Hegseth: "Basic training is being restored to what it should be -- scary, tough, and disciplined. We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits ... they can put hands on recruits." (2025)

@BasedMikeLee @SenateGOP Hmmmm, did most of you actually read it? Doubtful . Someone gave you a summary, and you parrot it.
English
If you listen to Senator Schumer and the Democrats, you would believe the American people are dumb or incompetent- they are neither.
Democrats also think that noncitizens should be allowed to vote and that election fraudsters shouldn’t have to prove their identity.
On the behalf of the 32 million Texans I represent, I find these arguments deeply offensive. 🧵

@highbrow_nobrow And Meghan supported this man. Heartbreaking, cruel and inexcusable.

“John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up…”
- Years after the passing of Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Donald Trump continues to mock the injuries the former POW sustained while being tortured in Vietnam. (2024)

@DHSgov No. They're attempting to get them to show ID and take off their masks. Also don't want to increase their slush fund. But you know that. You blocked their funding bill because of it. FYI, thought you were the big show an ID people? Don't wear a mask people? Ahhhh, the irony
English
Democrats are forcing TSA agents to work without pay for the third time in nearly six months.
The financial hardship this Democrat-led chaos created has already forced more than 300 of these heroic officers to LEAVE the force.
Democrats must fund DHS NOW.
English
@SenKatieBritt @SenateGOP The way I understand it Republicans blocked the funding bill because it didn't add to the ICE slush fund. Maybe we don't approve of building more concentration camps?
English
Daily reminder that Democrats blocked funding for HOMELAND SECURITY including the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA.
ICE and CBP are still funded and will continue to deport criminal illegal aliens.
English
@BasedMikeLee @SenateGOP They offered a compromise and you rejected it. Tell the rest of the story
English
I spoke to a TSA officer yesterday
He noted that it’s fundamentally unfair that a handful of members of Congress are preventing his colleagues from getting paid—just to make a political point—resulting in profound suffering for them and their families
He couldn’t be more right
Senate Republicans@SenateGOP
It's time for Democrats to put politics aside, protect America, and fund Homeland Security.
English
Democrats are once again playing political games with the livelihoods of our heroic TSA officers.
This shutdown has forced these officers and 100,000 other DHS workers to work without pay — putting them and their families in financial uncertainty.
Enough is enough. It’s time for Democrats to end the DHS shutdown.
English
@PLW_nc1989 @SenMikeLee Except the Real ID process is complicated and Save Act won't even accept that.
English
@SenMikeLee It’s the same process as the Real ID…it’s not complicated. Smh…just fear mongering and virtue signaling.
English
Let’s put an end to the misinformation: the SAVE America Act helps Americans to prove their citizenship & identity without spending a dime.
With that cleared up, I look forward to my Democrat colleagues supporting this wildly popular & important election security legislation!

President Trump is preparing an executive order that he says will try to revert the economics of college sports back to what they were like before players could profit from their name, image, and likeness. CBS News’ Major Garrett talks with Yahoo Sports writer Ross Dellenger on “The Takeout” about what the impact on NIL could be.
English
@highbrow_nobrow @Acyn Sure . Disenfranchise married women, intimidate POC at polling places with Kavanaugh stops, and he could be right. Save America ? Save DJT is more like it.
English
Trump on Save Act: “If we get this they probably won't win an election for 50 years, okay, and maybe longer.”
FC: Trump believes stricter voting rules would reduce Democratic turnout and favor Republicans. @Acyn (2026)
English
@atrupar @ANNELAMOTT Are you going to retrain your thuggish agents and eliminate quotas? If not, a new agency head doesn't matter.
English
Mike Johnson: "We had a little hiccup with some Latino and Hispanic voters for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous. Everybody can describe it differently, but here's the good news: we're in a course-correction mode right now. We're gonna have a new DHS secretary."
English
@SenateGOP Something that could have been considered BEFORE an unprovoked war that promised regime change in Iran but resulted in a more extreme leader being installed? Also, destroying a girls' school and killing several children? And we wonder at threats of retaliation? Do your jobs.
English
@reedgalen Yeah. Just imagine how many citizens they can tackle, detain, and lock up until after the election. Oops . We thought you were an illegal. My bad. Object to being detained and they might just shoot you in the head. You know. Domestic terrorism. One less loony leftist 😬
English
MAGA knows a lot about people exposing themselves...
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats are REFUSING to reopen DHS because Republicans will not commit to keeping ICE agents away from polling places Jeffries just admitted Democrats ANTICIPATE illegals voting. They’re EXPOSING themselves
English
@RepHouchin @DHSgov Awww. Then let Republicans negotiate an end to the shutdown.
English
Day 24 of the Democrats’ reckless DHS shutdown, and Americans are paying the price.

SECURITY SLOWDOWN: Travelers at airports across the country facing hours-long lines to get through security due to TSA staffing shortages as the DHS government shutdown shows no sign of ending. The Department of Homeland Security has been without funding since mid-February after Congress failed to reach a deal.

@BaddCompani Pope Leo speaks for millions of us. No respect for either religion or Christianity.
English
@SenJohnKennedy @SenateGOP I'm not part of the loon wing. I'm a middle of the road Dem. But I believe our reps are doing the right thing. Time for Republicans to make some concessions. ICE has plenty of money. Now they need to be reigned in. Citizens need to be protected. And no more concentration camps.
English
If there ever were a time to come together to fund DHS, it’s NOW.
But my Democratic colleagues aren’t being rational.
They’re scared to death of getting punished by the loon wing of their party, and they’re not budging.
English
NEW: An NBC poll finds Pope Leo XIV and Stephen Colbert are the most popular figures in American public life.
Donald Trump, JD Vance, both parties, ICE, and AI are underwater.
A Catholic pope from Chicago is the most trusted man in the country.
Govern accordingly. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…

@cspan @LeaderJohnThune Funding only what THEY like? Maybe, just maybe, Dems are listening to us, their constituents, the people who pay their salaries. Reign in ICE. Stop detaining citizens and legal immigrants. No more concentration camps. No more brutality.
English
.@LeaderJohnThune: "Democrats want to fund the parts of the Department of Homeland Security, that they like, and keep the rest shut down indefinitely."
English
@SenRickScott @SenateGOP Maybe compromise on ICE? I'm a senior and I have to pay thousands in taxes to build concentration camps? No thank you.
English
Democrats are playing political games with Americans’ safety. They’ve been refusing to fund DHS FOR WEEKS, the very agency that PROTECTS our homeland. It’s ridiculous!
What’s it going to take for Dems to finally put Americans FIRST and FUND DHS?!
