While we enjoy Christmas w family and friends I want to wish a Merry Christmas to uniform service members who may be away fr family. Thx for ur service and the sacrifice u tolerate for family separation. Thx for defending us and our freedom

U won’t believe this. While history channel has ancient aliens on CNN has real history right now FLIP CHANNEL QUICKLY

Fed govt spends $4 trillion+ per yr Seems to me we can find way to fund security measures dem senators supported b4 Why shut down govt over Christmas for less than 1/10 of 1% of annual fed govt spending? Need border security + Stop Schumer Shutdown

Only way I know to stop a Schumer shutdown is 4 Schumer &Trump to be locked in a room &reach agreement on $ 4 border security. Obv must stop drug dealers, human traffickers& criminals fr entering country. What’s big deal Sen Schumer? U have voted to spend 25b on wall-why not $5B?

To all the ppl who always disagree w my tweets bc I’m a Republican-what do u think of us passing bipartisan criminal justice reform that I’ve worked on for yrs???

House passing the First Step Act proves that the last yr of monthly reports of the death of criminal justice reform were wrong/quite obvious those reports were highly exaggerated YET good bipartisan policy prevailed w the help of @realDonaldTrump

Scty Mattis has been an outstanding Scty of Defense but most of all I want to compliment him for 44 yrs of service in the Marine Corps/for his ldrship there & for the sacrifice he made defending our freedoms

Good news Iowa farmers: u hve certainty w PresTrump signing farm bill 2day Disappointed my amendment to close payment loopholes so fake farmers don’t get fed $$ wasnt included but I'm happy w CRP reforms+crop insurance protected Thx Chair Roberts+RM Stabenow for ur hard work
