Ugh — *in #TwitterEditButtonPlease

@TaraRoss

It’s almost like #freedom and self-responsibility was the answer all along.

Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone that the American experiment on self-governance works, when we let it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The nine scariest words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

Many executive orders coming on Wed.: unilateral decisions on impt. issues. Same thing happened 4 yrs ago-- & in 2001, 2009. #POTUS not meant 2 be this powerful. We've decimated #Constitution's checks & balances/separation of pwrs, then wonder why pres'l elections so contentious.

@TaraRoss

We can disagree. It doesn't mean we're wishing death on person standing next to us in grocery store. Our challenge: How do we refocus, remember that we are fellow Americans facing a common challenge, not biological weapons waiting to explode on each other? /3 &end #COVID19

@TaraRoss

Your neighbor must wear a #mask to protect you. Etc. Thus, if yr neighbor happens to disagree w/you on the best approach to #COVID19, then that disagreement is no longer simple disagreement. Some will see it as a death wish. None of this is good or healthy in a free country. /2

@TaraRoss

National emergencies often bring unity, as happened post-9/11. Why didn't #COVID bring unity? Consider: We should have been focused on a common enemy ( #COVID19). Instead, govt's chosen approach made our neighbors our enemy. Yr neighbor might make you sick..... /1 #CovidVaccine

On this day in 1925, a bit of wisdom from Calvin Coolidge. #TDIH #OTD #History #liberty #freedom #Constitution

#TDIH (1942) American film actress Carole Lombard is tragically killed in a plane crash as she returns from a WWII War Bonds tour. Her trip had been part of Hollywood’s early response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. #history #America #WWII

@TaraRoss

#TDIH (1788) Fisher Ames addresses the MA state ratifying convention, then considering the #Constitution. “A democracy is a volcano, wch conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction,” Ames said. Yet too many today misunderstand his meaning. #history

@TaraRoss

The quest for power is ugly.

Both sides think I’m talking about the other, which says a lot about our world right now.

At times like these, we need the checks &balances in our govt more than ever — all three branches, yes, but ALSO state legis vs feds.

Replying to @KahlonRav: Proud dad moment today. My 10yr old son saw a new kid sitting by himself. Another friend and he decided to hang out with him…

@TaraRoss

#TDIH (1741) Benedict Arnold is born. You know him as a traitor to the American cause, but do you know the rest of his story? Arnold started off as someone that you might admire. #history #throwback #thursdaymorning #facts

“We spend too much time watching what happens in Washington, DC.” — the great @KimStrassel at @TPPF’s Policy Orientation, imploring Texans—and all Americans—to do our duty to restore federalism.

AMEN!

Proud dad moment today. My 10yr old son saw a new kid sitting by himself. Another friend and he decided to hang out with him over lunch. He got this lovely note at the end of the day😢❤️

@TaraRoss

#TDIH (1982) A Boeing 737 crashes into the Potomac. It was a day of unnecessary tragedy—but also one of astonishing heroism.

Determined. Kind. Taking risks, even for a stranger. THIS is the America we know and love. #ProudToBeAnAmerican

@TaraRoss

#Freedom isn’t just a word we say. It’s not selfish, as some imply. It’s the absolute best, most dignified path forward.

#COVID is not the only evil to avoid. Everyone has different priorities. We can think for ourselves; make our own choices. Thought we decided THAT in 1776.

@TaraRoss

THREAD: I haven’t said much about the #ElectoralCollege this week, despite two decades of studying the system, because I needed time to formulate my thoughts on some of what we are watching. /1
