I am one damn lucky man. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is day 145 of asking @LeaderJohnThune to pass the SAVE America Act. Can you believe I’ve had to petition Leader Thune for 145 consecutive days to do his job?

Two simple Truths: Jesus Christ died for our sins. America’s fallen died for our freedom. May we live worthy.

@r0berto_mid_5 You’ve obviously never been to Ohio

I think this area might be the most racist place in the world

Proud to be in DC tonight. Honored to be the Grand Marshall for the Memorial Day Parade tomorrow. Here to give Respect and Gratitude to our Fallen. Remember them on #MemorialDay.

@ScottPresler Tell them nobody cares. Tell them to get their butts off their shoulders and do the damn job they are paid to do. The will of the people. Same goes for you Sir, we don’t pay you to podcast. We pay you to get things done. Of late all I’ve seen you do is podcast and vacation.

BREAKING Senator Ted Cruz revealed on his podcast that 4 Senators are P*SSED: ▪️Bill Cassidy ▪️Thom Tillis ▪️John Cornyn ▪️Rand Paul From President Trump’s endorsements to losing elections, each of these Senators — according to Cruz — is angry. With a 53-47 majority, we can’t afford to lose 4 votes & this will complicate how we move forward. Source: Verdict with Ted Cruz

@TeamCornyn @newtgingrich It is really rare to see Speaker Gingrich wrong, but its happened before.

Former Speaker @newtgingrich knows effective conservative leadership matters. Texas needs a Senator who will continue delivering for Texans, protect our conservative majority, and fight for the values that make our state strong. I’ve done that throughout my career, and I will keep getting results for Texas families in the Senate.

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom. THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸

Those were good times. :)

This is day 144 of asking @LeaderJohnThune to pass the SAVE America Act.

@JohnCornyn @statesman This is day 144 of asking @LeaderJohnThune to pass the SAVE America Act.

@RobertMSterling No. Not once in his career did he do brilliant comedy. Jerry Seinfeld did, Rodney Dangerfield did, but Colbert never did. At best we was C-Level.

The tragedy of Stephen Colbert is that he really is a brilliant comedic talent and—according to those who know him in real life—a kind and thoroughly decent man. He could have maintained his liberal political beliefs while ring-fencing them from the Late Show and no one would have cared. Instead, though, he sold out, electing to become little more than a regime-media court jester, a funny man’s Rachel Maddow. He chose pandering to an actuarially decaying audience of geriatric shitlibs over remaining funny to a broad and politically inclusive audience, and he ultimately paid the price through declining relevance, reduced ratings. and decimated advertising revenue. It would be tragic, if it weren’t so completely well deserved.

Stephen King has never proved that he’s not a pedophile

@ThePrimeagen When the dust finally settles, and we all realize the discipline required to properly use agents, I think we will be looking at a productivity increase on the order of a factor of 2 to 5.

Hello Senator Thune, I'm replying to your post from yesterday: "Despite Democrats' partisan games, we're still going to get the entire federal government funded." Today, you sent the Senate home... not because of Democrats. Because of you. Here's what actually happened. On May 18, the DOJ announced an Anti-Weaponization Fund: $1.776 billion to compensate Americans harmed by Biden-era DOJ abuse. Your own caucus revolted. After a two-hour closed-door meeting, you departed for Memorial Day recess without a vote. ICE and CBP funding, punted to June 1. The "partisan games," it turns out, were yours. Your stated objections: no congressional authorization, no eligibility standards, no legal precedent, executive overreach. Fine. But let's talk about November 2025, when you tucked a provision into the government funding bill. The FBI had quietly seized phone records from eight Republican senators without notice, under an investigation codenamed "Arctic Frost." Your provision gave those senators, and only those senators, $500,000 per violation, retroactive to 2022. The House voted 426-0 to repeal it. The critics weren't opposed to compensating victims of DOJ abuse. They were opposed to senators compensating themselves while doing no other structural reforms. Lindsey Graham held the Senate hostage to preserve it. He delayed a spending deal in January 2026 to secure a floor vote on his revised version. Let's put the two columns next to each other: ➤ DOJ abused senators: $500K/violation payout, senators only, no hearings, no process, no eligibility debate, no floor vote on substance. ➤ DOJ abused Americans: "very legitimate questions," two-hour meeting, Senate goes home, reconciliation punted, June 1 deadline in jeopardy. You told Punchbowl News you "did not personally see a need for this fund." You personally saw a need for the fund when the targets were you. Go cry harder to your Punchbowl friends @JakeSherman and @AndrewDesiderio, because at this rate, they'll soon become the only people who are buying what you're selling.

Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens." And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds. Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before. Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax. A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program. Simple. They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why. They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed. They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak. By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that... And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren??? Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget. NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K. NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane. The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol. So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that. A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical. It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY. Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough. Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem. That's the SCAM. Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her. Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal. Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck. Outrage is deflection. They'd rather she pay. Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.

Congratulate me. I made it exactly two posts into my feed today before some jackass west coast startup announced, in the proudest manner possible, that they fired almost a quarter of their staff because they sucked. Oh, and things are great there and only looking up. 👍 Pro tip: if you layoff some of your team, write the f'in announcement yourself. Don't use AI to write 90%+ of the post. Same goes for a thank you email. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
