WASHINGTON — It’s that time of the year when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) airs his grievances in a well-retweeted tweetstorm.
Paul does it every Dec. 23 to mark the Seinfeld holiday of Festivus, which included a dinner, feats of strength and the airing of grievances.
And the senator builds up a few of those over the year.
Hello again, I hope everyone is having a Happy Festivus! It’s once again time for my annual #AiringofGrievances… pic.twitter.com/pZfRtAUtZN

On the media & #fakenews: Festivus is real, media, so don’t try 2 fact check it. And @TheOnion is more accurate than a Brian Williams report

New administration is lookin good. Haven’t seen this many billionaires in 1 place since I staked out Bilderbergs w/ Alex Jones. Good times.

.@peterthiel is advising the President Elect. That’s great. But his plan 2 make the Statue of Liberty into a digital stop sign is a bit much

The senator threw some shade at the man he pledged to fervently oppose if he had received the secretary of State nod:
I know I’ve said a lot about @AmbJohnBolton so you’re probably expecting me 2 say something nice for the holidays. Nope. #AiringofGrievances

And threw some more shade at former Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s 2011 debate flub:
My favorite Cabinet pick is what’s his name, umm it’s that guy who wanted to eliminate the Dept. of @ENERGY. Hang on I’ll think of it…

New administration has some great people. But I wanna know who has to tell @realdonaldtrump he can’t build a golf course on the South Lawn?

Paul promised to return later in the day “to talk waste, more gov grievances and nonbinding resolutions against my Senate colleagues.”
