@MaryEdmun29700 @mmpadellan @OccupyDemocrats @grok He did not stop mail in voting. Verified ballots will be mailed out to each citizen requesting one. Every citizen still has the option of mail in voting.

@mmpadellan @OccupyDemocrats @grok can Trump do this?

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression. I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #TrumpVotedByMail. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

Every day I fight for this City, I am supported by Heidi’s faith and Gunner’s prayers for the dogs on Skid Row. This is good versus evil, and good must prevail.

🚨 BREAKING: The Fake News has just been caught REFUSING to cover this pro-Iranian pro-Trump demonstration in Washington DC... ...despite giving WALL TO WALL coverage to the paid "No Kings" BS protests THESE are patriots! The right side of history 🇺🇸🇮🇷

I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose... So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump. Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS. Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history. Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years. Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it. Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything. Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history. The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen. JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!! It's not that hard. He knew you hated him before the storm. He knew that when he landed in Asheville. And guess what? HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!! And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city. You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.

@mark60max @jackunheard We have two

@jackunheard how many is demanding? only need 5. do we have that?

BREAKING: House Republicans are now demanding Senate Republicans REMOVE John Thune from leadership. So far: - Rep. Tim Burchett - Rep. John Rose

Congress needs a leadership "Up or Out" System. More sound leadership and less political corruption. The U.S. Military uses an "up or out" strategy: Officers must promote within timelines or be separated—ensuring the most capable always lead. If passed over twice, they're out. This keeps leadership fresh, merit-based, and accountable. Follow the military standard: Always have the best in the lead. Match the challenges with the best possible leadership. Attempts at leadership in challenging situations shouldn't be diminished—but always evaluated against reality. The Senate has oversight responsibility and needs to act. Leadership evaluation and change is just part of an effective management process.

@jackunheard Go here now and demand your senator to remove Thune immediately:

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) GOES OFF on his own party for BLOCKING critical funding for DHS Preparations for the World Cup are now “significantly behind” schedule due to the shutdown. “MILLIONS are coming here for World Cup and we're sitting on our hands!” Schumer is a disgrace. 🎥 Fox News

@Shilohmarx The DMV here in North Carolina AUTOMATICALLY registers people to vote and they DO NOT check for citizenship beforehand. Please read that again. The ENTIRE VOTING REGISTRATION SYSTEM IN NORTH CAROLINA rests on the HONOR SYSTEM. All you have to do is check a box. That's it.
