@SenRonJohnson @DHSgov

Time to recognize reality — Democrats will never take yes for an answer. Stop trying to negotiate with them, and begin the Reconciliation Appropriation Process to fund @DHSgov for multiple years. And do not fund ANY Democrat priorities!!!!

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

James Carville EXPLODING on Trump is a must watch today. His point is this. Millions of Americans aren’t “afflicted” with Trump Derangement syndrome. They are blessed with it: “Look, you fat f*ck Trump — if you listen to this, you listen good! I got Trump Derangement Syndrome. I hate the motherf*cker! And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better! I want to get WORSE! I want to hate him MORE!" "I pray to God in heaven: God, reign the righteous reign of Trump Derangement Syndrome on me. Pray for me, Lord. I'm your vessel on this earth." "Pray for the people that listen to this. We want MORE! We want to HATE the son of a b*tch so much that we can't see straight!"

@PeteHegseth @POTUS @VP Who is the loser in the baseball cap?

Heroes. Forever. 🇺🇸

@SenRonJohnson @DHSgov If you'd have spent the money for Immigration Courts in 2021, you wouldn't need funding for a brute squad now.

It is unconscionable that Democrats are blocking funding for @DHSgov at a time of heightened national security concerns. What’s even more galling is that they created this mess — their open-border policies led to a surge in illegal immigration. Instead of helping to clean up their messes, they are sabotaging @POTUS’ efforts to do so.

@skibbersson @keystotheinner @RAF_Luton What in cornbread hell is this, now?

@keystotheinner @RAF_Luton It's jump jet fanny

It brings me no joy to say this but given the presidents shocking announcement that the Supreme Court is compromised by foreign interests, the next president will have no choice but to replace all 9 members with new justices who have no foreign entanglements.

New Data Centers in Wisconsin mean: • New property tax revenue supporting schools, roads, and public safety • Thousands of labor construction jobs • Long-term technical and operations careers • Electrical grid upgrades that strengthen reliability for everyone These projects are being built with local oversight and long-term community impact in mind. It’s okay to have questions — but it’s also important to look at the full picture. For Wisconsin communities, data centers mean steady investment, stronger infrastructure, and long-term economic stability.

Hell of an ad from @JanetMillsforME.

@ScottWalker Stricter ID laws make voting hard for some. In Wisconsin, that can make a difference - The Daily Cardinal share.google/gaZdSb3vgRYwNp…

Yes! I signed it when I was Governor of Wisconsin. Then voters approved it by a wide margin in our state constitution. It is widely popular with the people of America too. Let’s get it done!

Alliant Energy is moving forward with its proposed $730 million Columbia Wind Project in Columbia County. The project entails a large-scale wind farm just outside of Madison that the utility says will play a major role in meeting Wisconsin’s future energy needs. The Columbia Wind Project will become one of the largest wind farms in the state. The project represents a significant step in Wisconsin’s ongoing energy transition. badgerherald.com/news/2026/02/0…

BREAKING: Trump‘s MAGA execs pop champagne and run up MASSIVE expenses at the Kennedy Center while artists and staff panic over their jobs. As musicians and stagehands at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts wonder whether they’ll even have jobs after Donald Trump abruptly shut the place down for two years, Trump-aligned insiders have been living it up like it’s the Ritz — on the public’s dime. Newly exposed receipts show senior MAGA-installed executives running up thousands of dollars in champagne, fine dining, and luxury hotels as attendance cratered and the institution slid toward chaos. One jaw-dropping tab totaled nearly $11,000 for meals featuring $175 bottles of Veuve Clicquot, shrimp cocktails, racks of lamb, Hendrick’s gin, and Negronis. Picking up the check? The Kennedy Center. Among the names on that boozy bill: Nick Meade, a former aide to Kennedy Center interim president Ric Grenell, now installed as VP of governance; Rick Louhery, the Center’s EVP; and marketing chief Taylor Strand. And the indulgence didn’t stop at dinner. The Center reportedly paid $740 for Meade’s birthday celebration, shelled out $4,000 for a “Chinese Buffets for the Ambassador,” and ran multiple invoices for “champagne services.” There was even a $400 delivery of bottled water for the so-called “Israeli Lounge.” Then came the lodging spree. Roughly $30,000 went to luxury stays at the Watergate Hotel, where rooms can run up to $700 a night — or $1,600 if you want the infamous “Scandal Room.” Executives and Grenell associates checked in while staff were left completely in the dark about layoffs, cancellations, or refunds. Meanwhile, leadership launched a last-minute membership blitz, urging Americans to renew memberships costing up to $25,000, promising a bright future — all while refusing to answer basic questions about whether the doors would even reopen. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, an ex-officio member of the Kennedy Center board, is now investigating the spending, accusing Trump of turning the Kennedy Center into a “clubhouse for his pals.” The contrast couldn’t be starker: Workers get silence. Members get billed. Execs get champagne. And Trump calls it “renovation” while America’s cultural crown jewel is stripped for parts. Please like and share to spread the news of this massive scandal.

Remember when @TomTiffanyWI was one of only 18 representatives (and the only one from WI) who voted against a bipartisan measure to condemn QAnon—the online, far-right, pro-Trump movement—and reject the conspiracy theories it promoted? Too extreme for WI. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/wiscons…
