The Senate Republican Conference is chaired by Sen. Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton, with Vice Chair Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford. They lead caucus activities, including elections for positions like Majority Leader. These are the linchpins. #Oklahoma #Arkansas voters it’s on you

Roberts cries about hostility towards judges… Nationwide Injunctions: 8 years of Reagan: 12 4 years of H Bush: 6 8 year of Clinton: 12 8 years of W Bush: 6 8 years of Obama: 12 4 years of Biden: 14 40 years of previous Presidents: 62 5 years of Trump: 96 Judicial Activism.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Senate Democrats were just asked to pass ONLY the voter ID part of the SAVE America Act... ...and they BLOCKED it. Democrats said "we support voter ID, not all the other stuff" So Sen. Jon Husted filed to do exactly that. THEY JUST WANT FRAUD! SEN. MIKE LEE: "Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act." "Well, Sen Jon Husted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it."

@sappholives83 He is the reason the US retains the right to bear arms.

This is Banaras Hussein. He’s the leader of the Rotherham grooming gang, and he’s just been released. Hussein was convicted of raping 15 girls for ten long years, starting when they were 11. He threatened to kill them and their families. He ripped out the fingernails of girls who tried to escape. Hussein was found guilty on 55 separate counts. That was just 9 years ago. Now he’s a free man - in a country where you can get two years for a tweet. Don’t tell me there’s no such thing as a two-tier justice system. (In the US, this would have gotten him life without parole, and there’s a solid chance someone would have provided the extrajudicial application of the sentence he should have received. American prisons are bad places for men who rape little kids.)

@realMaalouf It’s always young men. Once Iran settles there is no reason for asylum and they should go back and try to build their ideals in their home country. Voluntarily or with a strong push…

Muslim migrants in Germany: "When we become the majority, we will take over Germany by force. German laws will be replaced by Sharia law. If anyone stands against us, we will attack them. Christians and Jews will have to convert or leave.” They mean every word they say!

@Osint613 There is still hope for #Spain as the media coverage tends to highlight the progressive/globalist bent, however if you dig deeper the popular trend is to the center or center right supported by 57% of the people in recent polls and in wins in local elections.

Spaniard MP Ione Belarra: "The U.S. and Israel are the greatest threat to the security of humanity. Spain should leave NATO without delay."

@BasedMikeLee Simplify the demand and at least get the main driver of confidence -go for valid citizenship ID for all votes and set strict voting deadlines. Work the mail in ballot issue later but ensure mechanisms for servicemen overseas will get their votes counted and not stolen.

One day on the SAVE America Act and we're already seeing progress Already seeing progress We must stay on this until it passes No weekend breaks No recess until this is done Who agrees?

@Senami_Senami @DeliciousDarth @IghoThony @HillelNeuer Bookmark this and let’s come back to it in a week. The majority of the Persian populace is still on hold. No call to action yet as more ‘softening’ of the theocratic restraints needs to be done.

@DeliciousDarth @esgriskguy @IghoThony @HillelNeuer The generals are already in charge of the islamic republic, where is the regime change ?

I despise Al Jazeera. But this analysis by Exeter University professor Muhanad Seloom is worth reading: • “Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war.” • “But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.” • “When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.” • “When proxies launch retaliatory attacks across the region, this is not evidence of an expanding network; it is evidence of predelegated response authority, which is what a centralised command system activates when it anticipates its own destruction. Predelegation is a sign of desperation, not strength. It means the centre can no longer coordinate. The attacks will continue, but they will become increasingly uncoordinated, strategically incoherent and politically costly for the host states where these groups operate.” • “Seventeen days in, Iran’s supreme leader is dead, his successor is reportedly wounded and every principal instrument of Iranian power projection – missiles, nuclear infrastructure, air defences, the navy, proxy command networks – has been degraded beyond near-term recovery. The campaign’s execution has been imperfect, its public communication poor and its post-conflict planning incomplete. War is never clean. But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working.” aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…

I am not a ‘club’ person, never good at going lockstep, so I don’t claim the #MAGA label but I do agree with many of the goals. This is a great list of accomplishments. So if you are rational, when the progressive club claims nothing done, use these facts-thanks @BskiMike22802 .

@RepLuna What will it take for you to do that? Is it happening? I see many posts but no actions.

The Senate would walk over broken glass to pass FISA, which is why FISA is the perfect vehicle to attach the SAVE America Act and force a vote. No more excuses. No more delays. Attach it, pass it, and get voter ID done.

@JoshBlockDC @HillelNeuer They see the writing on the wall. Unlike Iraq, this may be a sea change for the mid-east

@HillelNeuer Amazing what can be published there when the bosses of Qatar tell AJ to tell the truth, not shitpost anti-Israel propaganda

@IghoThony @HillelNeuer I am sure the 35,000 of their own civilians that Iran’s theocratic leaders killed last month might want a say in that strategy….oh but for some odd reason they can’t. You need to erase the theocracy then negotiate.

Excellent piece. However, it seems to have looked at one side of the coin only: "....But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working.” This seems to have considered only the degradation of Iran's capabilities & not that of the US & Israel which military infrastructure, including across the GCC states have been seriously impacted. At the end of this war, no side will come out unscathed & the Middle East will not be the same again economically, militarily & probably politically. For the sake of the suffering citizens & the world economy, a negotiated solution should be reached as soon as possible.

@shanaka86 Cut the ethanol mandates. When we have an excess of fossil fuels, there is no good reason to use finite farmland for fuel when it could be better used to feed people.

Right now, in barns and equipment sheds across the American Midwest, farmers are making the most consequential decision of this war. Not generals. Not senators. Farmers. At $683 per ton urea, corn economics have collapsed. Nitrogen is the single largest input cost for corn production. At pre-war prices a farmer could justify 180 pounds per acre and expect a margin. At $683 the math breaks. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria. They do not need the molecule trapped behind the Strait of Hormuz. The seed decision is being made this week across roughly 90 million acres of American cropland. Once the planter rolls into the field, the choice is irreversible. Corn seed in the ground stays corn. Soy seed stays soy. The acreage allocation locks in. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. That report will tell the world how American agriculture responded to the Hormuz blockade. But the decisions it captures are being made now, in conversations between farmers and agronomists and seed dealers who are looking at nitrogen prices and making the rational economic choice: plant the crop that does not need the input you cannot afford. Every acre that shifts from corn to soybeans tightens the corn balance sheet for the rest of the year. Corn feeds livestock. Corn feeds ethanol. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually, consuming roughly 43 percent of the US corn crop regardless of price. That demand is inelastic. If acres shift and production falls while the mandate holds, corn prices spike. Feed costs spike. The protein cascade reverses. The US cattle herd sits at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry and pork margins that were benefiting from cheap feed compress when corn crosses $5 per bushel. This is how a naval blockade 7,000 miles from Iowa reaches the American grocery shelf. Not through oil. Not through shipping. Through nitrogen. The farmer cannot afford the molecule. The molecule cannot transit the strait. The farmer plants soy instead. The corn supply tightens. The ethanol mandate consumes its fixed share. The remaining corn reprices. The feed reprices. The meat reprices. The grocery bill reprices. The decision is not political. It is arithmetic performed on a kitchen table by a person who needs to plant in three weeks and cannot wait for a ceasefire, an escort convoy, or an insurance normalisation that the Red Sea precedent says takes years. The deepest penetrator in the American arsenal cannot reach a sealed Iranian doctrinal packet. But the fertiliser price it failed to resolve is reaching every planting decision on 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. The war’s most irreversible consequence is not happening in a bunker. It is happening in a barn. And by the time USDA publishes the data on March 31, the seeds will already be in the ground.

A BBC article claims the island of Cartí Sugdupu (Gardi Sugdub) is being abandoned because of rising seas. But that's not what's happening. More than 1,000 people live on an island denser than New York City (without the high rises). Residents are relocating because there is no space, not because the island is drowning. The broader science tells the same story. A large satellite analysis of more than 700 islands across 30 atolls found 88.6% were either stable or increased in size, while only about 11% shrank. Another major study of Tuvalu's 100 islands found 73 islands expanded between 1971 and 2014, which, despite alarmist photo ops by the UN, increased the country's total land area by 2.9%. Coral islands naturally shift, build and reshape themselves. But that reality doesn't fit the narrative.

@elonmusk So when Thune kills #saveact, the last hope we have is to get all the armchair quarterbacks who don’t vote to get off their asses, work the mail in ballots, increase oversight, file lawsuits and work the whitespace harder than the left. @ScottPresler had it right. I will do more.

True

🚨 BREAKING: The US Senate just voted to ADVANCE the SAVE America Act, 51-48 It's time for a TOTAL FLOOR TAKEOVER and Republican senators drawing out debate for DAYS! Insane an 85-15 issue with the public can barely crack 50% in the Senate. DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL IT'S LAW! 🇺🇸

@nicksortor @BasedMikeLee Can it be done?

🚨 BREAKING: Several Republican Senators may be planning a “FLOOR TAKEOVER” tomorrow to FORCE the talking filibuster and require Democrats to have to SPEAK against the bill "I'm ALL for it. Let's do it! Let's take over the floor," @BasedMikeLee said 🔥 The American people are behind you, Senator Lee!

The Senate needs a new Leader, one that cares.

@darrengrimes And it’s also ironic that the left thinks it’s fine to exclude women. New York will not be too far behind, but hopefully the New Yorkers have learned from your mistakes.

Why are Muslims allowed to close off Trafalgar Square to pray? More importantly who authorised it? This is a blatant domination tactic being employed, why are we caving into it?

That is too bad - I thought he was more of a balanced independent.
