New: While on a CODEL to Colombia last summer, Sen. Ruben Gallego and his chief stayed out until 3 a.m. partying at a club and asked multiple embassy staffers to join them, despite warnings from the U.S. Embassy in Colombia that they had identified a credible threat to Gallego’s life. At least one female embassy employee told her colleagues she received a message from Gallego asking her to come out. notus.org/senate/ruben-g…

We have to SAVE the SAVE America Act. I’m grateful for American patriots like @BasedMikeLee for not letting up. We must keep up the good fight to deliver SECURE elections for the American people — even if it means BLOWING UP the filibuster. 🇺🇸

🚨 HOLY CRAP! FBI Director Patel says leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been indicted, was using donor to pay leaders of the KU KLUX KLAN to stage "HATE CRIMES" "They used the FRAUDULENTLY raised money by lying to their donor network—THOUSANDS of Americans—to go ahead and actually PAY the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups. "Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center—on TOP of perpetuating this widespread decade-long multimillion dollar fraud—conducted more criminal activity. They attempted to HIDE their criminal activity from our financial banking network. They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were DECEIVED in believing that money was NOT coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud." @FBIDirectorKash
