🚨 JUST IN: Senate Majority Leader John Thune CONFIRMS he is forcing the Senate to stay all weekend while the SAVE America Act debate continues and DHS remains shutdown "We're in through this weekend. There WILL be a vote on this bill, we will find out where everybody stands and Democrats will be held accountable for this position." The Senate must NOT leave town until the SAVE America Act is passed!

🚨 WOW! Sen. John Kennedy reveals he filed to block senators' pay during government shutdowns, but is still trying to get Leader Thune onboard It passed committee UNANIMOUSLY “I chased John like he stole Thanksgiving to get him to do it, he's not yet!"

It's crazy that IU Health, a NONPROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEM, spent more than $500,000 LOBBYING the Indiana legislature in 2025. Medical groups were by far the top lobbyists, but energy monopoly utilities, Casinos and DoorDash for some reason weren't far behind.

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the median cost of cars increased from $3,600 to $50,000, a 14x increase. The median cost of college increased from $2,900 a year to $45,000, a 16x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran’s new Supreme Leader just spoke, and it’s worse than I expected Key statements: - “All US bases should immediately be closed in the region, those bases will be attacked” - “We will obtain compensation from the enemy. If they refuse, we will take their assets to the extent we deem appropriate, and if that is not possible, we will destroy an equivalent amount of their property” - "We have foiled attempts to divide the country” - "The Strait of Hormuz must remain closed” - “Countries in the region must clarify their position regarding those who have aggressed against Iran” - "Discussions are ongoing regarding the opening of other fronts in areas where the enemy has little experience and is highly vulnerable. These other, new fronts may be activated if the state of war continues and if it is deemed appropriate” In brief: He is more hardline than his father, his demands from the U.S. are extensive, and he is ready (one could say he prefers) a prolonged war. Taking this statement at face value, things are about to escalate.
