US attorney August 23rd 2018 indictment makes this day 8 of Duncan Hunter's refusal to answer the specific charges. This is day 8 without honor, courage or commitment for Congressman Duncan Hunter on indictment: 10news.com/news/supporter-gr…
9 nickels is bad enough but the existential threat is the mob gathering behind him! Brett Kavanaugh should never see scotus teapawt.org/JeffMerkley/status/101…
.@realDonaldTrump has picked as his #SCOTUSPick Brett Kavanaugh, who said presidents shouldn't be prosecuted or indicted in office, and should be able to freely fire special prosecutors. Coincidence?

Off topic – the candidate in 2020 better be a take no prisoners street fighter who is prepared to go 15 rounds in a VERY brutal campaign. It will be a cage match like no other in modern times. The future of the republic may depend on it.

I rarely ask for help but I’m asking now. We need to pressure the govt to reunite families NOW by using a single staging area approach. This can be solved but they need to act immediately before time and distance permanently destroys families. Please trend #SingleStagingAreaNow
Enough and simply why . . . You would think some US electeds might actually show some courage and Leadership dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index…

Hey, @PressSec, this has nothing to do with respecting troops. We know NFL players support troops and vets.
They did not: Insult POWs for "being captured;" Insult Gold Star families; Try to kick vets off 5th Avenue; Appoint an unvetted guy with red flags to head VA, and more. teapawt.org/kylegriffin1/status/10…
Go look at Levin and Jacobs commercials, they never talk. They're silent crickets whose lines are only "I paid for this". If you want to hear your voice in Congress, send in the Colonel. kusi.com/the-race-for-distri…

It is INSANE that Trump wanted to put Dr. Jackson in charge of the VA. Jackson is now being investigated.
Veterans can never thank @SenatorTester enough, for standing up to protect us, even though he knew he'd take heat from Trump.

Narrators' voices speak in other candidates' commercials except for "I paid for this ad". NOT Marine Colonel Doug Applegate. SEND him to be your voice in Congress

The only poll that matters now is on Election Day. Be skeptical of internal and misleading polling with no transparency. Applegate won nearly half the votes in 2016 and is the only Dem who can win in November. A vote for Applegate=a vote for CA49 #1621 cnn.com/2018/06/01/politics/…
Here they go again. Mike Levin swapped his environmental booklet for Darrell Issa’s 2016 election playbook. He started with a whisper campaign and now he is out of the shadows, sending out attack mailers. Well, here is what my ex-wife and kids have to say. applegateforcongress.com/pri…
As we do on every Memorial Day, I stand with those that gave the ultimate sacrifice and their families. We would do well to remember Thucydides:
“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.”
It's going to be a beautiful day on Sunday for the Strawberry Festival in Vista, and a beautiful day to get-out-the-vote for the frontrunner in the 49th congressional race, Doug Applegate.#flipthe49th
