🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump is now considering using his Constitutional powers to END the Senate and House paid vacation to make them come back and fund DHS This would be EPIC! Article II, Section 3 grants Trump this special power. Make them WORK. Do it Mr. President! 🇺🇸

This is a civilizational iq test: > the vast majority of Americans support voter id > it is an obvious requirement for secure elections (almost every major democracy does) > yet the senate is on recess rather than passing this bill if we don’t get this done, we are legitimately cooked

President Trump's term limits proposal restricts House members to 6 years and senators to 12 years, potentially replacing 73% of the 115th Congress—318 House representatives and 46 senators—to advance his "Drain The Swamp" initiative. Do you support this?

Hello Punchbowl News, The central finding: "Most K Street leaders (88%) say the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement will harm Republicans in the midterms." Eighty-eight percent of K Street leaders. Let me introduce you to Main Street. McLaughlin & Associates conducted a national survey of 2,000 likely voters between February 27 and March 3, 2026 — the same window as your K Street poll. Here is what actual Americans said: 🔹 Seventy-two percent say addressing illegal immigration is an important priority. 🔹 Eighty-two percent agree immigration policy should serve the interests of American citizens, including 71% of Democrats and 81% of independents. 🔹 Seventy-eight percent agree immigration to the United States is a privilege and not a right, including 60% of Democrats and 70% of Hispanics. 🔹 Seventy-six percent agree the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens, including 57% of Democrats and 72% of Hispanics. 🔹 Two-thirds support deporting migrants who enter the country illegally, including 62% of independents and 59% of Hispanics. Your 88% says immigration enforcement hurts Republicans. America's 72% says it's an important priority. Your 88% says the GOP is in danger. America's 66% says deport them. Your K Street leaders are not predicting the midterms. They're telling you what they want, and you're publishing it as news. Now let's talk about who's in the room. Your article identifies the survey partner as "independent public affairs firm, LSG," hyperlinked to teamlsg[.]com... which redirects to locuststreet[.]com, the Locust Street Group. LSG is a Washington, D.C. public affairs firm whose website describes its services as "integrated strategic communications and public affairs campaigns." That is not an independent research firm. That is a lobbying and public affairs shop with registered LDA filings, running legislative campaigns for corporate clients who need things from Congress. And you called them "independent" in the same sentence where you presented their survey of K Street lobbyists as a news finding about American politics. You surveyed the lobbying industry, in partnership with a lobbying firm, many of whose partners also sponsored Punchbowl, and reported the result as though it were a measure of political reality. Eighty-eight percent of K Street wants immigration enforcement to stop. That is an interest declaration from the people who profit from the status quo, laundered through a press credential. About that credential. Senate Standing Rule VI governs the congressional press galleries. The rules require that credentialed members are "(a) not engaged in paid publicity or promotion work" and "(b) not engaged in any lobbying activity and will not become so engaged while a member of the gallery." Your 2026 sales deck offers corporations $300,000 for custom content "mutually agreed upon" between sponsor and outlet. It prices "Fly Out Day" lawmaker appearances at $75,000 to $100,000 a month. It sells newsletter sponsorships at $225,000 per week. Goldman Sachs, PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Meta, JPMorgan, Blackstone, and the American Investment Council (all documented sponsors) are not buying journalism. You are conducting paid publicity for corporate clients under a credential whose rules explicitly prohibit paid publicity. No wonder why John Thune felt comfortable passing a bill at 2 AM that defunded immigration enforcement while 76% of the country, including 57% of Democrats, agrees the government's first duty is to protect American citizens. He didn't need to read the polls. He read Punchbowl. The Standing Committee of Correspondents should review whether Punchbowl News meets the requirements for congressional press gallery credentials. If "mutually agreed upon" content for $300,000, lawmaker appearances priced at $100,000 a month, and surveys conducted in partnership with a registered lobbying firm do not constitute "paid publicity" or "lobbying activity" under Rule VI... then the rule has no meaning, and the press gallery is just another K Street address with better hallway access. You are the story, Punchbowl News.
