PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

x Yesterday afternoon, President Biden and the First Lady met with military families and delivered remarks as they celebrated Independence Day at the White House. pic.twitter.com/JDBTZeZXVt — The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 5, 2022

x Due to the pandemic, kids are behind in math and reading. We know how to help bridge this gap.



I'm calling on schools to use American Rescue Plan funds to expand tutoring, summer learning, and afterschool programs and to provide 250,000 more tutors and mentors for our kids. — President Biden (@POTUS) July 5, 2022

x President Biden will visit Cleveland to announce final American Rescue Plan fix for troubled multi-employer pension plans https://t.co/nrcXa4Qd59 — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) July 5, 2022

JAN. 6 COMMITTEE

x Save the date. The Jan. 6 Committee just announced the date of the next hearing: Tuesday, July 12 at 10am ET. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 5, 2022

x January 6 Select Committee makes it official:



Next public hearing will be Tuesday July 12 at 10am



(Per multiple members of committee: It’ll likely include a focus on far right groups and the alleged conspiracy) — Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) July 5, 2022

OIL PRICES

x Oil prices dropped 9% Tuesday—falling back below $100 per barrel for the first time since May. https://t.co/O574aEaQGE — Forbes (@Forbes) July 5, 2022

NATO

x BREAKING: Finland and Sweden sign a historic NATO accession protocol — Samuel Ramani (@SamRamani2) July 5, 2022

x BRUSSELS (AP) — The 30 NATO allies have signed off on the accession protocols for Sweden and Finland. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 5, 2022

x BREAKING: Canada becomes the first country to sign off on Finland and Sweden's accession to NATO — Samuel Ramani (@SamRamani2) July 5, 2022

FILIBUSTER & JOHN FETTERMAN

x Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman says "Democrats in the Senate need to scrap the filibuster and immediately pass common-sense reform like universal background checks for all gun sales and a ban on military-grade assault weapons and high capacity magazines." — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 5, 2022

Nearly 3000 people have signed up to run for office

x Also some actual good news in here: Nearly 3000 people have signed up to run for office at https://t.co/0Op0rhvfxv in the 11 days since the Roe decision dropped. That's a LOT. https://t.co/fyuCArSzg0? — Amanda Litman (@amandalitman) July 5, 2022

GUNS

x Research shows that red flag laws help prevent mass shootings — yet Republicans reject them, despite calling for such measures after every gun massacre. https://t.co/u3TBZHtoHG — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) July 5, 2022

x These gun-loving parents are truly sick and should be charged with child abuse. https://t.co/48pfzMTw2C — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) July 5, 2022

x 66% for making gun laws more strict, rather than keeping them the same (25%) or less strict (8%). A big margin on a pretty salient issue--and one (unlike inflation, say) on which Congress directly legislates. Shouldn't Democrats should be able to capitalize on this in 2022? pic.twitter.com/a3ZPeh81gJ — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) July 5, 2022

x the assault weapons ban worked pic.twitter.com/8uqnzkcUx3 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 5, 2022

x Confirmed. AR-15 purchased legally.



It’s the guns. — Mueller, She Wrote (@MuellerSheWrote) July 5, 2022

x It's like a scene in a horror movie. But worse: it's real life. This is the America the GOP and NRA have worked hard to create by opposing laws that would keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. The GOP and NRA Must be held accountable! https://t.co/ED5Wz7szen — (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) July 5, 2022

x NH House Majority Leader’s holiday weight loss advice. pic.twitter.com/nSS3QoL1BD — Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) July 5, 2022

ABORTION

x Just awful: Medical professionals in Louisiana just went on record saying the state's abortion ban will force them to choose between avoiding prosecution and treating pregnant women in grave medical danger.



This is a major new front in the post-Roe wars:https://t.co/mp0Ykg3j9j — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) July 5, 2022

x The six states with the highest maternal mortality rates in the nation have all banned abortion:



Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi.https://t.co/SFxYNp10wn — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 5, 2022

x This fall, Roe is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot.



Until then, we will do everything within our power to ensure that women have access to the medication they need and that they will have the freedom to travel to seek the care they need. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 5, 2022

FREEDOM

x California Gov. Gavin Newsom is running ads in Florida over the Fourth of July weekend encouraging Floridians to come live in his state. pic.twitter.com/2dkQoqAJXP — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 3, 2022

x Having unfettered access to 400 million guns isn’t freedom. Being able to take your kid to a Fourth of July parade without getting slaughtered is freedom. https://t.co/YL9b2RBlAm — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) July 4, 2022

REMEMBER !

Guns — Abortion — Freedom !!

GAF !!!

MITCH MCCONNELL

Actually, prices are high because of oil company price gouging. And when the House voted to crack down on it, McConnell BLOCKED Senate action.

https://t.co/w7lYDlVlUT — John Nichols (@NicholsUprising) July 5, 2022

REP. ERIC SWALWELL & THE GOP

x Thanks, Biden. If he’s responsible for them being high, waiting for that @HouseGOP tweet thanking him for the cost coming down. I’ll wait. https://t.co/qLcmRkLBXI — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) July 5, 2022

SPEAKING ABOUT GASPRICES

Gas-Prices-Drop-30-Cents-Today

JON COOPER & A GOOD QUESTION

x Why isn’t the media reporting that wholesale gasoline prices DROPPED an average of nearly 30 cents today?



It’s big news when gas prices go UP — but crickets when gas prices go DOWN. 🦗 — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) July 5, 2022

REPUPUBLICAN SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM & RUDI GIULIANI

x BREAKING: An Atlanta-area grand jury investigating Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia has subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani and Lindsey Graham, as well as several other key Trump allies. — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) July 5, 2022

LINDSEY GRAHAM

x Adam Kinzinger: “I’m blown away. It’s like ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers.’ This is not the Kristi Noem I served with.”

In response to her denial Trump had any responsibility for 1/6. — Duty To Warn 🔉 (@duty2warn) July 5, 2022

x These people are sick https://t.co/RpOIYbPETh — Adam Kinzinger🇺🇦🇺🇸✌️ (@AdamKinzinger) July 5, 2022

FROMER REPUBLICAN REP. JOE WALSH

x One more thing to all Dems & progressives who follow me: My former political party is now fully radicalized & fully anti-democracy. I helped make it so. You & I are united right now in defeating this Republican Party. THIS is OUR most pressing cause. Policy differences come 2nd. — Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) July 5, 2022

JOSH SHAPIRO

x Doug Mastriano wants to kick every Pennsylvanian off the voter-rolls and force them to re-register.

It's un-American. — Josh Shapiro (@JoshShapiroPA) July 5, 2022

DOUG MASTRIANO

TENNESSEE

x JUST IN:



Tennessee Republican Rep. Scott DesJarlais is 100% anti-abortion



Except that one time he asked his mistress to have an abortion in 2012



Oh yeah and the two times his wife did have an abortion — THE SAD TRUTH (@SmnWeekly) July 5, 2022

FLORIDA

x June was an incredible month - from gaining the support of the state's largest unions to celebrating #Pride across Seminole County. Help me kick off July and make sure that we put a fresh new voice in Tallahassee! https://t.co/M4MOuJdnwn — Sarah Henry (@sarahforfl) July 1, 2022
