- RT @SpeakerBoehner: Arrogance of power --> RT @whitehouse: It's. The. Law. #ObamaCareInThreeWords, http://t.co/Bd38U34tmo
- MT @GregoryKorte: FOIA public reading room @ IRS HQ is closed to public. (Guards would not allow me to photo the locked door.) Outrageous.
- RT @rorycooper: More. IRS. Agents. #ObamaCareInThreeWords
- #ObamacareInThreeWords: It's a tax.
- RT @aawayne: Remember the #ObamaCare "Cadillac tax?" Pretty much no one is gonna pay it, @anussbaum1 reports. http://t.co/MPfgMtz28T
- #ObamacareInThreeWords Not a fix.
- #ObamacareInThreeWords Not helping. Really.
- IRS had one mission to execute: Enforce the tax code in a non-partisan way. Sorry, but this can't just be wrapped up in less than a week.
- The Train Wreck Club, (@MaxBaucus et al), should join w/the GOP in repealing #Obamacare and help us find solutions. http://t.co/VoVrG9xNT1
- Deadly because it's a long, terrible law MT @mccormackjohn: "will sell my soul to devil if [Ocare regs] falls on Boehner" jokes reporter
- RT @JeffreyYoungHC: .@MaxBaucus really should've trademarked "trainwreck" and used the proceeds to buy everyone health insurance.
- @JeffreyYoungHC Would have been better than the legislation @MaxBaucus wrote.
- RT @Dcarter888K: @SpeakerBoehner new IRS Scandal Medical Records We DON'T WANT IRS EVEN CLOSE TO HEALTHCARE #FULLREPEAL #ObamaCare http://t…
- Headed to the WWII memorial today to greet an Honor Flight. Meeting these people who gave their all is so humbling.
- RT @marcorubio: Remember the same #IRS that targeted conservative groups will be the one enforcing the #Obamacare disaster with fines. #IRS…
- Big government is ineffective government. Note how no one up top is accountable, just the ones below. Is that effective management?
- RT @theTomBrandt: VIDEO: @GOPConference Vice Chair @RepLynnJenkins discusses scandals in DC at leadership presser #IRS #DOJ #tcot http://t.…
- RT @DonSeymour: RT @SpeakerBoehner: Question isn’t about who is going to resign over #IRS scandal; it’s who’s going to jail? http://t.co/z7…
- That was from last year. http://t.co/n3k8wLWGOr
- "Two weeks after receiving the IRS letter, Mr. VanderSloot received another—this one from the Department of Labor." http://t.co/n3k8wLWGOr
- Great seeing you all! RT @KansasAFP: Meeting with @RepMikePompeo on Capitol Hill. http://t.co/sevxjOix9n
- Administration gone amuck. So many terrible things happening, it's hard to keep track.
- RT @rorycooper: White House message: 1) Trust your government. 2) The President and his cabinet have no idea what the government is doing.
- I'll be on MSNBC with @ThomasARoberts to discuss the ongoing investigation into #Benghazi at 11:14am. Tune in!
- @BuzzFeedAndrew @dandrezner Neither set of "optics" were desirable. They're both sad examples of what we've come to expect.
- @BuzzFeedAndrew @dandrezner You forget that Obama jetted off to Vegas without pause after the Benghazi killings.
- Constitution. Sorry about the typo!
- Hey I just met you and this is crazy, but I just subpoenaed all the AP's numbers and violated the Constituion, maybe http://t.co/mFXPB8raWx
- Forget the 3 am phone call, the President wants to know who the @AP is calling at all hours. http://t.co/reyJVgIozR
- Edits? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. cc @PressSec http://t.co/lMVqSh9qsh
- Wasn't this supposed to save $? MT @HouseCommerce: Report: #Obamacare cld cause premiums to spike to 400% http://t.co/uQJctBXSaK #RateShock
- Obama administration: Paying more attention to #TeaParty groups than to terrorist attacks in #Benghazi. #Priorities
- Stumped. Who would admit that? RT @rickklein: @RepMikePompeo I don't know of anyone who's said that, do you?
- Yet another Bay of Pigs moment for Obama that's come and gone. Could own the mistake. Refuses to. That's not leadership.
- Names. RT @rickklein Obama says members of Congress "concluded nothing was afoul" w/ talking points months ago. Really, they said that?
- "The whole issue of talking points, throughout this process, frankly has been a sideshow." So what's the main event, Mr. President?
- @RepMikeRogers did an excellent job on @FoxNewsSunday, noting discrepency bw intel reports & admin talking points. http://t.co/nu3Du9gwVS
- Looks like the Friday news dump strategy didn't work so well for the IRS.
- RT @JPFreire: Moms: Paying it forward since the dawn of humanity.
- Enjoyed speaking with @AlexWitt about #Benghazi. It's about fixing a national security failure, not politics. http://t.co/EiB8z3V967
- I'll be on MSNBC at 11am central, 12pm eastern to discuss Benghazi. Mainly, this isn't about Hillary, it's about fixing a security flaw.
- @ICTBizEmily I will go on record as saying that Wichita is cool.
- Why the question mark? MT @ICTBizEmily: That "Is Wichita cool?" story we talked about no longer behind paywall http://t.co/SNvUsBeUW1
- @SECupp just mentioned my op-ed on MSNBC, explaining that even Democrats are calling this law a train wreck. Thanks! http://t.co/37BT0pZsG5
- All those moms behind Obama at today's presser about to join the #TrainWreck Club--"they just don't know it yet." http://t.co/37BT0pZsG5
- RT @JoeNBC: A coincidence that Jon Karl's embarrassing State Dept story and the IRS scandal both broke on Friday? I doubt it.
- Did the President just say that companies won't be allowed to spend money on profits? What does that even mean? #Trainwreck
- President says that Obamacare prevents insurers from taking advantage of people. Which is why he forces us to buy insurance. #Trainwreck
- Dems wanted Obamacare. They got it. Now they're calling it a "train wreck." We should call them the Train Wreck Club http://t.co/37BT0pZsG5
- RT @ICTBizJournal: Sounds like @RepMikePompeo is encouraged by early reception of his #bizav bill http://t.co/gUD3FzECH7 via @ICTBizJournal
- Great column today by @MZHemingway http://t.co/5WxV6Zjkjv. I've signed onto a letter asking SecDef for more on Weinstein's Pentagon visit.
- Wow. http://t.co/DTLHvrNSz3
- Someone should make it clear that Snapchat is not an appropriate medium for the White House to make Benghazi documents public.
- @TeamRickPerry President Obama was focused on jobs 5 years ago. Just that he wanted policies that'd kill them, from Obamacare to Dodd Frank.
- RT @Reince: Agree with @SpeakerBoehner - the White House should release #benghazi attack emails so Americans can see them
- You're a journalist? MT @piersmorgan BOOM! 3.5m followers. Now 2nd most followed journalist in the world
- Honored! RT @JahnChris: Thanks to @RepMikePompeo for addressing NACD Fly-In this morning. We are pushing his General Duty Clause bill today.
- @TPCarney @willcain On the YouTube-caused-Benghazi claim, the Administration is like any other YouTube commenter: Wrong.
- RT @Brendan_Buck: At this point I'd rather Martin Bashir just go back to saying ridiculous things about my boss.
- Last tweet interested me because the Left thinks this is a Hillary hearing. It's not. It's about accountability.
- The other sad part of Benghazi: All those who thought we should censor Youtube videos. Via @MLeeWelch: http://t.co/qkT8LDd63E
- RT @GingerGibson: Issa is starting to up his Clinton focus. Hasn't really spent much time on her during Benghazi hearing thus far.
- @joshtpm @ErikWemple makes a good point: http://t.co/NjO6AYn3Bv
- Great! RT @NBAA: NBAA welcomes legislation sponsored by @RepMikePompeo to smooth certification for GA aircraft http://t.co/tyFbKH2FGN #bizav
- @joshtpm Old things become new again all the time. But not worth our arguing about. Looking forward to more of your coverage though.
- @joshtpm That's it?
- @joshtpm Haven't looked but would love to see your past criticism of D oversight hearings as not credible.
- @joshtpm Can't help but feel like the reason you think this oversight is not credible is because it's Rs running it and not Ds.
- @joshtpm Not intending to. You are just saying we're not meeting a standard you've arrived at arbitrarily. I'm saying others disagree.
- @joshtpm (2/2) why bother do public hearings? Why bother get testimony? Because live testimony is more powerful. You can't deny that.
- @joshtpm Now it sounds more like you're splitting hairs. Attracting attn to this disaster is a necessary part of oversight. Otherwise (1/2)
- @joshtpm Don't people question your motives all the time when you search for truth? You do your best to provide the facts. We are doing same
- @joshtpm Cover-ups and betrayal are the thematic issues at the heart of this! U r left-leaning, and you deal with that balance all the time!
- @joshtpm I'm not sure you mean to blanket condemn everyone who speaks on Benghazi. You get a range of voices. That's America. (1/2)
- @joshtpm You can't seriously be suggesting that these hearings aren't a necessary part of the process, can you?
- @joshtpm You don't know what you can get from a hearing until you hold one. But at the very least, increasing public scrutiny is good.
- @joshtpm Then why make a '95 parallel?
- RT @tobyharnden: Dem members repeatedly quoting media fact check whoppers & Pinocchios at these witnesses about things they had nothing…
- @joshtpm I'd be shocked if what you're actually saying is that Democrats don't care about Benghazi. We all care. Massive natsec problem.
- @BenjySarlin @joshtpm Don't you think it'd be an outrage if we lost these lives and the House didn't demand hearings? Come on.
- @BenjySarlin @joshtpm "Nothing to see here" isnt an appropriate response to what happened. Wish more reporters would see this as nonpartisan
- @BenjySarlin @joshtpm It's not about Hillary. It's about a failure of leadership. Do you not think there should be oversight hearings?
- Thanks Bob! RT @bob_weeks: Light Aircraft Revitalization Act introduced by @RepMikePompeo http://t.co/qCa5AUZPIX
- When arguing for abolition Lincoln rightly noted that Declaration of Independence wasn't simply a prefatory doc. It was a mission statement.
- Many of the Founders had flaws that may have undermined their stance on tyranny. But does that mean tyranny is less bad bc of their actions?
- Repeated a number in my countdown. You get the picture.
- 1. James Madison: Most significant contributor to our Constitution, the actual hand that guided our nation's birth. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 2. George Washington: Guided the Constitutional Convention. Led our armies against actual tyranny. No third term. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 4. Hamilton: His understanding of trade led America to be the global dynamo it is today. Federalist co-author. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 5. Thomas Jefferson: The Declaration of Independence. Period. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- @IraStoll John/Sam Adams. Solved.
- @IraStoll Thanks!
- RT @IraStoll: @RepMikePompeo John, not Sam, Adams generally credited for Mass. Constitution, though Sam made impt. contributions. See 208-2…
- 5. James Monroe: Established the Monroe Doctrine, helping to guide American foreign policy for years to come. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 6. Ben Franklin: Proved that innovation is a handmaiden to freedom and warned Britain against greater regulations #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 7. Patrick Henry: Fought for the adoption of the Bill of Rights. "Give me liberty or give me death." #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 8. Sam Adams: Not only threw tea overboard and made good beer. Wrote the Mass. constitution and became governor. #FoundersAgainstTyranny
- 9. Gouverneur Morris: Work in the 2nd Continental Congress was invaluable. Credited with writing the Preamble #FoundersAgainstTyranny
