@TristanSnell And to pretend, when justice finally prevailed, that you didn’t know what was happening.

@RepMikeLawler What nonsense. DOGE is not hiding its moves to close SSA offices, shut phone service and take our private data. You and your party own this.

@RepMikeLawler Are you talking about the tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefitted the rich - and that were paid for in part by capping the NYS SALT deduction - the cap you campaigned on the promise to eliminate? And failed to eliminate? The 2017 tax law hurt your constituents, as you well know.

@RepMikeLawler So easy to offer words like this. Where is your condemnation of the epic and lawless security breach that jeopardizes our military and our nation’s safety?

@RepMikeLawler What are you doing about tariffs, which will drive up prices on everything?

@RepMikeLawler All while you cheer an Admin that guts the VA, fires countless veterans, demolishes NIH-funded research on cancer, diabetes & other illnesses affecting veterans, & likely drives some to commit suicide. That of course wouldn’t be considered service-connected. But you own it.

@ThomasMHern If Khalil committed a crime, arrest and charge him. Extrajudicial roundups never work out well for Jews, whom my rep, Lawler, claims to care about.

@RepMikeLawler Your Party and this Admin have shown it has the power and will to reverse all sorts of Biden policies. You own this. A betrayal of your elder constituents.

@RepMikeLawler I’ll share a thought now: Closing our local #SocialSecurity office (Westchester) and gutting phone service is a betrayal of your elder constituents. Shame on a Party & an Admin intent on hurting seniors.

@thenation @CynthiaNixon Irresponsible not to mention WFP candidate in #NY17 is a MAGA spoiler in a race that can determine control of the House.

@LawlerLies @lawler4ny @marklevinshow Every other post on my X feed is Lawler (with wife) claiming he’ll fight for IVF. This can’t end soon enough. I guess Elon’s donation in some measure is endless ad space.

@thejackhopkins Is have respect for Republicans who’ve been urging him to speak out, but many of us have always known who he is and expected nothing better in this moment.
