@MarshaBlackburn A lot of guts trying gin up anything after the crappy job you did on Save Act and worthless funding bill. Please do better there is to much at stake

We just completed a productive education and workforce roundtable in Knox County with local leaders and educators. It was great to talk about how we can build Tennessee’s future workforce. Education professionals are also fired up about keeping men out of women’s sports!

@catturd2 What about presumed innocence? Did he confess? Come on Turd a little skepticism is OK

Breaking … I’m doing another one second must see series on who really killed Charlie Kirk. It’s free, it’s reality, it’s the truth, and you don’t have to pay me a dime. 👇👇👇 You’re welcome.

@AmericaPapaBear Schumer owns Thune....🤣

🚨BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson states that the House will not take up the Senate's DHS funding bill that doesn't include funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Johnson goes on to say that they will be voting for a 60-day continuing resolution that funds DHS in a whole. HOLD THE LINE MIKE!

@overton_news We have a MAJORITY in the Senate and this is the crap John Thune sends over? We are running out of words to describe the frustration. He was selected because of his weakness. It serves his bosses.

Mask off moment. Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess. Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media. JOHNSON: “This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE.” “I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.” “In section four…this is on page two of the bill….” “It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’” “We’re not doing that.”

@EricLDaugh The Senate is captured by weak spineless people. An embarrassment to anyone watching. Clone Mike Lee. Thune is indistinguishable from Collins or Murkowski... what a tool. the latest version of Paul Ryan

🚨 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson is reportedly HELLBENT on defeating the Senate's ridiculous DHS funding bill that excludes ICE, saying he refuses to set the precedent of allowing the minority party to hold the whole country for ransom... ..and then being rewarded for it. LFG!!!!

@RepEricBurlison @freedomcaucus So many self-appointed Patriots in the Senate are an embarrassment to the people who put their faith and trust in them. We didn't get in this bind because the place is full of Mike Lee's.

The Senate abdicated its responsibility. No funding for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which fights child sex trafficking. No funding for Border Patrol. No voter ID. Bad for America. Bad for Americans. Full @freedomcaucus press conference 👇

A hero or a complete loser. Those were the two possibilities. He made his choice. Not surprised one bit. He is a Paul Ryan, DC lifer, he has no clue what "We the People" are like. Headed home with a plan to block all of Trump's recess appointments. Thunes Republican party is very different from the one everyone else is in...

@MarshaBlackburn @realDonaldTrump We need more Mike Lee's. Why not you Mrs Blackburn?

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for always standing up for hardworking Americans despite the theatrics and America Last tactics that Democrats pull on our country.

@MarshaBlackburn Where are the Patriots? No SAVE ACT? Sorry a failure is a failure. You officially suck. I fear a storm is building...God help us all

78 of Tennessee’s 95 counties are rural, and we need to ensure these communities have quality access to health care. I'm backing three bills to fix Medicare's flawed wage index, expand urgent care access, and strengthen recruiting of health professionals. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/mar/…

Food for thought. On November 29, 1971, the world barely noticed when Iranian forces seized three specks of land at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz: Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb. For the UAE and many in the Gulf, this was never a technical border quarrel. It was an act of occupation and a permanent scar. Today, a comfortable consensus has formed in foreign-policy salons and on Wall Street that the Trump administration has no strategic vision for the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran is “winning” the confrontation in the Gulf by default. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is hard to believe how casually many of these critics ignore history, including the way control of financing, insurance, and maritime chokepoints has repeatedly reshaped great-power influence. Half a century after the shah’s grab, the question surrounding these islands is no longer simply “who owns them,” but “who secures the most critical chokepoint in the global oil trade.” With President Trump moving to provide American-backed insurance for ships transiting the Gulf, Washington is displacing the remnants of British dominance in maritime insurance and risk. Whoever insures the traffic does not just collect premiums; they hold a de facto veto over it and gain visibility into every meaningful cargo, what moves, in what volume, from where and to where. This emerging architecture gives the United States something London once enjoyed: an indirect presence in every Gulf port that depends on uninterrupted access to global insurance and reinsurance. The logical next step is geographic as well as financial. Returning Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb to the United Arab Emirates would not only correct a historical wrong against Arab inhabitants whose ties to these islands long predate the shah’s gunboat diplomacy. It would also provide the legal and political foundation for a formal U.S.–UAE security arrangement on the islands themselves. Critics will bristle at the idea of a sustained American military presence on these rocks. But the alternative is not some neutral, demilitarized utopia. The alternative is that the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of the world’s seaborne oil flows, remains vulnerable to coercion, sabotage, and blockade. A long-term U.S. presence, at Emirati invitation, would anchor a security order built around free navigation, reliable energy flows, and clear red lines against maritime blackmail. This is not just about three islands. It is about restoring the principle that territory cannot be seized by surprise and held indefinitely by force, and about extending a coherent maritime strategy from Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb. If the United States is serious about securing the arteries of global trade for decades to come, then correcting the injustice of 1971 and placing these islands under Emirati sovereignty, with an American flag flying alongside the UAE’s in a carefully structured basing agreement, is not an overreach. IMHO, It is the minimum credible foundation for a stable Gulf and the clearest rebuttal yet to those who insist that America has no plan.

He’s a deceiver and a charlatan. He was never interested in passing the save act any more than he has interested helping support the vote of the people by allowing Trump to make recess appointments. He will be revised in history, much like Paul, Ryan, Romney, and other self-serving politicians

It feels like they didn't come to be American but for another reason....

@EricLDaugh Thune serves the status quo not the interests of the American People

🚨 WOW. Sen. Mike Lee is FURIOUS that Senate Democrats might be gifted a 2-week vacation as the reward for betraying America The GOP must cancel the recess! "EVERY TIME we allow Senate Democrats to do something horrible and then immediately leave town and take a recess, perhaps, I don't know, like a two-week recess with no repercussions, without having to work harder, without any kind of meaningful victory to push back on them, we reward that behavior!" "We guarantee it. We set it in stone. We encourage more of it in the future. This is very dangerous." "We're $39 trillion in debt because of this. They're stalling out the SAVE America Act because of this." "And the American people can't handle this anymore. So I think this is a terrible idea to continue to reward them, to coddle them, to allow the zombie filibuster to continue, not make them work for it, then let them go on a two-week vacation. Let me know if you agree."

🚨 CABINET MEETING SHOCKER 🚨

Pete Buttigieg allowed trucking schools to SELF-CERTIFY that they were qualified to train drivers!! @POTUS’ administration is ending the ROT and taking DANGEROUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKERS off the road 🚫🚛

SECRETARY RUBIO on the G7: I don’t work for France or Germany or Japan. I get along with all of them on a personal level and we work with those governments very carefully. But the people I'm interested in making happy are the people of the United States. I work for them.

@_BattleForTruth What is the goal of that statement by the Pope? Is it to please the Pope's view of the world? Or is it what Jesus would do?

Pope Leo congratulates Female Anglican Pro-LGBT, Pro-Abortion ‘Archbishop', with “May the Holy Spirit come down upon you and make you fruitful in the Lord's service.”, while the SSPX receive threat of excommunication for wanting to consecrate Catholic Bishops. Mind blowing.

@ExxAlerts It only makes it hard for cheater to cheat Fartman.

JUST IN: Rep. Eric Swalwell says banning mail-in voting will make it “really hard for women” to vote. “I don't want to give a penny more to TSA.”

BIDEN White House gave order NOT to enforce fraud allegations happening all over the country. Shocker. The reason they didn't investigate any fraud is because they were all involved, stealing tax payer dollars through front companies and NGOs. This is money laundering 101.
