The vast majority of Congress are derelict in their duty to serve their constituents. If they show up for work, they do only what their donors allow them to do, then take a 4 day weekend, and collect their $177k/yr.
We are long overdue for an Article V Convention of states.

How did we get to be $39 trillion in debt? The zombie filibuster—coupled with a chronic unwillingness among senators to break through it by putting in the hard work—has contributed to it substantially. For decades, this dynamic has been giving Senate Democrats way too much power when it comes to spending bills—even when they’re in the minority. Spending bills in the Senate routinely get to 60 votes—regardless of who’s in the majority and who controls the House and the White House—with votes coming from (1) basically every Senate Democrat and (2) a much smaller group of Republicans (predominantly members of the Appropriations Committee), in many cases just a few more than whatever it takes to achieve cloture. As a result, disagreements on spending bills tend to be resolved by simply spending more—to give those voting for it what they need to vote for it. This is one of many reasons why I’ve been pushing so hard on the talking filibuster which, if fully utilized and given the time it needs to work, could help us pass the SAVE America Act. But the benefits wouldn’t end there, as they could help us avoid not only the kind of shutdown hell we’re now experiencing, but also rein in our debt and deficit—at least while Republicans are in charge. Share if you’d like to see the Senate use the talking filibuster—to fully fund DHS, to pass the SAVE America Act, to reduce spending, and otherwise!

.@TMZ making sure you saw Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders living large on his first class flight out of DC while he forces Americans to go without pay.

WOAH 🚨 JD Vance tells Nick Shirley that the policy right now is to NOT PROSECUTE FRAUD FOUND UNDER $1.5 MILLION
“Right now we don't even prosecute fraud that's under $1.5 million, which means there's a lot of fraudsters who never get caught, who never get punished”
He says this is changing

Warren Buffet: "I can end the deficit in five minutes. You juts pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."

This is an excellent explanation of the filibuster—and why it has evolved into such a problem that it must be addressed quickly and aggressively—from the great @CletaMitchell, a true gift to the conservative movement

There is a serious constitutional crisis when the legislative branch of the federal government is unable to legislate because of self-imposed ‘extra-constitutional’ rules and procedures. The Byrd Rule… named for a long-dead Democrat leader who appears to control the Senate from the grave. The filibuster rule that can’t work because of some long ago interpretation of the filibuster process. The question is whether the Senate leaders will continue to allow their foolish adherence to arcane rules and procedures to create this constitutional crisis. They say they won’t “nuke” the filibuster. But they also won’t overturn the long ago ruling by a parliamentarian who “interpreted” the 2-speech rule to mean the filibuster can never ever end. As we have had to learn more about the Senate rules, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Senate is refusing to protect the filibuster by overturning the interpretation that makes the filibuster impossible to end without a supermajority. That’s a constitutional crisis and rather than seriously address the issue and the procedures and the rules, the Senators left town. So disgraceful. We will know soon enough where these Senators went if they traveled during the recess. How many went on junkets. Who had fundraising trips. What they did rather than face their responsibilities. Like funding DHS. Like securing our elections. Like addressing this constitutional crisis they have allowed to take over the Senate and that they refuse to remedy. This is not what the voters bargained for. This irresponsible bunch of Senators who refuse to protect the Senate and ensure its ability to function to serve the people. They’re mad at @BasedMikeLee for calling this all into public view. On full display so we now see it - understand it. And hate it. But he’s not the problem. They just didn’t want the public to ever find out. But now we know. And we are disgusted. @EIwatchdogs @BasedMikeLee @chiproytx

Amy Larsen ran the PAC that sent out false and defamatory texts in 2024 falsely claiming that Sen. Tammy Nichols had once been arrested for felony check fraud.

We are happy with Speaker Mike Johnson.
We are NOT happy with Senate Majority Leader Thune.
The House is doing its job — the Senate is not doing its job.

🚨 John Thune is getting absolutely HAMMERED online
Senate Majority @LeaderJohnThune fled Washington right after ramming through a weak DHS funding bill that fully funds TSA but deliberately excludes ICE and CBP.
... and The SAVE America Act ignored.

Raise your hand if you think John Thune should be REMOVED from office

Just read an article in a famous periodical (I won't give them the satisfaction of naming them) about how the Democrats are going to take back the House in the midterms.
We absolutely cannot let that happen! Don't people remember the open borders? Don't people remember the 9% inflation? And if you are blaming President Trump for Iran, then you are not remembering that even the Democrats agreed that Iran was our biggest threat. We finally have a president willing to fix it.
And if you agree with this and are remotely considering a run in politics, whether it's dog-catcher or state senator, we NEED you! We need better candidates.
Be part of the solution!
