“John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up…” - Years after the passing of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Donald Trump continues to mock the injuries the former POW sustained while being tortured in Vietnam. (2024)

@DHSgov No. They're attempting to get them to show ID and take off their masks. Also don't want to increase their slush fund. But you know that. You blocked their funding bill because of it. FYI, thought you were the big show an ID people? Don't wear a mask people? Ahhhh, the irony

Democrats are forcing TSA agents to work without pay for the third time in nearly six months.   The financial hardship this Democrat-led chaos created has already forced more than 300 of these heroic officers to LEAVE the force. 
  Democrats must fund DHS NOW.

@SenKatieBritt @SenateGOP The way I understand it Republicans blocked the funding bill because it didn't add to the ICE slush fund. Maybe we don't approve of building more concentration camps?

Daily reminder that Democrats blocked funding for HOMELAND SECURITY including the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA. ICE and CBP are still funded and will continue to deport criminal illegal aliens.

Homeland Security
Democrats are once again playing political games with the livelihoods of our heroic TSA officers. This shutdown has forced these officers and 100,000 other DHS workers to work without pay — putting them and their families in financial uncertainty. Enough is enough. It’s time for Democrats to end the DHS shutdown.

Let’s put an end to the misinformation: the SAVE America Act helps Americans to prove their citizenship & identity without spending a dime. With that cleared up, I look forward to my Democrat colleagues supporting this wildly popular & important election security legislation!

President Trump is preparing an executive order that he says will try to revert the economics of college sports back to what they were like before players could profit from their name, image, and likeness. CBS News’ Major Garrett talks with Yahoo Sports writer Ross Dellenger on “The Takeout” about what the impact on NIL could be.

@highbrow_nobrow @Acyn Sure . Disenfranchise married women, intimidate POC at polling places with Kavanaugh stops, and he could be right. Save America ? Save DJT is more like it.

Mike Johnson: "We had a little hiccup with some Latino and Hispanic voters for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous. Everybody can describe it differently, but here's the good news: we're in a course-correction mode right now. We're gonna have a new DHS secretary."

@SenateGOP Something that could have been considered BEFORE an unprovoked war that promised regime change in Iran but resulted in a more extreme leader being installed? Also, destroying a girls' school and killing several children? And we wonder at threats of retaliation? Do your jobs.

@reedgalen Yeah. Just imagine how many citizens they can tackle, detain, and lock up until after the election. Oops . We thought you were an illegal. My bad. Object to being detained and they might just shoot you in the head. You know. Domestic terrorism. One less loony leftist 😬

@SenJohnKennedy @SenateGOP I'm not part of the loon wing. I'm a middle of the road Dem. But I believe our reps are doing the right thing. Time for Republicans to make some concessions. ICE has plenty of money. Now they need to be reigned in. Citizens need to be protected. And no more concentration camps.

If there ever were a time to come together to fund DHS, it’s NOW. But my Democratic colleagues aren’t being rational. They’re scared to death of getting punished by the loon wing of their party, and they’re not budging.

NEW: An NBC poll finds Pope Leo XIV and Stephen Colbert are the most popular figures in American public life. Donald Trump, JD Vance, both parties, ICE, and AI are underwater. A Catholic pope from Chicago is the most trusted man in the country. Govern accordingly. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…

@SenMcCormickPA @SenateGOP @POTUS Which version of Trump's Iran story should we believe? I know plenty of people who voted for him based on no new foreign wars and I'll release the Epstein files, so Trump actually stoked the opposition to his current actions. How quickly we forget 🙃

.@POTUS’s Operation Epic Fury is off to an incredible start, yet most Democrats are always looking for ways to oppose the president. His case for action is strong, the mission is well-defined, and our military is doing a fantastic job destroying the Iranian regime’s capabilities that threaten American forces and our allies.
