes incentives. In this case, those incentives directly resulted in logging protected forests. Oops. https://t.co/QaAPtlykap — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

And, per the NYT, many of the wood pellets that end up being burnt in Western Europe originate from protected forests in Central & Eastern Europe. So, what are the main takeaways here? https://t.co/DtLLes30AF — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Burning wood actually releases more carbon dioxide per unit of energy than some fossil fuels – 2.5x more than natural gas. https://t.co/8ccYSBkSBn — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

So? Turns out that wood is terrible for the climate, literally bulldozes protected environments (so much for being climate-friendly), and decreases air quality – aka it’s bad for your health. https://t.co/VONofBjv6J — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Because of the subsidies, wood biomass became the number one “renewable energy source” in the EU – recent data has it listed as comprising almost 60% of renewables in Europe. https://t.co/9LLWA4Rsya — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

About a decade ago, European governments began to subsidize wood to encourage citizens to move away from using oil and gas to power their homes. A huge market for wood pellets emerged immediately – and eventually grew out of control. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Some thoughts on green energy and “biofuels” in Europe. With the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, there’s a supply shortage of natural gas in Europe, and prices are skyrocketing. So, citizens have turned to burning wood to stay warm this winter. Why? 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

There’s plenty more bad things, which you’ve probably already seen all over social media. This should not have passed. The Senate should have blocked it and allowed a GOP House a chance to do better in January. https://t.co/UrM18ryIZS — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

It’s hard to justify an increase in non-defense spending after these same agencies have received trillions in spending since Biden took office, within the “American Rescue Plan,” the infrastructure bill, or the Inflation Reduction Act. https://t.co/PEPDk08uUj — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Is there more good than bad? Can we digest the bad stuff or is it too much? That threshold is a bit different for every member. This bill had plenty of bad stuff, not to mention the top line was simply too high. https://t.co/dSqjddfQNv — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Staff within each office and within committees are pouring over the changes to give members a clear picture of what’s in it. Pretty quickly, one can assess whether there’s too many negative aspects of a bill to vote yes. That’s a threshold we consider for every vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX

Today I voted against the $1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill. Why? Not because we didn’t have time to read it. That’s a lame excuse. We have methods to digest large bills, and most of the stuff in these bills is expected. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2022, the DEA seized more than 379 million doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in America. The Mexican cartels are a clear and present danger, and today we will vote on legislation that does nothing to address it. This will change next year. — PolitiTweet.org
