I got a call tonight from a constituent whose son is in federal prison He explained that he hasn’t heard from his son in several days (which is unusual for him), that his son suffers from multiple, potentially life-threatening health conditions that are going untreated in prison, and that he needed to know whether his son was still alive He sent me the main switchboard number for the prison in question (which is on the east coast), and I called the number Someone answered almost immediately I explained who I was and why I was calling, and in particular that I needed to know whether this particular inmate was alive and well The guy scolded me three times for calling “too f***ing late” and refused to tell me anything Only when I persisted did he agree to check his records to confirm that the inmate in question was alive and well After checking a list briefly, he came back to the phone and said “he’s here, and he’s alive and receiving the treatment he needs” (His parents assure me that that’s simply not true) I asked politely if someone could leave the inmate a message asking him to call his parents in the morning He said, “it’s too late” I responded, “I don’t mean now, I mean in the morning” He scolded me again for calling too late, and then told me I’d have to call tomorrow and track down the inmate’s counselor I asked him if he could relay the note to the counselor for me He scolded me again for calling too late and asked me to call back tomorrow to track down the inmate’s counselor I asked for the guy’s name He refused to answer I asked for his name again He hung up on me That’s not okay Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had this experience when talking to people from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on behalf of constituents with an incarcerated family member suffering from a severe medical condition And each occasion, I’ve been treated at best with dismissiveness and at worst with contempt and profanity Has anyone else experienced this with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?

Doomsday messaging delivered in a classified setting is especially difficult to refute publicly—because it can’t be discussed publicly They’re doing this to protect FISA 702 from even a single, commonsense reform We need modest limits on FISA 702 queries aimed at U.S. citizens

@TRHLofficial No one can dispute those entities are part of the core mission of the U.S. government.

How about which department *should* exist? Under George Washington, we had the Vice Presidency, +4 departments: War, AG, State, Treasury. That’s good.

@ChrisWillx @jameslynch32 Will the left now argue that these numbers must be equalized through admissions policies that uniquely favor men? That’s a terrible idea, of course. But that hasn’t stopped the left from advancing discriminatory policies in the past.

Opposition to the electoral college is opposition to the Constitution. The United States of America, as the name implies—and as the Constitution provides—is a union of states. It makes sense that in such a union, even the smallest states will have at least three electoral votes.

@abc4utah They are exactly 0 reasons why you as a media source in Utah will only post his apology, and not what he’s actually apologizing for. You’re not journalists. You are left-wing propagandists. For those that are wondering what they’re hiding, here it is.

There are people in Congress who support amnesty Republicans shouldn’t be among them

Democrats: blaming bad weather on anyone who rejects climate alarmism

After reviewing 60 million voter records (out of an estimated 174 million nationwide), @AAGDhillon found *hundreds of thousands* who shouldn’t be on the voter rolls—including many noncitizens. We need the SAVE America Act to protect the sanctity of our elections. Pass it on.

The “yes” votes have a “modest lead” so far.

Utah Valley University is disrespecting the tens of millions of Americans who are still mourning Charlie Kirk’s death by scheduling Sharon McMahon—who defamed Charlie within hours after he was murdered on UVU’s campus—as its commencement speaker Should UVU find another speaker?

Should proof of citizenship be required to register to vote in federal elections?

@CauseAmerica @HarmeetKDhillon “Noncitizens don’t register to vote,” they told us. They lied.

“We’ve run 50–60 MILLION voter records and found HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who should not be on the rolls—dead voters, movers, duplicates, even non-citizens. This is not ‘a conspiracy theory.’ It’s data.” @HarmeetKDhillon This is exactly why Cause of America was founded: corrupt voter rolls + mass mail ballots + no real ID checks = a system BUILT for abuse. We don’t fix this with press releases. We fix it with citizen-led canvassing, list cleanup, and lawfare in every corrupt county in America. Join us in the fight. CauseOfAmerica.org

Ilhan Omar: “Can I get a $1 million earmark for a ‘substance abuse clinic’?” Congress: “Sure!” Ilhan Omar: “It’s really a restaurant run by Somalis” Congress: …. Earmarks are bad This is just one of many examples that remind us why they should be banned

The FACE Act was never supposed to be politically one-sided—benefitting the left and hurting conservatives And yet that is how it has been used Until now

America’s media cartel: Refusing to report on violent crimes committed by illegal aliens against Americans. They don’t make the news. They just “report” it. Always in the light most favorable to the far left.

What would happen if the intended victims of South Africa’s genocidal maniacs were of *any* other race? Genocide is horrific and should be universally condemned—even where the victims are deemed to be of the “wrong race,” as they far too often are. Skin color is irrelevant.

@elonmusk @dezelan_james “If white people are the victims, it can’t be considered racism—or even genocide.”

Good question

When the U.S. government turns a blind eye to the largest human-trafficking operation in U.S. history, children suffer

Voter fraud is notoriously difficult to detect Especially without voter ID laws That’s why we need voter ID laws The SAVE America Act is a federal voter ID law Without it, federal elections will remain unacceptably vulnerable
