@RepThomasMassie Thomas here is just deflecting from all the Islamist and Code Pink money he’s taking.

Congratulations AG Blanche. Now you have 30 days to release the rest of the files before becoming criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship. Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General. We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe.

@JonahDispatch She’s been far from perfect as AG, but all those people are criminals. I mean they have Keith Ellison ON TAPE committing bribery. Jonah and Kevin are just really pissed off about their buddy’s Bolton prosecution, who btw is 110% guilty as fuck.

Yeah I think serving his pregnant wife with divorce papers to marry a lobbyist and then fighting to keep the divorce records sealed is going to make that a difficult run

NEW: Sen. Ruben Gallego mulls a presidential race. He tells me after winning AZ in 2024: "We have to look at it." Supports U.S. $$ to Israel for defense: "I’ve seen civilians get hurt in war by both sides.” Opposes push to abolish ICE: "ridiculous." nbcnews.com/politics/2028-…

@varadmehta I’d swap Alaska and Iowa, the dem party in Iowa is a freak show, bordering Minnesotastan, they praised Luigi Mangioni who killed an Iowa boy Brian Thompson, Ian Roberts fiasco, Hinson is raising really good money, and for gov Rob Sand is just a weirdo.

NEW: ICE records show Iranian General Soleimani's niece, HAMIDEH SOLEIMANI AFSHAR, is now being held in ICE detention at ICE's South Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall, TX. ICE initially arrested her in Los Angeles. Her daughter, HOSSEINY SARINASADAT, is at the same facility.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@JonahDispatch No Jonah, the real problem with NATO is the endless hordes of evil Islamists they’ve imported for the last 20 years, they’re TERRIFIED of offending them.
English
I agree with some of this directionally, but my God the refusal to acknowledge that Trump has worked assiduously to poison the alliance and heap all the blame on Europe is just water-carrying hackery.
Saying "NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause" is like writing a movie review when you missed the first half of the movie.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@EdWhelanEPPC Ed here was asleep between 2017-2025 when the DOJ do everything they could fucking think of, KGB style, to put Trump in prison.
English
When Trump was elected to his second term, it was reasonable to hope that he would not use DOJ to pursue baseless criminal prosecutions of his political enemies. No one can harbor that hope any longer.
Ed Whelan@EdWhelanEPPC
Unfortunately, no one dedicated to the rule of law should have any interest in serving as Attorney General in this Administration.

@MarkKaboly Hell no to Cousins or Carr. Howard or Rudolph would get the same results as them. Rodgers was actually pretty good last year with absolute shit shit SHIT coaches, and a pretty damn bad supporting cast around him.
English
Kirk Cousins to the Raiders just removed the Steelers potential backup plan in case Aaron Rodgers doesn't re-sign with them. If, for some unforeseen reason, Rodgers doesn't return to the Steelers, it's going to be Will Howard/Mason Rudolph fighting for QB1.

@damintoell The law says it RIGHT THERE, “AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” These aliens are NOT U.S. subjects, it’s RIGHT FUCKING THERE!!! Why was the Native American citizenship act of 1924 necessary if this wasn’t the case??? It took an AFFIRMATIVE act of Congress for them.

"It is the law that governs, not the intent of the lawgiver. That seems to me the essence of the famous American ideal set forth in the Massachusetts constitution: A government of laws, not of men. Men may intend what they will; but it is only the laws that they enact which bind us."
Antonin Scalia, A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law (1997)

@JonahDispatch Where in the constitution is gay marriage??? NOWHERE!!!! Yet, dammit all, if this court didn’t just make it up.
English
My warm take on birthright citizenship:
Wholly defensible to be against it as policy and wholly reasonable to want to reform it in some way.
Also intellectually defensible to say that the 14th amendment is being misinterpreted. Doesn't mean I agree, but I don't think it's crazy either.
But even if you win that argument, you still need to deal with century+ of precedent and statutory language that codifies it and has created massive reliance interests.
I consider it an open question whether Congress can repeal or modify birthright citizenship.
I think it is absolutely nuts and dangerous to think a president can repeal it through executive order, and defending the E.O. because you agree with the underlying policy is itself indefensible.
That's it. That's my take.
English
@neoavatara It really is, but you’re just a foreign leftist, Roberts wants invites to DC cocktail parties, Barrett Souter and Kavanaugh succumbing to leftists threats to their lives, and Gorsuch is a kook libertarian like his old boss. Remind me where in the constitution gay marriage is??
English
@KurtSchlichter This whole issue is a bureaucratic fuck up from the Truman years by the Soc Security administration, illegitimate immigrants were not given birth certificates until then.
English
You guys understand we’re going to lose the birthright citizenship case, right?
Before you completely freak out, the traditional understanding of the 14th Amendment, which we are seeking to change, is not an insane reading of it. Nor are our arguments insane like the left has been same. That’s baloney to just shut us up. Neither side is frivolous.
It’s a tough call legally and objectively speaking. But when we lose it, and I think we will, don’t freak out that this is some sort of conspiracy. It’s a hard legal decision. Sadly, we have three judges who aren’t even going to try to examine the question and will always vote for what leftists want. But the rest of the court has to make a tough legal call.
I think our reading is the correct one. For various reasons, I think they’re going to rule against us. Don’t freak out when they do. It’s not an utterly irrational ruling like so many of the district court opinions we’ve seen.
English
@TonerousHyus He should just declare all immigrants “foreign diplomats”, so none of them are covered by the 14th.
English
Apparently the 14th amendment includes a right to gay marriage and a right for tourists in transit at an airport to have American children by mere coincidence of temporary location
I’m deeply skeptical either one is true

@TheRealBeliveau You’ve already handed this country over to the radical left, you just want to profit off our destruction while you can.
English
The conservative legal movement and originalism has been the strongest defense and offense for American conservatism. Undermining it would hand over the nation to the radical left and cement it for a century or more. That’s the definition of political stupidity.
Hampton Prescott@HamptonPrezcott
This is a line the Legal Right are loving, but ten years from now we’ll look back and determine that this was the moment that the rest of the Right decisively turns against Originalism (it was already becoming a shaky relationship)
