@MikeMatousek2 @SenRickScott Orban was a Putin patsy and all who associated with him were tainted by the Kremlin.
But you go on supporting the Kremlin/Tehran/Beijing axis if you want.
English
@SenRickScott I’m shocked and disgusted that you’re celebrating the defeat of Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Hungary. Are you that ignorant of the geopolitical reality? President Trump is certainly aware. Orban is a conservative stalwart who courageously fought globalist forces.
English
Congratulations to Peter Magyar, the new Prime Minister of Hungary!
The Hungarian people have chosen freedom by rejecting Putin and standing with their western allies here in the United States and in Europe.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the U.S. and Hungary relationship. Together, America and Hungary can work together to build a STRONG, PROSPEROUS, and FREE future for both our countries. 🇺🇸 🇭🇺

@PAGOP McMahon should not be allowed anywhere near a facility that has children. Very disappointing to see that she was in a school-setting. “School choice” is just a ruse to funnel money to hyper right-wing schools and sharia law facilities.

🚨 Josh Shapiro: Turning His Back on PA Students 🚨
Linda McMahon visited Pennsylvania and delivered a clear message to Governor Shapiro: Pennsylvania can unlock massive federal funding for school choice right now.
Josh Shapiro just has to opt in.
Instead, he’s holding it up, putting politics ahead of real opportunities for students and families across the state.
This is about giving kids better options.
And right now, he’s saying no.

@RonDeSantis Meanwhile you parade around with Donald Trump, a man found liable at trial for sexual assault and who maintained close ties with many in the Epstein network.

The Democrat Party was aware of this guy’s behavior but never said anything until the party was threatened with getting shut out of the governor race.

@AGJamesUthmeier And the extraordinary high number of illegals in Florida will mean a reduction in Florida’s congressional delegation.
English
The Census was designed to ensure equal representation for citizens of the United States, not those who are here illegally or temporarily.
The way we count our population has a direct impact on how political power is distributed across the nation, and our state deserves an accurate count that ensures Floridians are represented fairly.

@biancoresearch If they dial back Trump’s daily makeup use, that should put a significant dent in daily petroleum consumption
English
Before the war, the world was producing about 100M barrels of oil a day, and consuming about 100M barrels of oil a day.
Now the world is producing somewhere between 85M and 90M barrels of oil a day. That means somebody has to stop consuming 10M to 15M barrels of oil a day. Economists call this demand destruction.
The market has a very efficient way to get to this reduced level of demand, it raises the price forcing marginal buyers to stop consuming oil.
But if government subsidize the current high price of oil, the demand does not change and the market price has to go higher in order to get that demand destruction.
I’m all in favor of lower oil prices like everybody else, but we’ve got a supply demand imbalance that needs to be brought into equilibrium.
So either open the Strait so we can get back to 100M of oil a day, or figure out another way to tell the equivalent of 10m to 15M barrels of oil a day that they cannot go to the gas station to fill up their car.

BREAKING: The oil market needs demand destruction; Germany has other plans. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that gasoline / diesel duties will be cut by 17 cents per liter for 2 months to cushion the impact of the US-Iran war.

@CPAC In CPAC’s terrible history, has there ever been a single candidate of any value or worth that you’ve supported?
English
CPAC is closely watching this very important election in Hungary today. We stand firmly with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian people as they vote.
We have proudly held CPAC Hungary five times, and each gathering has been wildly successful, bringing together conservatives from across Europe and the United States to champion sovereignty, family, and national identity.
President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp have all endorsed Prime Minister Orbán.
He is a true example of a leader with strong conservative values who has courageously stood up to elitists and globalists from the EU and beyond to protect what is right for his country.
We are with you, Hungary.

@PeterSchorschFL @RonDeSantis @TheMasters I’m sure he paid for them. Probably withdrew the funds from an account for foster children or education. I don’t think he much cares where he takes it from.

@BethMason1330 @JamesMartinSJ We haven’t heard or seen a denial from the Cardinal or Vatican. This statement comes from an American official who wasn’t involved.
English
@JamesMartinSJ I take the Cardinal at his word - he said it didn't happen. However, had he chosen not to speak on the matter, I would have no trouble believing it did happen. Such is the disrepute of this administration.
English
My take on the Hegseth-Pierre "controversy." First of all, who knows? So far, it's not an especially "well-sourced" story. Now, I have little doubt that some officials could have spoken bluntly, even rudely, to Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the former Vatican ambassador to the US, given the language that has come out of this administration and its response to Pope Leo XIV's repeated calls for peace. Did someone at the meeting mention, of all things, the Avignonese papacy? Who knows? It sounds like something that someone with a grudge against the church wished had been said to Cardinal Pierre. But I highly doubt that Cardinal Pierre, a smart man, a kind priest, and, above all, a consummate diplomat, will ever say anything about what was said on the record. Nor will the Holy See or the current nuncio. For good measure, having known a few Vatican ambassadors, or "nuncios," most would have just nodded, smiled politely and said, "Thank you very much. I will convey your concerns to the Holy Father." And remember: Vatican diplomats have been dealing with world leaders since at least the time of Charlemagne. Many in the diplomatic corps today have been posted to any number of countries and have dealt with officials from around the world. They're used to all sorts of rude comments and even veiled threats. So, given that we will probably never know what really happened, why not move on to more pressing matters: that is, Pope Leo's repeated calls for peace and reconciliation.
English
@hugo_rune3791 @JamesMartinSJ No he hasn’t. The Cardinal has declined to comment on multiple occasions. This statement is from someone who wasn’t involved.
English
@JamesMartinSJ Cardinal Pierre spoke on the record, and denied it.
English
@USinHolySee Will you release an official statement from the Cardinal? This is just hearsay from “Ambassador” Burch and we don’t know if he’s a reputable source.
English
The Cardinal emphatically denied the media’s portrayal of his meeting with Colby. He described the meeting as “frank, but very cordial” and a “normal encounter.” He confirmed that the reporting “does not reflect what happened” and was “just invented to make a story.” 2/4
English
Ambassador Burch spoke today with His Eminence Cardinal Pierre, the outgoing papal nuncio to the United States, regarding his January meeting with Under Secretary Elbridge Colby. 1/4
DOW Rapid Response@DOWResponse
Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby @USWPColby had a substantive, respectful, and professional meeting with Cardinal Pierre, the then-Papal Nuncio, and his team on January 22, 2026. During the cordial meeting, they discussed a range of topics, including issues of morality in foreign policy, the logic of the U.S. National Security Strategy, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and other topics. Cardinal Pierre expressed his appreciation for the outreach and both sides looked forward to continued open and respectful dialogue. In light of grossly false and distorted recent reporting, the Department of War repeats its statement: Recent reporting of the meeting is highly exaggerated and distorted. The meeting between Pentagon and Vatican officials was a respectful and reasonable discussion. We have nothing but the highest regard and welcome continued dialogue with the Holy See.

1. It was donated steel -- free of charge.
2. Who got the US Steel/Nippon deal done? Sure as hell wasn't you.
3. Go back to being Governor. This daily Presidential campaign by you is unfair to Pennsylvanians.
Governor Josh Shapiro@GovernorShapiro
President Trump’s use of foreign steel at the White House is a slap in the face to American steelmaking and the workers right here in Pennsylvania who power the industry. And he’s doing it as his tariffs are screwing over workers and driving up costs. The President should be putting American steel first.

@carlquintanilla @politico The Iranians are charging a fee that can be paid with USD1 which means that Donald Trump makes money on the transaction. Why isn’t every news outlet covering that?!?!?
English
@MilkRoadMacro If this is true, and the fee is roughly $2M, then Donald Trump earns $40k for each USD1 transaction.
English
AROUND 20 SHIPS HAVE CROSSED HORMUZ IN THE LAST 48 HOURS
Here's the current process to cross Hormuz:
1. Every oil tanker passing through must now email cargo details to Iranian authorities before transit.
2. They get a quote back of about $1 per barrel.
3. Payments are only allowed in Bitcoin, USDT or USD1.
Tankers with no cargo can pass Hormuz for free.
Here is Iran's main reason to use crypto:
They want to break out of the dollar system.
Although, it's quite ironic that they're accepting USD1 which is a Trump-backed USD stablecoin.
Milk Road Macro@MilkRoadMacro
CEASEFIRE IN PLACE BUT HORMUZ IS STILL QUIET Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is fully operational. But the data tells a different story. Traffic remains extremely low. Here's what's going on: Earlier plans suggested Iran and Oman would run a toll system charging up to $2M per vessel. But recent reports have just come in: Oman’s transport minister says no fees will be charged following new maritime agreements. The situation is still unclear. Currently, hundreds of vessel still remain stranded in the region: - 426 tankers - 34 LPG carriers - 19 LNG vessels Bottom line: The ceasefire may be in place but normal flow hasn’t returned. And until it does, energy markets stay on edge.

@SenMcCormickPA @POTUS Then why’d he make a deal to let them keep the uranium and drop sanctions?
English
Well said, Tom. Five presidents talked about it, but Donald Trump took action.
Like our other adversaries, the Iranian regime is learning that @POTUS means what he says.
No enriched uranium, no more bad deals, no nukes, period.
Tom Cotton@SenTomCotton
President Trump has always been crystal clear: there must be no uranium enrichment for Iran. And he’s absolutely right. That was a central flaw in Obama’s disastrous deal. Because the only reason Iran would demand to enrich uranium is to build a nuclear weapon.

@SenRickScott This doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because @JayCollinsFL and @JamesUthmeierFL and others like them undertook efforts to weaken Florida.
English
It’s concerning to see Florida losing so many private-sector jobs in today’s report. Florida must stay focused on creating an environment where our state remains the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family, and that starts with creating more jobs.
English
@Collinslayla @VoteAPL It’s rather unfortunate that the GOP primary is filled with these immoral freaks from top to bottom. Is there even a single candidate that’s worthy?
English
I completely agree with @VoteAPL. When I’m out talking to groups of Floridians, one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “how do we fix this.”
The answer is simple. Elect the man (or woman) that you’d be proud for your child to become.
- No more rules for thee, not for me
- Turning a blind eye to this type of behavior
Florida’s future generations deserve better 🇺🇸
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna@RepLuna
I am sick of serving in Congress with immoral freaks who abuse their office and bring dishonor to the institution. Congress is rotted to the core and it needs a complete overhaul. The American people deserve better than this.

@RepBrianMast Are you comfortable with President Trump surrendering the right of American ships to navigate international waters freely? Destroying a legacy that America has upheld since the @USMC went to the shores of Tripoli?
