I'm old enough to remember when Democrats told us "immigrants" aren't on welfare and if you thought otherwise you were a Racist, Lying, Conspiracy Theorist

Good evening @RepRoKhanna. We hope you had a nice Saturday. Several people have requested we comment on your post. We will quickly before we take Mrs. USOGA out for date night. First - like you, we hope this war will end soon and things will return to normal. Until then - things will be what they will be. But high gas prices in your district aren’t “Trump’s war”—they’re Sacramento’s doing. California drivers pay nearly double the national average in state taxes, plus cap-and-trade, Low Carbon Fuel Standard, unique reformulated gasoline, refinery limits, and geographic isolation that blocks cheap imports. That adds $1.00–$1.78+ over the U.S. average. Here is our suggestion. Your proposed windfall profits tax will do nothing to bring relief to your overtaxed and underappreciated constituents. Instead -suspend those state-level taxes first and bring California prices in line with the national average. Put your state bureaucracy on a diet. They could stand to shed a few pounds. Encourage California domestic oil and gas production and expand your refinery capacity instead of shutting it down. Stand up to your Governor. You know he is wrong and you can be on the right side of things And let's talk windfall profits tax. They don't work. While you don't call it a windfall profits tax, California recently passed one and called it a "wealth tax" now you see high net worth individuals fleeing your state. History proves it backfires. The 1980 Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax cut domestic production 1–8% (hundreds of millions of barrels lost), boosted imports 3–13%, raised far less revenue than projected after deductions, created massive bureaucracy, and was repealed in 1988 because it discouraged supply exactly when America needed more. That in turn led us to depend even more on Middle East imports for another 20 years right up until the shale revolution occurred. Kind of like how California is dependent on imports now. Your repeated sponsorship of a new Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act would repeat the exact same mistake—shrinking U.S. output and raising costs. Crude exports? They expand global supply, narrow price spreads (WTI-Brent) which is exerts downward pressure on world prices. It is directly helping allies in Europe and Asia counter China's skirting sanctions and colluding with Iran to purchase crude at huge discounts. Restricting exports would tighten markets, spike costs everywhere—including here—and hurt the consumers you claim to protect. Finally we must also point out that your voting record shows consistent opposition to our industry you want to tax. For example, you: Voted against leasing more public lands and waters for oil drilling (2023, Roll Call 23). Voted against reversing land-management protections to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas drilling—multiple times, including 2025 Roll Call 295 and earlier efforts to halt ANWR development. Opposed critical oil and gas leasing reforms and fast-tracking fossil-fuel infrastructure (2024 Roll Call 95; 2025 votes undermining LNG authority and blocking fracking bans). Voted NO on NDAA provisions that would expedite oil/gas permitting (2022–2023). You have a 99% lifetime League of Conservation Voters score—near-perfect opposition to domestic energy exploration, production and leasing. You’ve led hearings attacking us and sponsored bills to repeal industry tax provisions. Fine—own that record. But please stop shifting blame to “Trump’s war” or federal policy while California’s own choices keep your constituents paying the highest pump prices in America. Real relief comes from more American supply + streamlined permitting, not recycled 1980s taxes or more restrictions. Energy abundance, not rhetoric, lowers prices and bolsters U.S. and allied security. Mrs. USOGA has instructed us to put the phone away so we will do that. Have a good weekend.

John Thune is trying to STOP President Trump's America First agenda. As the most powerful person in Congress he can do it. Enough is enough. Taking a TWO WEEK vacation with everything going on is a huge F YOU to Presidrnt Trump. Thune needs to be REPLACED. Now.

t.co/jxAkATL6aH This is insane. Calls are mounting to denaturalize and deport Ugandan-born Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Rep. Randy Fine just exposed that Mamdani lied on his U.S. citizenship forms by hiding his affiliations with prohibited organizations. This is a massive fraud. A radical foreign national infiltrated the country, lied to the federal government, and hijacked a public office while backing groups that despise American values. Denaturalize and deport him immediately. Follow me for more.

Reports: French and British vessels paid $2 million in ‘protection fees’ to the Islamic regime to sail through Hormuz! Bravo to these brave Europeans for funding terrorism! Absolute peak cowardice 😂

JAPAN: Thousands gathered to protest the construction of the first mosque in Fujisawa. The proposed mosque would be much larger than the nearby Shinto shrine, an act of provocation. “We don’t want a single mosque, or Muslim cemetery here!”

Chris Ostroushko is a COWARD who pushed a defenseless woman (Savannah Hernandez) from behind as his wife and daughter, DeYanna and Paige Ostroushko attacked her. He is a woman abuser. It's "men" like this that wouldn't say shit to a real man one on one in the streets.

Why the f*** are 16,000 immigrants on welfare???????? THAT’S THE STORY

Dear world, Iran was not originally a Muslim country. It was conquered by Islam. Iranians are demanding freedom from Islam and are being brutally massacred for it. Western countries should look closely and see what happens when Islam takes over.

LOVE THIS 🚨 Ro Khanna is blaming high gas prices in (CA) on Trump But he got fact checked by the Oil & Gas assoc of America 👇 High gas prices in your district aren’t “Trump’s war”—they’re Sacramento’s doing CA pays nearly double the national average in state taxes, plus cap-and-trade, Low Carbon Fuel Standard, unique reformulated gasoline, refinery limits, and geographic isolation that blocks cheap imports That adds $1.00–$1.78+ over the U.S. average

It only takes 5 senators to start the process to remove John Thune as Majority leader. ZERO (0) of them have stepped up. I am trying to understand the reason. It is either: A) They are afraid, or B) They like having him as their Leader. I'm not sure which it is. Your take?

The filibuster was NEVER meant to be a permanent veto on the American people. Radical Democrats have used it to stop nominations and BLOCK America-first legislation. It’s time to stop the madness and BLOW UP the filibuster so we can deliver on the American people's mandate to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and FULLY fund DHS!

Thune is so weak. And intentionally screwing Trump on recess appointments. I think he and Mitch are first to do this to a President of their own party in generations.

YES! The House and Senate have been fully compromised. I believe President Trump should declare a State of Emergency and dismiss all Congress. We need new people there.

I DON’T CARE WHO IT IS. ANY REPUBLICAN WHO WANTS AMNESTY IS A F*CKING RINO TRAITOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MAGA WANT THEM ALL GONE. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM PERIOD

🇺🇸🇬🇧 ÚLTIMA HORA: El Reino Unido se niega a unirse al bloqueo de Trump en Hormuz - NO enviará barcos a la zona. La cobardía de Europa ante el terrorismo islámico es vergonzosa.

Weird. I was repeatedly told by Democrats that immigrants can’t get welfare.

🚨BREAKING: 🚨 GOP Senate Majority Leader RINO John Thune has been SECRETLY MEETING with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, plotting ways to obstruct and block the agenda of President Trump, including keeping the filibuster in place, undermining his tariffs and attempting to SABOTAGE his administration's war effort in Iran. These SECRET LATE NIGHT MEETINGS have reportedly been happening since the beginning of President Trump's second term, with Thune alleged to be a part of the RINO coup to take back the Republican Party from President Trump and the MAGA movement and accused of being financially compromised by communist China. REMOVE TRAITOR THUNE AS MAJORITY LEADER NOW! 💪🏻🇺🇸

🚨 JUST IN: Mike Davis and Harmeet Dhillon (Assistant AG for the DOJ Civil Rights Division) have CONFIRMED that the FBI has opened an investigation into the brutal assault of reporter Savanah Hernandez. DO YOU SUPPORT THE FBI's INVOLVEMENT IN THIS CASE?

@paratroopbrady @jennay09052011 I can’t help but wish Trump was a king so he could do yo these “no kings” dumbfvcks what a king would do to these “no kings” dumbfvcks.

Of course they are violent, they are part of the "No Kings" retard group.
