➡️➡️ The New York Times and Trump-hating socialist Ro Khanna are both endorsing Thomas Massie — and that tells you everything you need to know about this race. They’ve joined Obama, Kamala, and Biden donors in a left-wing crusade to stop President Trump.

🚨 JUST IN: The unelected SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN has STRUCK DOWN major provisions of the GOP's ICE-CBP reconciliation funding bill This is RIDICULOUS! The parliamentarian has been a HUGE roadblock, even playing games with the Big Beautiful Bill last year Thune should've removed her a LONG time ago. Now, Republicans have to go back and fix: - CBP sections - Border security, tech and screening funds - Some $2.5B relating to Homeland Security Appropriations And then wait for her "green light" so it can pass with 50+1 votes.

Politico: Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), a senior House Democrat with close ties to top leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed carving up majority-minority districts to ensure Democratic redistricting gains ahead of the 2028 elections. politico.com/live-updates/2…




@BlakeKresses Anyone who loves the Constitution, honesty, and fiscal responsibility loves Thomas Massie.

🚨 Today the FBI and our partners extradited the highest ranking member of Tren de Aragua (TdA) ever brought to justice - Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, aka "Chuqui. Flores just arrived in Houston from Colombia this evening. This is the first time ever that a TdA member has been charged with terrorism-related crimes and been extradited to the U.S. - history made pursuant to President Trump’s executive order last summer designating Tren de Aragua as an FTO. Flores is charged with providing material support to TdA, a designated foreign terrorist organization, as well as with international drug distribution conspiracy. He is scheduled to make his federal court appearance Friday morning. Well done @FBIHouston and our partners at @TheJusticeDept @DAGToddBlanche. Outstanding work.




Next time Benny Johnson is speaking to young people at a Turning Point USA rally, everyone remember that Benny hates Thomas Massie, who younger voters love and support, and Benny Johnson loves MAGA Israel funded Ed Gallrein. Gen Z does not support our tax dollars going to Israel. But Benny Johnson viciously attacks, Thomas Massie, the only Republican who voted for my amendment to stop funding from being sent to Israel!!! The generational divide is real. And Benny Johnson’s dream is to be a Fox News anchor, next to Mark Levin, spoon feeding the boomers neocon establishment slop that is literally destroying the future of TPUSA’s targeted audience, Gen Z!!!


Younger GOP voters also don't like immigration enforcement as much as older GOP voters. Younger voters aren't even Massie's stronger supporters lol. Still about 40% of them would be backing Gallrein.



Every decade in modern American history can be identified and defined by its own style, its own approach to music, film, fashion, its own aesthetic. That seems to have stopped right around 2010. The 2010s don't really have their own unique feel, even in retrospect. The 2020s certainly don't. We're more than halfway through the decade. What are the movies, music, style, and trends that this decade will be remembered for? It's like we fell into some kind of cultural blackhole 15 years ago.

Why does left-wing media love Thomas Massie so much? I’ve never heard a Thomas Massie supporter answer this question.

There are several changes to the Immigration and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) that would need to be changed in order to help expand the punishing of businesses who hire illegals. The "Good Faith" I-9 Defense (8 U.S.C. §1324a(b)) needs to be narrowed. If an illegal provides basically any I-9, then the employer is given the benefit of the doubt that they committed the crime of hiring an illegal. In practice: -Employers are not required to verify authenticity -Even obviously suspicious documents are often enough -The burden shifts almost entirely onto DHS This is combined with the fact that employers who attempt to verify info on an I-9 with extra documents risk a discrimination lawsuit. Which just incentives the status quo of "just accept the I-9, we might get audited but its cheaper than a lawsuit". There is also the penalties in the IRCA. The punishment is slow. Stage 1: DHS gives a Notice of an Inspection, and tells the business to fix their documents within a few days, if done, zero punishment. Stage 2: If the hiring of illegals continue, AND the DHS can prove that the company is knowingly hiring illegals, then they can do a fine of roughly $5.5k/worker. (Which as long as you underpay the illegal by that much still means its fiscally beneficial) Stage 3: If it is found out you are hiring illegals again after Stage 2, the fine doubles. Once again probably fiscally beneficial. Stage 4: If it becomes a consistent pattern, and there is document fraud or tax fraud, or human trafficking involved, then you get a criminal charge, which involves a $3,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail, plus whatever else you are charged with. Often for most companies they probably at best, get to Stage 2, and just repeat Stage 2 a few times, as the I-9 defense plus any reasonable attempt to hide your knowledge of hiring illegals, prevents any further escalation. You needs to price out the illegals with much higher fines. There is also the Contractor & Subcontractor shielding, this is super popular in Construction. Let's say you are CEO of Building Inc, and you want cheaper work. Well find the subcontractor from Foundation Inc, they will pour the foundations of housing for 30% less because they hire illegals, but because you hired the company you are immune from any prosecution about illegals being on your job site. We can also expand I-9 audits. While they do not punish the employers as much, consistent I-9 audits do keep illegals off of payrolls, and limited to cash only businesses, which helps limits who is able to hire illegals. Now the issue with going full hostile to business owners who do this, is some surely do accidently hire illegals, this is from illegals stealing SSNs and using them to work, and we do not want to punish those people. So what can we do on that? Well we can expand E-Verify for all employers, and then make E-Verify even better, some examples should be E-Verify should flag SSNs being used in multiple states at the same time (it does not currently!) We also should open up the idea that companies are allowed to ask for more supporting documents to prove you are who you say you are, and not allow them to be punished for asking for extra documents to prove your I-9 info is correct.


Today is a good day to repeal Hart-Cellar
