Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028 "I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism" "We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back." "I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."

Leader Thune has yet to explain why he's blocking the SAVE America Act and why he is refusing to allow President Trump to make recess appointments.

Every American needs to see this. 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman was brutally murdered in Chicago — just blocks from her college dorm — by an illegal alien who should never have been here. At 1:30 a.m., while watching the northern lights near Lake Michigan, a masked gunman opened fire. Sheridan warned her friends and ran — only making it about 40 feet before she was shot in the back and killed in cold blood. Her devastated parents are calling it what it is: "It was a preventable murder." The killer was released into the U.S. under Biden, arrested for shoplifting in sanctuary Chicago, released without notifying ICE, and then skipped court. Her father demands accountability: "When someone commits a crime and they've been here illegally, there needs to be cooperation... He should've been handed over to the feds." Open borders and sanctuary policies killed Sheridan Gorman. This is the human cost of failed leadership.
