I'm a gun owner. There's no doubt in my mind that we should:
1) Require universal background checks
2) Mandate a 48 hour waiting period for purchases
3) Ban military-style assault rifles, along with accessories like high-capacity magazines and bump stocks
This is common sense.
Imagine all those guys protesting in Minnesota today being upset about the government telling them what they can do with their bodies.
Bless their hearts.
BREAKING: WE JUST REPEALED PAUL RYAN
Now it's time to replace him. Chip in to help us build this campaign and give
#WI01
, for the first time in 20 years, some real representation.
Moments ago,
@PRyan
deleted this tweet after we told him just how out of touch he was. Show Paul Ryan what you think of his tax bill. Chip in $1.50 now to help us repeal and replace Ryan permanently this November.

We did it again! Democrats just elected
@ConorLambPA
in a district
@realDonaldTrump
won by 20 points, even after
@SpeakerRyan
's Super PAC spent millions.
Next up, defeating Paul Ryan in Wisconsin. Chip in now to help me do it:
BREAKING: Paul Ryan just fired House Chaplain Patrick Conroy after Conroy reminded Congress to think of the poor during the tax debate.
This is Paul Ryan's legacy. Party over country.
Trump should just claim that he built the doggone wall.
His supporters would believe him and we’d basically just save a lot of money that would better be spent by letting people see doctors.
If we defeat
@SpeakerRyan
and swing the massive arm of change back toward working people, even a little, it will be worth the fight.
This is the story of how we're going to win. Watch, RT, and help build this campaign:
Thank you can't even begin to express the gratitude I feel right now. I'm honored to accept the
#Democratic
nomination for Congress in
#WI01
.
Let's finish what we started:
Hey
@SpeakerRyan
. Word on the street is that before we've even gotten into the ring, you’ve had enough. Give me a call. I’ve got a lot of tools you can borrow on the jobsite here in Wisconsin.
Welcome to the working people's world.
After Ben Carson became HUD Secretary, Sean Hannity got $5 million worth of new HUD guaranteed loans to purchase discounted and foreclosed properties.
We should use HUD money to help low income renters. Not to help
@seanhannity
make a quick buck.
Really sad moment taking my dad back to the asst’d living facility where he resides.
Woman taking care of him almost ran to me when she saw me. Told me about how she cant afford health care and hopes I win.
Dad will be taken care of but lady who does it won’t be.
#MerryChristmas
Paul Ryan has allowed Devin Nunes to block Democrats from subpoenaing nearly two dozen witnesses with knowledge of
#TrumpRussia
connections. Paul Ryan is not interested in pursuing justice, he is only interested in protecting his political party.
In the chaos, this story received almost no attention. Ryan sided w/Nunes, so he will have access to the FBI investigation documents related to the dossier. I'll bet he calls the Trump team w/in an hour w/his findings!
The only thing Paul Ryan's done so far in response to Trump's complete embarrassment in Helsinki today was send a "strongly worded" statement.
Paul, you're Speaker of the House—not Speaker of the White House. Do your job. Hold investigations & figure out what Putin has on Trump.
Wisconsin just rejected
@ScottWalker
's handpicked candidate and elected
@judgedallet
, a fierce protector of women's rights and workers' rights, as our next Supreme Court Justice.
The Blue Wave has hit Wisconsin and is only growing. Next up: Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan’s handpicked replacement, Bryan Steil, just released three minutes of silent B roll footage in hopes a right wing Super PAC would use it to make an ad for him.
They haven't made one yet, so we made one for them.
Presenting: “The Life of Bryan”
.
@realDonaldTrump
- you are an embarrassment.
Looking forward to being part of a new Democratic Congress that holds you accountable for your actions.
@SpeakerRyan
might enable. I won’t. Enjoy these next 299 days.
In just 24 hours, you’ve watched and shared our new video over ONE MILLION TIMES. That's incredible. Thank you.
We're going to win across the country in 2018. In places like Alabama where we haven't won in years. Because we care about everyone. And they don't.
.
@SpeakerRyan
had high school students protesting gun violence outside of his office arrested today. We need representative who will take action to stop violence. Not take action to protect the NRA.
.
@SpeakerRyan
wanted $30 million from Sheldon Adelson for his SuperPAC, but it's illegal for Representatives to ask for that much money. To avoid the law, he went into the hallway while his friend asked.
Get big money out of politics. End Citizens United.
Meanwhile back in Wisconsin we're worrying about the homeless making it through another frigid night. It's a great year for those who survived.
#WI01
#Priorities
With historic, pro-growth tax reform now the law of the land, Americans all across the country are waking up with a new tax code. A great start to 2018. Happy New Year!
For the second time in a week,
@realDonaldTrump
has criticized
@MaxineWaters
' intelligence. It was a racist dog whistle last week, and it was a racist dog whistle last night. I stand with Maxine.
Coming up to 1 more year that I’ve quit smoking
Was up to 2 packs/day
My son blocked me from going outside one day to have a cigarette
Dropped onto floor crying that they’d kill me.
Promised him I’d quit
I did
Bonus we get to look at each other’s smiles.
5+ years cigarette free.
A single, anonymous donor gave Paul Ryan's dark money political "non-profit" $24.6 million to try and keep the Republican's House Majority.
Politicians should be responsible to the people, not their billionaire donors. We have to End Citizens United.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, neither of my two full time jobs offered insurance. In the end, my bills bankrupted me.
Our healthcare system is the most expensive in the world. We need reform that puts patients first, not pharmaceutical profits.
Seriously? This administration gave a $1.5 trillion tax cut to the 1%. Now they're telling us they can't afford health care for those of us who put on a uniform to serve our country. This is shameful.
.
@realDonaldTrump
ran from the students.
@SpeakerRyan
hasn't said a word about the millions who marched. We don't have leaders right now, we have cowards.
.
@SpeakerRyan
spent all weekend in Florida, but he wouldn’t even visit Parkland to offer comfort and support.
Paul Ryan won’t do anything to prevent future attacks. We have to replace him with a Congressperson who will.
A reminder.
@SpeakerRyan
is a multi-millionaire. When his eyes light up talking about his tax plan, he's not talking about helping working people, he's talking about giving himself a pay raise.
Veterans don’t want to see a multimillion dollar parade. We want to see our Commander-in-Chief honor our sacrifice.
He could start by fully funding the VA.
.
@SpeakerRyan
spent his career giving himself what he refused to share with others.
1. He got millions from his tax scam—we didn't
2. He took social security—then used his career to try & end it
3. He takes family leave—and voted against it for the rest of us
We won't miss him
.
@realDonaldTrump
owes Deutsche Bank at least $130 million, and now, he's waived punishments on Deutsche Bank for three years for their role in the LIBOR Collusion Scandal.
Wall Street owns Trump. He won't fight for working families. I will.
Paul Ryan doesn't think he can beat us. He's scared because of you.
More than 55,000 people have stepped up and contributed to our campaign to repeal and replace Paul Ryan. Have you? >>
It's time to elect leaders who will take on the
@NRA
and pass gun safety reform. I'm the veteran, ironworker, and gun owner who will get it done.
Watch our new ad, then chip in to help us put it on air:
In the close to 24 hours since Doug Jones' victory, our campaign has raised nearly $50,000.
This is what a wave looks like.
Help us reach our $50,000 goal to send a message heard around the country. This wave is going to crash straight into Paul Ryan.
.
@SpeakerRyan
is so afraid of losing reelection that "The Hill" just reported he's thinking about resigning in the next "30 to 60 days."
Good.
Let's give him one more reason to be afraid—and save us from 7 more months of his "leadership."
Chip in now.
Hey
@SpeakerRyan
: Social Security isn't an "entitlement." It's an earned benefit. And we're not going to let you take away what WE the people have earned.
Don’t worry about how I’m dealing with the hit ads.
We knew this was coming because they can’t win on ideas.
Worry about getting everyone to the polls on November 6.
YOU make sure it’s worth it.
YOU all got me here.
Let’s finish it.
They run from people.
We run FOR people.
Paul Ryan passed a 1.5 trillion dollar tax bill that takes from working people to give to the super rich.
Days later, he got $500,000 in Koch contributions.
Paul Ryan hasn’t faced a real congressional challenger in 20 years.
Now that he’s got a real opponent, he’s ready to run away.
Good.
Help us convince Paul Ryan to quit. Chip in now.
“I think the focus on the NRA is overblown and misguided.”

We won't have gun reform until we beat Paul Ryan. He has to be defeated.
ICE has abused their power to deport so many women, children, and asylum seekers with no criminal record to countries where their lives are at risk.
ICE didn't exist until 15 years ago. There's no reason for them to exist now.
Add your name:
#AbolishIce
Paul Ryan is calling his decision today to pass the
#TaxScamBill
, which will give himself hundreds of thousands of dollars at the expense of working people, "Our moment."
He's right.
This is the moment that will lead to his own defeat.
I went to public school. My son Ben goes to public school. Our communities need public schools. And if we don’t fund our public schools, we will all pay the price.

@SpeakerRyan
won't watch this ad because he'll be standing right behind
@realDonaldTrump
—clapping along to whatever Trump says.
Watch the ad we're airing before the
#SOTU
on Tuesday, then chip in to help us hold Ryan accountable on national TV:
A year ago, I was hanging off the side of what would become the new Northwestern Mutual building in Milwaukee.
This year, in just 2 months, YOU helped raise $1.5 million to beat Paul Ryan. Average donation: ~$20.
For everything you do, thank you!
One of my first jobs out of the Army was working with homeless vets. I saw firsthand how quickly you can go from hero to zero when the government doesn't care about you anymore. On any given night, there are ~39,471 homeless veterans. We HAVE to do better.
The CEO of Pfizer got a 61% pay raise this year, bringing his total compensation to 27.9 million dollars.
There's a reason we pay more for prescription drugs in America than in any other country on Earth.
