Utah's next Governor opposes the SAVE America Act. This is a crisis in Utah, and all red states. They will all be California within 5 years unless YOU - yes all of you who are obsessed with blue states - get involved and remove the rot.

DOGE claimed $215 billion in savings. The media declared it dead. Both things are true, and neither tells the full story. @Heminator spoke with @SamCorcos on what DOGE is actually doing now, the bureaucrats standing in its way, and why the career civil service staff who hold the keys to policy implementation so rarely give them up. Read only in @TheAmMind

DOGE isn't dead. @Heminator talks to Treasury CIO Sam Corcos, who has "personal line of sight on $500 billion in provable fraud and improper payments" and says things that would normally take years are now getting done in days.

Had a conversation with a young MAGA man who is depressed about the war and Trump’s lack of progress on many fronts. I understand the disappointment but not the desperation. America is great despite what happens in DC, not because of it. That’s why the Marshall Plan was a success and Democracy Building was an epic disaster. In the first we gave our economic and work model, in the second our governance model. Trump could get absolutely nothing done and we would be OK. What will kill America is millions of people flooding in while trillions of dollars floods out. That’s why the Biden Democrats were so dangerous. Well that and the marxism. I care a lot more about the $2 trillion of DOT cash that mysteriously disappeared under @PeteButtigieg than whatever the heck we are doing in Iran. Personally I’m not thrilled we are back in the Middle East, but I’m going to be absolutely livid if we start airlifting in gold bars and pallets of cash like Bush and Obama did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

@AndrewDesiderio @PunchbowlNews @emilyjashinsky @Punchbowl Punchbowl is Thunebowl. Not only does Thune receive tons of money from their sponsors, Thune also is by and far their most prominently featured Congress member. Pass it on. x.com/DataRepublican…
DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublican

@PunchbowlNews @LeaderJohnThune @AndrewDesiderio Punchbowl, would you like to explain why @LeaderJohnThune has been by and far your most featured Congressional member over the last year? Beating out the #2 contender, Chuck Schumer, by more than twice as much.

Hello ANDREW....
DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublican

Hello Mr. Desiderio, I assume you have seen my posts this morning and have chosen not to respond. The issues are straightforward. 1. Punchbowl’s business model relies on “sponsors” who pay for privileged access to policymakers. 2. A significant portion of those sponsors are also major donors to Senator Thune, totaling roughly $1.2 million. 3. Over the past year, Punchbowl has featured Senator John Thune more prominently than any other member of Congress. Taken together, these facts raise a serious question: whether Senator Thune functions, in effect, as a paid influencer within Punchbowl’s ecosystem. There is more. That includes your article attempting to discredit @StevenPSchrage’s internal investigation into foreign influence surrounding the Helsinki Commission. I am currently obtaining your employer’s pricing sheets. You are welcome to respond.

Jacktron@jacktronprime·
DataRepublican @DataRepublican has created a diagram that demonstrates the as so why thune is blocking the SAVE act. The cycle begins where Punchbowl News receives $9 million annually from corporate sponsors like Goldman Sachs and Chevron, granting them exclusive access to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, whose campaigns receive $1.18 million in PAC donations from those same sponsors, enabling Thune to block the SAVE America Act requiring citizenship proof for federal voter registration. Punchbowl News, a Capitol Hill newsletter founded in 2020, derives 90% of its $10 million first-year revenue from corporate sponsorships providing policy messaging access, as admitted by co-founder Jake Sherman. Thune is controlled by lobbyists who don’t want the SAVE ACT passed for whatever reason and that’s why he won’t dump the filibuster.

The Questionable Gardner@T_Q_Gardner·
Starting to look like an end around the whole lobbying system and the laws put in place to prevent it. If you can’t lobby directly, then manipulate the news. Or is both happening?
bitchuneedsoap@bitchuneedsoap

Punchbowl News, DC's "must-read" newsletter for lawmakers, took sponsorship money from Alibaba while Congress debated China policy. Alibaba is CCP-controlled, spent $2.5M lobbying trade bills, and was forced by Beijing to divest media holdings in 2021 for "too much influence." Punchbowl took the checks anyway. This is corruption.

Everyone please follow @emilyjashinsky . She tried to expose Punchbowl last year, and she got a lot of blowback for it. The least we can do is follow her.
Emily Jashinsky@emilyjashinsky

Breaking Points got ahold of a leaked pitch deck from Punchbowl News. The document reveals how they allow corporations to buy influence over editorial decisions. WH told us several subscriptions were canceled by the Trump admin as well. We also have their numbers: They’ve charged corporate sponsors $210,000 for a week of email ads. You can see the pricing sheet, with subscriber numbers and open rates below. Watch the full report, with much, much more: youtu.be/jl1APeD9hSo?si…

Congress employs roughly 18,500 staffers. If each of them opens the Punchbowl newsletter three to four times per week, that alone produces around 65,000 impressions. The implication: Punchbowl’s core audience is Congress itself. That suggests a circular model: 1. Sponsors purchase advertising in Punchbowl News. 2. Punchbowl maintains direct access to Senator Thune. 3. Senator Thune advances priorities aligned with those sponsors, validating the value of their advertising. 4. Sponsors then donate to Senator Thune and other members of Congress through PACs. 5. The cycle repeats. A similar dynamic happens around Axios and Politico Playbook. And no lectures on "this is how it's always worked in DC." This, right there, is why DC is a failure.

The élites, emphasis on the é, won't have their weekends spoiled on account of Iran's erratic collapse, just so you're aware. They'll start thinking about it on Monday, thanks.
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen

Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.

Excellent article from our digital hero, @AsraNomani . So honored to call her friend. This details the theology behind Iran’s regime. It’s not all that dissimilar from Marxism, in a way. No wonder groups such as CODEPINK have ties with Iran’s officials.

Working on a write-up. Whatever your feelings on the Iranian strikes are... Note that the "our democracy" crowd who has interfered in hundreds of elections around the globe and waged endless wars is opposing the removal of Ali Khamenei, whose regime massacred 36,500 people. The "rules-based international order" doesn't actually care about democracy. They had a system with Khamenei. They knew what he wanted: sanctions relief, recognition, a nuclear deal, regional influence. Their entire identity depends on existing power over those channels. Their track record in creating actual democracies is awful. But they sure do have a good track record in installing NGOs that waste endless amounts of money on "democracy." Oh, by the way, @anneapplebaum is one of the architects behind the "Soul of the Nation" Biden speech which labeled half of America as threats to the Republic.
The Atlantic@TheAtlantic

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/02/…
