Meanwhile in St. Louis

🚨New: I asked Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger what her message is to Stephanie Minter’s family and children who have been harmed by illegal immigrants. Minter is a Virginia mother who was murdered in Fairfax County. Her accused killer is illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh. In a separate case this month, Culpeper police charged an illegal immigrant for soliciting sexually explicit videos from three girls under the age of 10 years old via a popular video game for little kids.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL pro-Iran regime protest: Hollywood resident Mohamed Aljarameh proudly yells "We are pro Hamas". Aljarameh is from Amman, Jordan yet is in Florida proudly declaring support for a U.S. designated terror group.

This is what modern-day labor trafficking looks like on paper. A purchase order. A delivery address. And a Texas state agency as the buyer. Now let me also show you how the system is manipulated. The employer told the federal government on their H-1B filing for the Texas Department of State Health Services that this role was a “Business Analyst” under a Data Scientist code, classified at a Level II wage, meaning entry to mid-level experience, paid $93K/year, needed for three years, full-time. But the purchase order with the same agency tells a very different story. The State of Texas is buying a Business Analyst 3, a senior-level role, at $106/hour (~$220K/year equivalent) for just three months. So, which is it? Mid-level $93K employee for 3 years? Or senior level $220K consultant for 3 months? Same employer. Same buyer. Same person. Same role. Same location. • Lower job level → lower prevailing wage • Short-term contract → contradicts “full-time” claim • Massive rate gap → someone is capturing the spread And the State of Texas? They sign the purchase order. They fund the contract. They never ask how the labor was classified, priced, or controlled.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

🚨 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he's going to "double down" on protecting illegal aliens from ICE even after the murder of Sheridan Gorman: "This tragedy is not going to deter us from our work."
