I am one of the few members of Congress who has actually passed a voter ID law (on a bipartisan basis), which I did as Speaker of the House in North Carolina, and that’s why I proudly co-sponsored the SAVE Act. While I support strengthening mail-in ballot integrity, many states like Utah, Florida, Alaska, and Montana rely on the use of mail-in ballots to conduct their elections, and we should not be completely upending how states already securely conduct their elections. Even if this issue is fixed, the SAVE America Act still will not have the 60 votes required to pass it. While the so-called ‘talking filibuster’ has been floated as an option, there is a reason why previous attempts to utilize it in recent history have failed. A ‘talking filibuster’ would effectively make Chuck Schumer the new Senate Majority Leader, allowing Democrats to block every single Trump judge and executive branch nominee, and allow them to force endless votes on anything they want. Democrats would control the floor of the U.S. Senate until the end of the year. There are only two ways out of a ‘talking filibuster.’ The first is for Democrats to miraculously give up and allow Republicans to pass the bill with a simple majority. That is never going to happen, and anyone who claims it’s even a remote possibility is either completely misinformed or intentionally misleading the American people. The second way is for Republicans to substantially weaken or eliminate the filibuster altogether. I have made it crystal clear that I will never vote to do this. Eliminating the filibuster is a foolish and lazy idea pushed by politicians seeking short-term gain at the expense of causing irreparable long-term harm to our nation. Succeeding in eliminating the filibuster would significantly weaken the minority party, end the need for bipartisan compromise, and allow erratic swings in policy that would transform America for the worse. Those are just the consequences of a best-case outcome. During the last Congress, all of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures.

Nuggets fans tune into BYU-Texas tonight. Dailyn Swain vs AJ Dybantsa. Swain could be an option for DEN in the 2026 Draft (especially if Watson walks in FA). Much improved shooter, dynamic slasher reaching the paint for a wing, and versatile defensively

@NBABlackburn Unfortunately or fortunately there’s always a logical (not convenient) excuse. So it’s really really difficult to gauge his coaching this year. End of game execution though, is easy to analyze.

@NBABlackburn Adelman has some issues, not sure it’s “elephant in the room “ level yet, but Im thinking it’s bigger than we think.

Obviously they coulda used Aaron Gordon, but brutal SEGABABA's are when 10+ year vets are supposed to rest anyway, especially if there are short/long term injury concerns. I have ZERO problem with one starter resting. They just have to play more than 7 guys in the 2nd half.

@Microinteracti1 @CardilloSamuel Then why are u not verifying begging posts?

@CardilloSamuel Yes. They are for sure putting thing out there.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@beast7326 @TOUGHTlME Yea he needs to buy a juggs machine lol

@TOUGHTlME how many would be ints did hufanga drop. he has shit hands. guy is always around ball. just cant catch it. which i dont mind in my s. as long as around ball making plays i am good. just wish he had better hands.

it should have been a pick six on his first pass play btw, just a horrendous drop by hufanga

@Robby_NFL Now imagine a double move later in game out of same look-TD

@Robby_NFL Thats beautiful

Waddle running an outside breaking route on third down against outside leverage. Squares the DB after making him turn his hips and beats him to his mark.

@MikesMajorTakes I was thinking same. Dhit Zeke could have been used for energy, Murray & Jokic hadnone

Why tf would Adelman play only 7 guys for the majority of this game on a b2b vs such a bad opponent. Pickett, Strawther, maybe even Jonas should have all gotten more run. This team is so annoying and Adelman has coached this team into 5 more losses than they should have. Pathetic

Jokić's carelessness with the ball since returning from injury has been jarring. He's averaging 4.5 turnovers in that stretch.

Ok so Markwayne has told me directly that he has done “some private security work” oversees in the wars. And implied real combat He needs to prove it or admit it was made up. I’m starting to wonder if it was ALL untrue. it’s NOT classified

@NuggetsLead I kinda feel this is a game where Adelman could have rested Jokic & Murray & it would have been much higher energy. Pickett & Naji & Tyus could have brought more energy & precision

Nuggets had four starters in double figures and lost to the Grizzlies... what is to blame for the loss tonight??

I’ll take “things that 100 percent never happened” for 1000 Alex. I know of not a single member of congress who has ever done a top secret mission o official business. And I was on energy and commerce. NEVER HAPPENED

Among veterans, there’s a pretty well-known rule: when someone starts bragging about all the “crazy” shit they’ve done, but the moment you ask for details, they hide behind, “It’s classified, I can’t talk about it,” they’re usually full of shit. Markwayne Mullin is full of shit.

This Is the game that swung me. I don't think this Nuggets team will become what I thought they'd be. Poor discipline, leadership, toughness. All the potential to be special but something is off if you can't win against a team trying to lose when your season is on the line

Republicans want you to believe that the threat of noncitizens voting is so great that it justifies disenfranchising millions of eligible voters who do not have a birth certificate or a passport.. The Facts: 1 noncitizen is caught trying to vote for every 15,000,000 votes cast.

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.

You wanna rip the GOP apart right to its core and prevent a single America First voter from participating in the midterms? Indict Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson. See how that works out.

100000%

The older I get the more I just love bed... Making my bed, changing my bed, thinking about bed, looking forward to bed, routine before bed, being on bed, getting in bed, reading in bed, writing in bed, thinking in bed, sleeping in bed, there is just nothing better than bed.
