Marshall (R-KS) 11/07/2022: Twitter thread – “MEGA THREAD🧵Tomorrow is election day. As a reminder, this is how Democrats have governed over the last 2 years: Dems tried to fire 44 million Americans over a vaccine that doesn't stop transmissions. Link to quoted tweetPresident Biden on his new vaccine mandate: "This is not about freedom or personal choice. It's about protecting yourself and those around you." (Link to twitter.com) Dems tried to dishonorably discharge U.S. servicemembers for refusing the vaccine when Biden's own son received a lesser discharge for cocaine use. Link to quoted tweetA dishonorable discharge treats our heroes like felons — they deserve better. (Link to twitter.com) Dems halted American Energy which contributed to $5 gas, depleted our strategic reserve, and put our national security at risk. The Biden Admin also spent months lying to the American people claiming that they have not been interfering with American oil production. Well the truth is out, “No more drilling” Biden said himself. Wonder how they will try to spin this now. Link to quoted tweetBiden: "No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven't formed any new drilling." (Link to twitter.com) Dems spent over $4 TRILLION in federal funding that went to unneeded pandemic aid, radical climate agendas, and give aways to upper-class college graduates. Dems' out-of-control spending contributed heavily to the 13.5% inflation increase that has occurred since Biden took office. Link to quoted tweetJoe Biden doesn't seem to remotely understand how bad inflation is for average Americans. Grocery costs were up 13.5% over last year for example. He's acting like forty year high inflation is no big deal. Crazy. (Link to twitter.com) Dems opened our borders and gave free secret flights and phones to unvetted illegal immigrants. Link to image Biden's disastrous Afghanistan retreat led to the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers. Biden's CDC wants to make the COVID vaccine mandatory for children when they have little to no risk of severe COVID infection. Link to quoted tweetBREAKING: The CDC just officially voted to add COVID-19 vaccine to the child immunization schedule. It was a unanimous, 15-0 vote. (Link to twitter.com) Biden's CDC colluded with teachers' unions to keep students home- test scores plummeted as a result. COVID lockdown Democrats kept children out of school... | m.washingtontimes.com Dems declared war on parents asking questions about their children's curriculum in taxpayer funded classrooms. DOJ's Appalling Crackdown on Parents | National Review Just a few years ago, we had the greatest economy of my lifetime. Now many American families are stretching their dollars to make ends meet. Link to quoted tweetAmerican families were $700 poorer in June under Biden. In Biden's America, the Left thinks you shouldn't be concerned about mundane things like murder rates. Link to quoted tweetOther than murder, violent crime is not up. Did you know that? Violent crime is a key midterm voting issue, but what does the data say? (Violent crime is a key midterm voting issue, but what does the data say?... | pewrsr.ch) Dems can play with crime stats, but Americans know the truth. Crime is surging, and many cities across our country are less safe today than the day Biden took office. Link to quoted tweetCNN: 56% of Americans say there is more crime in their community than a year ago, the most in five decades. (Link to twitter.com)   Link to reply@RogerMarshallMD Keep going ! @emilymiller Happy to! Under Biden, farm input prices like fertilizer and diesel for the Ag industry have skyrocketed. Biden's EPA, like Obama's before him, wants to control your land and livelihood through unnecessary regulations like the WOTUS rule and 30 x 30. Link to quoted tweetAgriculture is the backbone of the Kansas economy. Our farmers and ranchers are the original conservationists and know what's best for the land. That's why I am introducing the 30 x 30 Termination Act to block the Biden Administration's land-grab attempt. (Link to twitter.com)”

McCaul (R-TX-10) 11/08/2022: Retweet of @McCaulforTexas – “From caving on Nord Stream 2 to his failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden has been projecting weakness & emboldening our adversaries.

Scalise (R-LA-1) 11/07/2022: Tweet – “For two long years the Biden Administration has gone unchecked. That's about to change. Accountability is coming. On Afghanistan.
