Democrats have expressed an intention to abolish the filibuster in the future. But Republicans won't even use existing rules in the Senate to protect the integrity of our elections. Which party is serious about power?

2/ Wallner reveals the mechanism: Senate Republicans can enforce Rule XIX—the two-speech rule—and continuous session to exhaust Democratic speakers. The filibuster is not a veto—it ends through endurance.

The SAVE America Act standoff isn’t legislative gridlock—it’s political theater in our cold civil war. Republicans hold the tools to end the Dem filibuster w/o 60 votes. Yet they choose performance over power. @jameswallner cuts through the stagecraft: tomklingenstein.com/the-save-ameri…

Illegal aliens interact with state agencies every day—taxes, hospitals, benefits. Red states sit on data that could transform deportation efforts. Why aren't they sharing it? Carter Stewart of the State Leadership Initiative explains: tomklingenstein.com/red-states-hol…

Anyone who says America is a racist country is a liar! I know what it's like to struggle. I know what it's like to not know where your next meal is coming from. But instead of being a victim, I worked hard and built a life for myself and my family. Only in America could somebody like me overcome those obstacles to become a State Rep. and candidate for Congress. I will never apologize for defending the American Dream. 🇺🇸

"America is irredeemably racist and must be destroyed" — that's our enemy's core claim, justifying everything the Left does. They know they're at war. The Right, including too many Republicans in Washington, accepts the premise and struggles to admit a war is happening. Why?

By recasting enforcement as cruelty and procedural restraint as justice, the Left seeks to transform the nation’s own moral inheritance into an instrument of paralysis. tomklingenstein.com/the-necessary-…

In moments of crisis, the institutions tasked with informing the public increasingly behave as political combatants: framing enforcement as oppression, depicting lawful authority as illegitimate, and worshiping agitation as moral heroism. tomklingenstein.com/features/enemi…

Republicans must give up on the idea that they can persuade the destructive Left (which controls the Dem party). Many on the Right will say we still need to make civil, compelling arguments. Of course we do — but let that not distract us from what we really need to do: fight.

America's own moral inheritance — due process, compassion, mercy — is being weaponized against it. The Left doesn't believe in these principles. It exploits them to make enforcement politically impossible. tomklingenstein.com/the-necessary-…
