The 14th Amendment was never meant to be a loophole.
I introduced a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Here's why it matters:
🇺🇸 Legal immigration built this country
🚨 Open borders have been exploited for too long
✅ Only children of citizens and legal residents should receive automatic citizenship

They'll pretend that a few speeches Hillary Clinton gave are equivalent to the all-out assault on the 2020 election Trump has waged for 6 years.
A HRC speech is somehow equivalent to a violent mob attacking the Capitol & the thousands of lies Trump has told regularly since.

Joe Rogan: "They'll pretend that Hillary Clinton didn't do multiple speeches where she said that the election was stolen, Russia stole the election, with no evidence. But when [Trump] questions the election, it's a threat to democracy."

@Logically_JC @Fievel131 Forget impeachment.
Forget 25th.
Forget Trump’s mental & physical health.
Forget his compulsive lying.
Forget his bullying & incivility.
Forget his unfitness for offense.
Forget fringe issues focused on the extreme of either party.
Focus on people, their problems & fixing them.
English
@Logically_JC @Fievel131 1. Economy: Wages stagnant, inflation is up, gas prices are way up. Americans are hurting as a direct result of Trump/GOP policies & GOP is out of touch w/o a plan.
2. Corruption: During this economic pain the Trump Family & chosen friends are taking in billions.

Republicans have been an unmitigated disaster, and things are undeniably worse now than they were three years ago.
We can’t mess this up in November.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Democrats & Republicans are now dead even in the odds to take the Senate at midterms.
English
@NewReaganCaucus The stench of the Trump administration will probably be too great for any current cabinet member. Trump will also likely throw Rubio under the bus at some point (it’s what he does).
The best option for 2028 is likely someone outside government now (Haley? or a governor?).
English
Democrats are very scared of Rubio gaining the nomination.
Prepare for a lot of takes that he's actually worse than Vance.
Pro-America | Politics & Markets@Pro__Trading
I am becoming of the opinion that Marco Rubio would be harder for the Democrats to beat in 2028 than Jd Vance. I like both men and I will vote for whoever wins the primary. But, Rubio's combination of experience and respectability makes him a very hard target for the Democrats. There's almost no opposition research that would work against Rubio. Most attacks would bounce right off him.

@TJNNJ1959 @allenanalysis No. These are not complicated Constitutional or legal questions or cases involving complicated facts.
English
@EdgeMidwest @allenanalysis One is section one of Article 2 and the other is an amendment from 1951…both are obvious answers but again, there is nothing wrong with saying you would need to review it, though he should have answered …no, but I would need to review it.
English
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?
Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”
Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.
Silence.
Every single one of them refused to say it.
Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.
Never stop connecting the dots.
English
@TJNNJ1959 @allenanalysis If a nominee was asked, “Do you need to be a natural born citizen to be eligible for POTUS?” Should they be able to answer without reviewing the Constitution & amendments?
English
@allenanalysis Any judge who would answer that question without reviewing the text of the constitution and amendments, shouldn’t be a judge and the only people who have to do that are SC Justices.

RFK Jr caught a starling at the Dulles Airport today. I don’t want to know what happened after.

@JustinWStapley The Senate also balances the power of small states.
I agree with you, but there is no way Wyoming would be better off not in the USA.
English
Under the Electoral College, the President is elected by the states and it is the states who choose to run popular elections to select electors. This is actually an integral part of the longevity of the union, because the great compromise ensures that small states are not subsumed by a national policy driven be the population advantage of large states. Remove this framework and why would a state like Wyoming stick around and be dictated to by a government that only represents the coastal enclaves?

@RachelBitecofer Keep it Simple:
1. The economy stupid. Wages stagnant, inflation is up, gas prices are way up. Americans are hurting. Direct result of Trump/GOP policies.
2. Corruption. During this economic pain the Trump Family & chosen friends are taking in billions.
Nothing else matters.

It’s fun watching Democrats piss away the senate majority while the rest of us are facing down fascist autocracy.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans' odds to flipping the Michigan US Senate seat JUMP OVERNIGHT. Michigan - 2026 US Senate 🟥Mike Rogers 44.3% (+3.7) 🟦Abdul El-Sayed 40.6% Polling average via Pollsmax.com. Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic frontrunner, and compared to his primary opponents—Mallory McMorrow and Haley Stevens—he performs by far the worst against Mike Rogers. If El-Sayed ends up being the nominee, Republicans will be the heavy favorites to flip Michigan's US Senate seat later this year.

@RepJackKimble I still remember how nervous I was the first time I used my fake ID to buy groceries.*
*groceries - old fashioned word for groceries.

I still remember when I was in college and I got a fake ID so I could eat at Denny’s

@FrankLuntz Impossible to know. He would have lost 2016 & who knows what happens after that.

If we did this, the President of the United States would currently be Donald Trump.

@SarahLongwell25 @mirandamuseum “Trump knew where the servile cowards lived.”
Apparently it’s within the GOP, particularly at the leadership level.
English
Donald Trump has a bully’s instinct for identifying weak men. Men who will fall to knees and choose humiliation over taking the hit to stand on principle. Cruz, Rubio, Graham, Vance, Mike Johnson, Kevin McCarthy. Trump knew where the servile cowards lived.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
Ted Cruz, 10 years ago today: “I want to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar...He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth…The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen”

@LineRicky @OleTimeHardball “made the All-Star team at 5 positions”
Only one to do it & it’s vastly underrated.
The Big Red Machine was assembled through trades & this was made possible (in part) because Pete Rose was willing to play any position.
English
@OleTimeHardball Comical. The guy with the most hits ever in baseball, who also played in the most wins in history and also made the All-Star team at 5 positions is overrated?
Winning is important.
Hitting is critical.
All-Star teams are validating.

@AnnCoulter @TPBlue4 It was right-wing media who justified, ignored, & excused Trump’s ignorance, arrogance, & incompetence for a decade that led to his election.
Thanks! @AnnCoulter

It was high fuel costs that was the final death knell for Spirit -- caused by a pointless war that has left everyone worse off.
Yogi@Houseofyogi
Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@MollyJongFast Yes, but if the GOP keeps arguing it was worse under Biden & the economy is doing great, I’m sure it will work out for them.

@JamesSurowiecki The chance that MAGA will see this obvious lie in a negative light: approximately 0%.
The chance that MAGA will actually see this obvious lie through their news/media sources: approximately 0%.

The chance that Trump could do this calculation in his head is approximately 0%.
