BREAKING: Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called opposition candidate Péter Magyar to congratulate him on winning the election. Big win for Hungary, Europe, and the free world Everything Trump touches dies.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden administration policies or officials, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

#unpopularopinion I don't know if #Facebook and #YouTube are any more harmful and addictive than Pokémon cards, video games or children's breakfast cereal. Parents should take some responsibility here. cnb.cx/4tdGh0V

Just when you thought the GOP couldn’t be a more embarrassing cult, Speaker Mike Johnson presented Donald Trump with the “first-ever America First Award”: “We have created a new award. We are going to do something we’ve never done before. We will honor him with a new award… That’s a beautiful gold statue, appropriate for the new Golden Era in America.”

And @SenThomTillis and @TedBuddNC wonder why NC will go Democrat. It's because GOP families like mine are turning our backs on a Party that endorses low-class comments like this from our President. #ncpol

BREAKING: Robert Mueller, former FBI Director and Special Counsel, has died at 81. Trump immediately took to Truth Social to celebrate his death: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

@SenThomTillis In NC, a normal driver's license is all you need. This is much tougher. And one many rural, elderly people might not be able to meet.

I am one of the few members of Congress who has actually passed a voter ID law (on a bipartisan basis), which I did as Speaker of the House in North Carolina, and that’s why I proudly co-sponsored the SAVE Act. While I support strengthening mail-in ballot integrity, many states like Utah, Florida, Alaska, and Montana rely on the use of mail-in ballots to conduct their elections, and we should not be completely upending how states already securely conduct their elections. Even if this issue is fixed, the SAVE America Act still will not have the 60 votes required to pass it. While the so-called ‘talking filibuster’ has been floated as an option, there is a reason why previous attempts to utilize it in recent history have failed. A ‘talking filibuster’ would effectively make Chuck Schumer the new Senate Majority Leader, allowing Democrats to block every single Trump judge and executive branch nominee, and allow them to force endless votes on anything they want. Democrats would control the floor of the U.S. Senate until the end of the year. There are only two ways out of a ‘talking filibuster.’ The first is for Democrats to miraculously give up and allow Republicans to pass the bill with a simple majority. That is never going to happen, and anyone who claims it’s even a remote possibility is either completely misinformed or intentionally misleading the American people. The second way is for Republicans to substantially weaken or eliminate the filibuster altogether. I have made it crystal clear that I will never vote to do this. Eliminating the filibuster is a foolish and lazy idea pushed by politicians seeking short-term gain at the expense of causing irreparable long-term harm to our nation. Succeeding in eliminating the filibuster would significantly weaken the minority party, end the need for bipartisan compromise, and allow erratic swings in policy that would transform America for the worse. Those are just the consequences of a best-case outcome. During the last Congress, all of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures.

@whatleywarroom This life-long conservative Republican is voting for @RoyCooperNC. An ally for Trump? No thanks.

"This is a choice election. It's fundamentally going to come down to the question of whether the people of North Carolina want a conservative champion and ally for President Trump, or are they going to want a liberal who is going to vote every single time with Chuck Schumer and the other radical Democrats?" - @WhatleyNC

@SenTedBuddNC But a non-REAL driver's license will not be accepted. Today, that is accepted in NC. I'm sure many people in rural NC are walking around with their passports and birth certificates handy. SAVE needs to be voted down.

The SAVE America Act is straightforward legislation to safeguard America’s elections. Requiring photo ID to vote is common sense—and 85% of Americans agree. harvardharrispoll.com/press-release-…

@SenThomTillis You are right about this Powell investigation. Time for the DOJ to move on. They are only embarrassing themselves.

This ruling confirms just how weak and frivolous the criminal investigation of Chairman Powell is and it is nothing more than a failed attack on Fed independence. We all know how this is going to end and the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office should save itself further embarrassment and move on. Appealing the ruling will only delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair.

@RoyCooperNC I second that. Class of 1978. Go Knights.

As a proud graduate and former player at Northern Nash High School in Rocky Mount, I congratulate our Knights on their 6A North Carolina boys basketball state championship tonight!

Health care is broken in this country, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m ready to go to Washington to be an independent voice for North Carolina, focused on fixing the basics.

@PeteKaliner @yesnicksearcy Pete - I don't know. Plenty of Republicans (like me) will be voting for Cooper. I say this race will not be close.

@yesnicksearcy We need to get Democrats in NC to vote for this Green Party candidate for US Senate. I suspect he'll be very enticing to a large part of the Democrat base. This is my mission!

Actually, this is what a dangerously insane Democrat looks like.

We have a real opportunity to return our government in Washington to the people.

@PatMcCroryNC Pat - When you find the old GOP, let me know. In the meantime, I'm all-in for @RoyCooperNC.

We’re officially one week out from the NC Primary Election. I am ready to go to the Senate to fight to make the middle class achievable for more people, and I hope I have your support. Visit iwillvote.com to find your polling place and make a plan for March 3rd.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
