@Rep_Stansbury ICE isn’t the problem. Democrats in Congress are

Our message is clear: Fund TSA. Fund FEMA. Fund the Coast Guard. Pay our federal workers! But not a penny more to ICE.   Republicans are playing games with ICE, refusing even the most basic accountability measures. That’s why we filed legislation this week to get vital programs funded while holding them accountable.   We are not here to play. Not when American lives are on the line.

@RepPettersen ICE doesn’t need fixing, sanctuary cities and state do. If they would flaunt Federal immigration laws, there wouldn’t be a problem.

I just signed a discharge petition, which would force a vote on legislation to pay our TSA agents, our Coast Guard, & FEMA workers. Our federal workers shouldn’t be held hostage because Republicans won’t come to the table to rein in ICE’s lawless operations.

@CynicalPublius @MrsDrPublius 😄😄😄😄😄😄

I just said to @MrsDrPublius: "I'm a recovering lawyer." She replied: "And I'm a recovering wife of a lawyer." 🤣 IYKYK

@mhdksafa @IsabeloftheUS That’s the problem, there are 3 million pages that say nothing. It’s not evidence and the evidence that did exist already put Epstein and his accomplice in jail.

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now. There are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men who Raped Cannibalized Trafficked Filmed Terrorized Tortured Murdered 13, 14, 15 year children! And Zero arrests.

Manufacturing employment stood at 12,573,000 in February 2026 (seasonally adjusted). Over the prior 12 months, the sector saw a net loss of 98,000 jobs (-0.8%). That’s just 0.8% that’s nothing and AI had a lot to do with this along with materials demand decline in construction, (i.e. housing) because of the FED is holding interest rates too damn high.

trump has no idea what he is doing. America lost 98,000 manufacturing jobs during his first 12 months in office.

@Rep_Walkinshaw @IsabeloftheUS Wait a minute, we overwhelmingly voted for mass deportations. Why are you standing against the people? Fund the DHS morons.

Republicans refuse to fund TSA, FEMA, & our brave Coast Guard servicemembers. Instead of working with us to rein in Trump’s deadly mass deportation machine, they’re choosing to withhold federal workers’ paychecks. I’m fighting to force a vote so we can pay them immediately.

Religious ruling?!? Kent forgot to mention, Tawriya (also spelled tawriyah or tawriya; Arabic: تورية) is an Islamic jurisprudential concept that refers to deliberate ambiguity or equivocation in speech. It involves saying something that is technically true according to the literal or intended meaning in the speaker’s mind, but which the listener is likely to misunderstand or interpret in a different (often more straightforward or opposite) way. The word derives from the Arabic root meaning “to conceal” or “to hide,” and in religious terminology, it describes using words with multiple possible meanings—where the speaker intends a less obvious or “hidden” sense, while the apparent or common meaning misleads the listener without the speaker uttering a direct falsehood.

Tucker: "Was Iran about to get a nuke?" Kent: "No. They've had a religious ruling against it since 2004. We had no intelligence that it was being disobeyed." So the entire war-the thousands dead, the billions spent, the American soldiers buried-was based on nothing. No nukes. No threat. Just a lie sold to justify a war that was always for Israel

What a ridiculous assessment. The U.S. builds runway overnight and repairs them in hours. Denmark knows this and if you believe the 33 soldiers they deployed for an exercise were going to make any significant difference should U.S. decide to attack, you are wrong and living a fantasy. This post was only created for conspiracy theorists propaganda and the mentally afflicted TDS to garner “clicks”.

@Tekeee Oil

Gold is crashing. Silver is crashing. Crypto is crashing. Stocks are crashing. The dollar is crashing. Real talk what should we buy now?

@jamestalarico You are lying about Trump. He is not guilty of anything you listed.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

I did serve as an enlisted Soldier (SSG) and I agree, you can make the greatest direct contribution. However, I could read a pay scale and converted to the Dark Side. I still made a difference indirectly by making or influencing policy. It’s all perspective. Yes it was more rewarding as an NCO, but I wouldn’t trade the retirement check.

I was an Army colonel. I would have traded it all to be a First Sergeant of a Company in the 82nd. People may view being an officer as being more prestigious, but it is my belief that being a senior NCO is far more satisfying given how closely you lead soldiers.

@CynicalPublius William Shakespeare’s play Henry VI, Part 2, Act 4, Scene 2: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

RE: Lawyerly Thoughts I have retired from the law and placed myself in “inactive status” in my two licensed jurisdictions. This finally gives me the freedom to share my unvarnished thoughts on the law and lawyers in a way I have been unable to do so before. I’m thinking of writing a series of lawyerly musings posts that I can later combine into a full length article. This is the first one. I believe I have a unique perspective on the law, having completed a successful military career before I stepped into law school. This meant that I was not wide-eyed and bushy-tailed in law school like most of my full time program (much younger) peers, and my earlier perspectives as a military decision maker made me cautious about some principles that I questioned as potentially being flawed or dangerous. So let’s talk about one: “EVERY CLIENT IS ENTITLED TO ZEALOUS LEGAL REPRESENTATION.” This is a bedrock concept of the practice of law, and one that lawyers are justifiably proud of as it is an essential component of equal justice under the law. But it has its flaws in the modern era. I remember one summer in law school I was an intern in a public defender’s office. One of our cases was a mass rapist who had been terrorizing women in local parks. This guy had blackish eyes that glowed with a sort of deep evil that seemed to come straight from the pits of Hell—it was like out of a horror film. He was as guilty as guilty could be, but we were trying to get him off on a claim of a bad search and seizure of some critical evidence. We were zealously representing a deranged rapist. The guy needed to be locked away for eternity, but we were trying to get him off. I know most lawyers are comfortable with that and consider it righteous, but for me it was the event that convinced me that I wanted nothing to do with criminal law. But that’s small potatoes to what I think is the bigger, profession-wide problem of “zealous representation.” Whether you are a litigator or a corporate lawyer (like I was), “zealous representation” means taking the facts at hand and interpreting them in the way most favorable to your client. I have found that “most favorable” means taking facts and pushing them in a client-favorable way right up to the edge of the line of lying, but not crossing it. You’re not lying, but are you really telling the objective truth? Over time that thought process of twisting facts away from what most reasonable laymen would consider as “true” changes a lawyer’s brain patterns. If you do this enough, you might stop being able to do anything else. Your brain changes, and not in a good way. I often found myself lapsing into this, but thankfully there remained a little portion of my brain that was still an Army colonel, and I think that little voice held me back. What ends up happening to too many lawyers is that every moment of their lives starts to consist of looking for angles to twist whatever facts are at hand into the manner most favorable to them. That’s a slippery slope. That’s why words like “oily” and “sleazy” are so popular when describing lawyers, and why jokes that involve lawyers at the bottom of the ocean as shark food are so popular. The problem is that as long as you never step right over the line into lying, none of this is against legal ethics. I’m not sure how to fix this exactly. Perhaps continuing legal education needs to focus on the limits of “zealous representation.” Or perhaps every lawyer needs to be on watch to not lose their soul. There are so many excellent lawyers that none of this applies to, but there are just as many who have no problem going into total sleaze-mode to win for their client. But then everything they do in life becomes sleaze-mode, and they harm themselves, their families and society as a result. It’s a large-scale problem. Think of this: “It depends of what the meaning of “is” is.” -Slick Willard

@haluk_ozdil First, this isn’t the Gerald Ford. Second, this is file footage of firefighter training on a decommissioned carrier.

Gerald Ford uçak gemisi böyle yanmış. ABD, yangının çamaşırhane çıktığını iddia ediyor. Bu nasıl çamaşırhane? 337 metrelik geminin altını kaplamış, heryeri yanıyor. 200 asker yaralı, hiçbiri güverteye çıkmayı akıl edememiş mi? "Vurulduk" demek bu kadar mı zor?

I see you are still lying. From the bill text (e.g., versions like H.R. 22 in the 119th Congress and earlier H.R. 8281): Acceptable forms of proof include: • A REAL ID-compliant ID that indicates U.S. citizenship. • A valid U.S. passport. • The applicant’s official United States military identification card, together with a United States military record of service showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States. • Certain other government-issued IDs showing place of birth, or combinations with additional documents.

I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base. Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.

@donwinslow Simple - they have all been overrun by Islamists and don’t want to deal with the terrorists’ attacks at home. In other words, they are cowards.

Dear MAGA, If Donald Trump is so respected around the world, why has every major world leader said no to helping him protect the The Strait of Hormuz? They are all saying no to a clown. The world sees what you fail to see: Trump is a CLOWN.

CORRECTION: The SAVE America Act: 1. Removes illegal aliens from voter rolls. 2. Prevents voter fraud. 3. Ensures only American citizens register to vote. 4. Requires in-person registration—how is that controversial? 5. Ensures married women with different last names can still vote. And the vast majority of Americans support the SAVE America Act. So what’s the issue?

Kent was a conflicted mentally damaged Veteran in over his head. The President showed compassion by offering him a job he wasn’t capable or qualified to handle. Instead of refusing the job, he accepted and then proceeded to flip on issues he was never supposed to discuss. He rage quit and took a conflicting swing at the President, a childish attitude to cover his short comings. Kent was a Democrat, switched to run for congress and lost. He doesn’t know how he is anymore. This is classical PTSD and MTBI. He is deserving of our pity, but not without pointing to his flaws. Kent opened the door to criticism when he bit the hand of compassion.

You know MAGA is dead when the president calls Joe Kent “weak” a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret with 11 combat deployments, including Iraq, and a Gold Star husband whose wife died in Syria serving our country. while he calls Mark Levin a “great American patriot.” a unhinged, lunatic, genocide denier, who calls Catholic women “POS” Trump destroyed MAGA.

@WellsJorda89710 He is using the same rejected fringe talking points from 10 years ago that were all based on the environmentalists’ lies.

🚨 Texas Dem Senate nominee James Talarico: "It is existential to reduce eating meat to fight climate change" Bro thinks he can win in TEXAS by telling people to ditch brisket, ribs, and burgers. This is the same level of delusion as running anti-gun in Georgia. 😂🤠 Good luck, buddy. The only thing existential here is your campaign's life expectancy. #TexasStrong #KeepTexasRed #DemocratDelusion #MeatIsLife #ClimateHoax #MAGA2026 #TexasPolitics

You are lying. No, the U.S. is not blocking humanitarian aid to Cuba. In fact, recent U.S. policy under the current administration has actively provided and announced additional humanitarian assistance directly to the Cuban people, particularly in response to crises like the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa and the broader humanitarian situation. Key details from official U.S. sources and reports: • In January 2026, the U.S. delivered $3 million in disaster relief aid (food and supplies) to affected areas in Cuba, distributed via charter flights and bypassing government channels to avoid interference. • On February 5, 2026, the State Department announced an additional $6 million in direct humanitarian support, bringing the total to $9 million since late 2025. This aid is delivered through partnerships with the Catholic Church and local parishes in Cuba to ensure it reaches individuals and families without diversion by the Cuban government. • U.S. officials have emphasized readiness to provide more aid if needed, while monitoring for any regime interference.

The US is now blocking humanitarian aid to Cuba. What tf is wrong with US????

@SenMarkKelly That’s BS. The bill specifically mentions those forms of identification as being illegal for voting.

The SAVE America Act doesn’t “Save” America. And this isn’t about voter ID. This bill requires everyone to re-register to vote in person and your driver’s license, REAL ID, or military ID aren’t even good enough. Imagine all of our seniors who don’t have valid passports and haven’t seen their birth certificates in decades? What about them? How hard will it be for them to register? And how do they get a passport if they can’t find their birth certificates? And what about the cost? If this becomes law, it will disenfranchise many Americans.
